Subject: deck contribution the text file is attached Date: Wed, 2 Sep 1998 23:45:49 EDT From: ROXINMYJOK@aol.com To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Here is an fun experiment in card-disadvantage Hot Garbage: 3 volrath's dungeon 3 ensaring bridge 2 null brooch 2 scalding tongs 2 mox diamond 3 lotus petal 4 incinerate 4 sonic burst 4 shock 1 earthquake 3 sandstone warrior (maybe should be cursed scrolls or more scalding tongs but i dont have any) 4 impulse 2 forbid 2 enlightened tutor 2 city of brass 1 gemstone mine 1 adarkar wastes 3 rootwater depths 2 island 2 cinder marsh 9 mountain 1 swamp Basically its a burn deck. It dumps its hand VERY quickly In the first turn you might play/chuck 4 or more cards (petal,land,mox, discard land+a spell) It keeps creatures at bay with the bridge and burns your opponent away If Volrath's dungeon is out your opponent will think twice about paying five life to get rid of it because of all the burn you can draw I'm not sure about using cursed scroll in this deck because it is so mana-intensive. Since there is so much one-time mana, lotus petals and Mox Diamond (the land dump), after a few turns you can find yourself with very little reusable mana on the board. The mana is best spent ridding yourself of cards then doing 2 points of damage. More than 1 scroll would be a big waste. I choose Sandstone warrior because of its good defense and pumpable offense The bane of this deck is artifact removal Null brooch and forbids help a little Try the deck and tell me how you like it I'm Esteban Rodriguez roxinmyjok@aol.com
