Subject: DECK - Bottomless Erati Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998 01:18:30 PDT From: "Josh Fenrich" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com When exodus first came out I saw Ertai and thought that his ability was powerful but he was also vulnerable, but the ability to counter one thing per turn was good. So I thought what card could make it so there would only be one thing to counter each turn and the answer was bottomless pit. I thought about for a while, and figured if it worked someone else would surely think of it, and build the deck better than me. So, I waited and no deck ever popped up, so here I present "Bottomless Ertai". Keep in mind I'm no tournament player and the deck will probably need adjusting, but here it is: Lock 4 Bottomless Pit 4 Ertai Wizard Adept Counters 4 Mana Leak 3 Counterspells Other Creatures 4 Manowars 4 Tradewind 4 Bottle Gnomes Utility/Removal 1 Lobotomy 4 Diabolic Edicts 4 Impulse Mana 2 Dark Rituals 4 Underground River 9 Islands 9 Swamps 60 Cards The idea is to get out an Ertai and a Bottomless, protect ertai until both hands are emptied, then use manowars or bottle gnomes for beatdown, tradewind stuff if you have to, while countering anything they cast with erati since they'll only have one card in there hand.
