Subject: Te/St/Ex Deck Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1998 15:42:28 -0400 From: Ian Ferguson To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com While everyone is brushing up on sealed strategies for PTQ Chicago, I though that I would look into the format for PTQ Rome. Since it is Te/St/Ex, and seeing that there were very few decks to look at, I will make my own. 4 Erratic Portal - To bounce WoB, and Weaver. Also saves creatures from an untimely death. After a tradewind lock has been established it can bounce their creatures. 4 Mox Diamond - As it is a 3 color deck it needs these to get the right mana. 1 Mirri, Cat Warrior - A great card if the have forests, also it can handle paladin en-vec 3 Spike Weaver - Stops opponents onslaught, works great with erratic portal. 4 Wall of Blossoms - Same as the weaver. 4 Counterspell - Stops combos, and saves creatures. 4 Mana Leak - Same as counterspell, also works well with a tradewind out. 2 Equalibrium - Wow, all my creatures are man-'o-wars 3 Tradewind Rider - To lock down my opponent. 1 Cloudchaser Eagle - To kill pandemonium, and other stuff. Only 1 due to the 2 equalibrium 4 Soul Warden - Very strong in this deck! 7 Forest - Land 9 Island - Land 2 Plains - Land 4 Thalakos Lowlands - Land 4 Vec Townships - Land Sideboard ---------- 3 Interdict - Should I make these disenchants? 4 Scragnoth - vs. Counterspells and tradewinds. 4 Chill - very strong with a tradewind lock. 4 Light of Day - very strong since all enchantment removal is green or white! The deck uses soul warden to gain life, WoB to draw cards and stop creatures. When tradewind comes out bounce all the land, and portal the creatures. The weaver can also be used to make big creatures, and stop combat. I hope to take this to the PTQ's so LMK. -- Ian Ferguson http://www.microwizard.com/ian/magic
