Subject: You might not wanna post this cause it is perty silly....but hey you might wanna so I sent to ya anyways Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 02:47:24 -0700 From: Shane Thompson To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Hey Frank......got a funny one for ya. Heh. The whole idea behind this was to make the jankiest deck alive that was still able to win a tournament. What I set out to do was to make people be embarrassed when they lost to this deck. I also had recently read about the MesaCraft deck.....didn't know what it was but I read up on earthcraft and noticed a very easy to setup infinite pony loop. I also noticed how easy it was to get infinite mana out of it also. A three card setup is almost as easy to setup as prosbloom, if not easier. Since you are not depending on getting the right cards in a prosperity, it is actually more dependable. With the infinite critter loop coming from the mesa/craft/growth on a plains setup, you can get infi-critter by turn 4. Along with that infi loop, you can combine an extra growth to get infinite green and drop a fireball or infistream of life. Heh...nothing worse than losing to an opponent with infinite life. Even if they manage to kill all the critters after the setup and get rid of a key component, no deck out there can deal with infinite life...except this deck. It has a good ability to get a 5th turn kill, it can deck via prosperity and 63card deck, it can fireball, or it can outlast via stream. Only bad side of it is it lobotomy. But with 8 counter in base and an additional 8 in side, it shouldn't lose much to lobotomy. The best thing about it is this. It looks so junky, that if you are unknown in your town you will get first round wins easy. People don't respect wild growth and steam of life =P. Some also dont like powersink and mem lapse still. So here she goes: 5CJ (5colorJank) MesaCrap MesaCraft whatever ya wanna call it.... 4 wild growth 4 earthcraft 2 cities of solitude 2 stream of life 2 sylvan libraries 1 island sanctuary 4 sacred mesa 4 armageddons 4 impulse 2 properity 3 mana leak 2 memory lapse 3 powersink 2 fireballs 2 vampiric tutors 3 cities of brass 3 undiscovered paradice 4 gemstone mines 3 forests 9 plains side 4 pyroblasts 1 powersink 3 disrupt 3 boil 2 cities of solitude 2 fireballs Later, Shane Thompson Long live Stream of life! YES! it IS tourney worthy! =)
