Well, since Mr. O'Brian wanted to see a non 5 color Cataclysm deck and since I
had this deck idea floating around, I decided to build a deck based around the
card.  Here goes nothing:

"Cataclysmic Beatdown"

Creatures (20)

4 Soltari Priest
4 Soul Warden
3 White Knight
3 Warrior en-Kor
2 Soltari Champion
2 Soltari Visionary
2 Soltari Monk

Spells (18)

4 Tithe
4 Cataclysm
3 Firestorm
3 Mana Leak
2 Disenchant
2 Firestorm

Mana (22)

3 Mox Diamond
4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
11 Plains

Total: 60 cards

Sideboard

4 Pyroblast
3 Phyrexian Furnace
3 Light of Day
2 Aura of Silence
3 assorted cards

As you can see, I'm still unsure about the sideboard.  Obviously, Godzilla
decks, control/bounce decks, and fast black decks are all decks to be prepared
for.  Please e-mail me with suggestions for the sideboard.

The main deck is obviously a white weenie deck.  Don't play too many weenies
at once, however.  2 on the board at a time is usually enough.  Also, the deck
only needs about 4 mana to survive.  Once you have 4 mana on the table, you
should stop playing lands.  Use the Cataclysms like Armageddons or as a Wrath
of God.  Tithes help retrive extra land to rebuild and help fuel the Mox
Diamonds and Firestorms (by the way, Firestorm is an awesome cards vs. suicide
black).  Soltari Visionaries help vs. those pesky Propagandas.  Soul Wardens
are great against bouncy blue as well as suicide black (where those few extra
life points really count).  Let me know what you think of the deck.  I think
it performs very well.
