Subject: Stronghold Decks Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 22:04:37 -0000 From: ian.slater@pipemedia.co.uk (ian.slater) To: This is a V1.0 deck that is based around Bottomless Pit and Tradewind Rider. The idea is to keep off the opponent's attacks until you have two walls, a Rider and Bottomless Pit. You can then bounce back creatures and land to the opponent's hand and watch as they have to discard it from the pit. It's only had limited playtesting but it's main problems are against burn decks and decks with lots of shadow creatures. Any combo deck should die straight away due to the pit and lobotomy. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
