Subject: Why settle on Turbozvi?? A bit of tweakage.. Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1998 14:42:55 EDT From: Jiffey To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Frank-- Turbozvi is great and all--being the master of all cheeses, but it seems like a more reliable solution and thus one requiring less combo cards (albeit still a deck full of 'em) is evident with one black card: doomsday. This deck lacks any countering ability--but hey the only thing that hurts this would be dissipate. Still, the speed factor can still be improved to a difinitive and inevitable 2nd turn kill followed by the also inevitable victory cry of "Spring forth, my Burly Protector." Still, I raise a cry to all of those who actually stand in awe of this master degeneracy--i decree that ye should all include 17 disenchants in every deck. Still, I beleive that with the addition of doomsday this deck is much more reliable as there is less chance of stallout and furthermore, there is the security of next-card knowledge (always a top-deck..). And with the addition of more major black, vampiric tutor can be added which is good in this sort of deck w/o any explanation. Without further ado.. turbozvi v2.0 4x doomsday 4x vampiric tutor 4x dream halls 4x ancestral memories 1x inspiration 4x impulse 1x meditate 4x mana severance 2x gaea's blessing 1x lobotomy 4x mox diamond 2x mana vault 4x lotus petal 4x city of brass 4x gemstone mine 4x sylvenite temple 6x island NOTES: --only need 2 gaea's blessings b/c if you draw them both, pitch one to the d. halls to cast the other, etc... --addition of mox diamond just for increased chance of 1st turn stuff, and mebbe a rare 1st turn victory (almost impossible but still..). --may need to up black mana sources but that needs playtesting. -Jonathan Basirico "Oh no, i think i'm becoming a god"--julius ceasar on deathbed
