Night Rider
v1.5

I finally came up with something semi-original to post here
on the Dojo.  This is a little deck idea I came up with after
getting my TradeGeddon deck spanked by a Tradewind/White Weenie
deck.  After looking through his deck, I came to the decision
that a Tradewind/Suicide Black would mix a lot better because
of the most broken T2 card, Dark Ritual.  The more I played with
it, I just found that I might as well make it as fast as possible.
Check this deck out, BUT DON'T LAUGH!  Please read my
explanations :).

2 x Propaganda

Black (10)

White (3)

Red (1)

Artifact (4)
1 x Mox Diamond

Land (20)
2 x Undiscovered Paradise
2 x Reflecting Pool
2 x City of Brass
2 x Gemstone Mine
4 x Forest
4 x Swamp
4 x Island

Sideboard:
3 x Light of Day
2 x Scragnoth
4 x Pyroblast
3 x Chill
1 x Earthquake
2 x Winter Orb

The cool thing about this deck is that it is fast as hell.  This
deck pisses off the opponent by pumping a quick mana producing
and defensive army out.  This deck can get quick Tradewind locks.
Armageddons are great because most of the mana is produced by
non land stuff.  Cursed Scroll help you take advantage of your
empty hand.  The Sarcomancys allow you to get some damage through,
if you are desperate, or you can use Tradewinds to kick the
enchantment back and forth with your hand and pump out tons
of zombie tokens for beat downs or further Tradewind bait.

As far as the sideboard goes, the variety of rainbow land allows
you to play whatever you feel like.  I put in Pyroblasts for counter or
Tradewind decks, Chill for Slegh/Burn, another Earthquake for White
Weenie, Light of Day for Suicide Black, Scragnoths for Counter, and
Winter Orb for Counter.  As if you can't tell already, this deck's big
weakness are counter decks.  The sideboard can really help fix that.

Special thanx to Greg Sivco for his help in improving the deck!

Keep up the good work Dojo!
