Subject: Turbo Pandemonium Date: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 19:33:02 -0700 From: HHH To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com When I saw Pandemonium on the Exodus spoiler, I couldn't believe it. My first deck designs were reanimator style decks. These failed because they were way too slow. Then I thought "How could I speed this up?" and Turbo Pandemonium was born. 4 Pandemonium 4 Phyrexian Dreadnaught 2 Force of Nature 4 Firestorm 4 Lotus Petal 4 Mana Vault 4 Dark Ritual (these last 3 cards made it turbo baby) 4 Living Death 4 Vampiric Tutor 4 Shallow Grave 4 Buried Alive 8 Mountain 8 Swamp 4 Sulfurous Springs The deck is incredibly fast. I got it to win on the second turn once. While 20 mana may seem like too few lands, the Vaults, Dark Rituals, and the Petals make up for it. Ideally, you will want to play the Pandemonium as soon as possible. With a Petal, a land, and a Mana Vault, it can happen first turn. Hopefully, you will either draw a Dreadnaught or a Vampiric Tutor. Tutor for the Dreadnaughts and start dealing damage. This can get you a third turn win. First turn Pand, second turn land and tutor for dreadnaught (or, if u have a Dreadnaught in hand, get a shallow grave), then third turn cast Dreadnaught and then Shallow Grave it. Thats game. Feel free to email me with any thoughts. I haven't thought of a sideboard yet so let me know about that too. SeeYa Hector Torres AKA Slacker leones@primenet.com
