Subject: Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 19:25:47 -0500 From: "Derek T." To: Hey Frank, I doubt you remember me, cause I only posted one thing ( about green decks ). I got an idea for a Sliver deck which could possibly be a "deck to beat", but it's not very well tuned, so I don't know if it's better than "Counter-Sliver" ( which is a really good deck ). Anyway, it's basically G/R/b, and a lot of fun to play. At least, couldja post it in the Workshop, so I can get some critiques? Thankums in advance. 4 Metallic Sliver 4 Heart Sliver ( better than most people think! ) 4 Muscle Sliver 3 Acidic Sliver ( just the bomb - my Metallics are now grenades :) ) -- 15 slivers 3 Granger Guildmage ( white weenie is popular ) 2 Dwarven Miner ( so is U5C ) 2 Uktabi Orangutan 2 Barrow Ghoul ( great! ) -- 9 other critters, 24 total 2 Terror 1 Firestorm 4 Incinerate 3 Shock 2 Fireball -- 12 removal stuffs 3 Harrow ( just a great card. deck thinner, mana unhoser ) -- 3 stuffage 4 Gemstone Mine 2 City of Brass ( 3 City, 3 Mine? UD's? ) 3 Cinder Marsh ( Sulfurous Springs? These aren't too bad.. ) 2 Swamp 5 Mountain 5 Forest -- 21 lands, is that enough? Most of the deck is only 1-2 mana... Sideboard: 3 Pyroblast ( We all know why ) 3 Tranquil Domain ( Prop-Orb, Pros-Bloom ) 3 Honorable Passage ( Red decks in general ) 2 Terror ( Tradewinds, any nonblack deck ) 2 Goblin Bombardment ( Living Death! ) 2 Necromancy ( Godzilla - you Hidden Horror a Verdant Force? Ok, it's mine ) Email comments to playa@busprod.com - Flamers are lamers. ;) Oh yeah, and if anyone on IRC is looking for an Apprentice game in a little shack-net, go to #mtg on Castle.StarChat.Net / Galactica.StarChat.Net. :) Derek Thompson Scrub First place at a tourney in the middle of nowhere Lacking any other title ;) PS Mad props on the phat webpage.
