Subject: Stronghold Deck: The Blue Engine Date: Fri, 03 Apr 1998 01:34:07 PST From: "Brian Ling" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Hello all, The dojo's been great in augmenting many of my magic ideas i've come up with, and i though i should post something and contribute to the system. Give and take. I call this deck the blue engine, as its based around the awesome drawing power of pursuit of knowledge. Its basically a flying beatdown, turbo cantrip deck. The mind games are the best!!! You can tap winter orbs, or what ever, thus i opted to go with out diamonds. The cloudchaser eagles are great against propergenda, and also follows the similar theme. The silver wyvern is just the best card, stuff like burn, firewalkers, nakarataals or Man of wars can be redirected to other creatures. This card is just too good!!! I went aginst mana leak, disrupt or with too many dismisses as these counters are too limiting or expensive. Besides i'm not using mana control cards like winter orbs or geddons. Furthermore I rather be casting creatures, beating down my opponents, and hold my counters for something i cant handle like a wrath or geddon. The deck is in its infant stages, but it has perform well against many decks ive played against. 4 Brainstorm 4 Impulses 4 Counters 2 Dismiss 2 Dissapates 2 Silver Wyvern 2 Air Elementals 2 Waterspout 4 Man of Wars 2 Cloud Elementals 3 Mind Games 2 POK 2 Cloudchaser Eagle 1 Disenchant 3 Blue Medellians 2 Quicksands 2 Adarkar Wastes 3 Flood Plains 3 Plains 12 Islands 61 cards total SB- There are many cards for blue and white like null rod, rebound, chill, knight of the mists, blah blah blah...that can go well against many of the decks like Sligh, Properorb, Propergeddon, 4CB, 5CG. Just make the selection based on the decks in your area. Any advice and comments good and bad will be greatly appreciated. Thanks people!! ^_^ Please direct all comments to: Brian Ling at lingmiester@hotmail.com ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
