Subject: Decks to beat??? Date: Sun, 26 Apr 1998 04:51:00 -0500 From: "Joel W. Young" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Im sorry but after I took a look at "the decks to beat", it seem to be missing one. This one is currently a strong winning ratio deck with extreme control. You'll find yourself unable to do much against it. I played against other decks and some of the new decks like hermit,trade-awake,new-sly,lobotomy-man o war and others and you will find this will tear them limb from limb. So I figured you had better see it to believe it. So here it is. Solitaire (Type II) - Created by: J.W. Young 4-26-97 4 Armageddon - Typical Land control 3 Aftershock - Artifact,Creature or Land Control 3 Abeyance - Control Period 2 Disenchant - Artifact, Enchantment Control 3 Wrath of God - I hear this is pretty good for creatures... 4 Gerrard's Wisdom - "Im at how much life, Holy *@#$!" 4 Tariff - "did you pay your taxes this round?" 4 Lotus Petal - Surprise!Surprise! I Armageddoned Early! 4 Soltari Champion - Built in Crusade? Hello! 4 Soltari Priest - Anyone playing Red? Hmmmm??? 1 Soltari Guerrillas - Anyone seen the new lightning bolt? 12 Mountains 12 Plains Sideboard 3 Ruination - Nahh,hey WOTC! This card ain't broke...! 2 Boil - You ever tasted Man O' War soup? 2 C.O.P. Red - Aww shucks just forget it. Nobody plays sleigh... 3 Pyroblast - I see your tradewind and I raise you a, uhh sorry different game... 2 Light of day - you drained me for how much that time??? 3 Soltari Monk - you were playing black, right? You will find the beat down a little hard on you in the beginning. But by the third turn your laying a creature on average and on the fourth it's who has the biggest cock' on the board that wins the game 'cause of Armageddon. If you play blue/green the first game is slow,but the sideboard makes him discard. God forbid you play someone who has a few basic lands in his/her deck. Ruination is broken (advantage Agassi 40 love) kind of broken. Tariff huh! The most unused card of the year. Let me see I don't have a creature and I don't have but two land and you layed a 7/7 Sliver Bitch from your graveyard on turn 2. Nahh this card Tariff sucks. Huh!!!!!! Anyway enjoy the deck.
