Subject: Pandemonium Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 01:03:54 -0700 From: jhocker To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com I know that I've probably already waited too long to post this deck 'cause I've been playing it for weeks, and I'm not sure if this is how go about posting it, but anyway, here is the best type II deck I've ever played or seen: //White 4xSoul Warden //Blue x2Mana Leak x4Intuition x2Merfolk Looter x2Gaseous Form X4Shrieking Drake //Red x2Pandemonium x2Wall of Razors //Green x4Wall of Blossoms X3Birds of Paradise X2Quirion Elves x3Frog Tongue x3Aluren //Mana x3Lotus Petal x4Reflecting Pool x4Gemstone Mine X4City of Brass x2Forest //Artifact x4Urza's Bauble //Sideboard x4Pyroblast x3Hydroblast x2Shattering Pulse x4Counterspell x2Mana Leak I kind of think that there aren't any better decks than this. I know it kicks the crap out of everything else I've built, and I think I'm a pretty good player. Anyway, this is the fifth infinite loop that I've thought up on my own, and most definately the most powerfull. Just in case it's not apparent, I'll explain how the deck works. The first few turns you want to play all of the cards that let you draw cards. Even if this means casting a Frog Tongue on an opponents creature. Let all of your creatures die, they don't matter. The only ones you need are the Soul Warden and Shrieking Drake. Keep them in you hand untill you absolutely need them or untill you have Aluren and Pandemonium in play. Get these four cards out as quickly as possible using Intuition, 'Baubles, and Looters. When you have them, play Aluren and Pandemonium. If you only have enough mana to cast them during different turns, I suggest playing Aluren first. As soon as you have both of these enchantments out, play the 'Warden. Then play the 'Drake, infinitaley casting it and returning it to your hand. Each time it comes into play, you gain one life and your opponent or one of his creatures takes one damage. I've never seen anyone last more than seven turns against this deck. The only thing better is that Sonic Blast crap which, with any luck, has been errata'd. Jake Hocker realjake@hotmail.com
