 Hi Frank, this is my first time writing in, I hope you post it, but if not, I
understand, thanks for your time anyway.  I'm just writing in with a 3CW deck
that I thnk is really good right now in type 2, it is very effective in the
current field, I think it's a great metagame deck, so without further ado,
here it is, a 3CW tradewind geddon deck that I call Windstorm.
4-white knight-always good, especially against black weenie
3-soltari priest-sligh always sucks
3-soltari monk-oh, does that dauthi slayer have to attack?  bye!
2-paladin en-vec-single handedly stops 2 of the most popular decks right now
4-tradewind rider-broken, need I say more?
4-man o' war-greatest blue creature, kills godzilla, and oath of druids decks
2-disenchant-anti-scroll, anti oath, anti-reanimate, anti prosbloom, need I
say more?
1-aura of silence-see above...2nd turn with a mox
2-tithe-mana advantage is good, especially  after armageddon or in combo
with....
3-firestorm-most powerful card right now, hurts suicide black,  sligh, and any
other deck really
4-mana leak-wrath of god is scary...so is cataclysm..living death, and
anything else you might want to counter
4-armageddon-always a power card, especially with a tradewind and 2 creatures
4-mox diamond-1st turn knight or shadow..helps with armageddon
4-undisovered paradise-no need to explain
4-gemstone mine-more colored mana
12 plains-you have to have some plain old white mana...for tithe..I recommend
portal2, or beta if you're really cool!
  Well, this deck is pretty self explanatory.  It won me a local tournament.
The three main cards are tradewind rider, armageddon, and firestorm.  I might
pull the tithes for another firestorm, and another disenchant.   The mana
ratio seems about right.  The armageddon can lock a game after you've
firestormed away his creatures, if he's still alive.  Firestorm always wins
the game against weenie decks...like white or red or especially
black...firestorm, the black knight, the carnophage, the horror, the slayer,
and you for five!  Then armageddon on your turn!   There's plenty for the deck
to do, you basically beat them down with your creatures which almost all have
protection from the top colors right now...tradewind or geddon or firestorm
can each win the game, or combined, they're really awesome.  Mana leak
anything that will hurt you bad, man o war anything too big that slips out, or
tradewind it...disenchant all those nasty cursed scrolls or enchantments that
get out...1 Aura is perfect main deck because there are so many enchantment
and scroll decks, and it slows them down or just acts as a disenchant.  This
deck can handle suicide black, sligh, oath of druids,  godzilla,and
surprisingly prosbloom, I guess because of the auras, disenchants and mana
leaks. With the sideboard it gets better and should be able to handle
everything else.  Well, thanks for listening, good luck with the deck and
other decks, and let me know what you think.
