Subject: New Deck (Sneak For Life) Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1998 19:34:19 +0200 From: sipp.leo@t-online.de (Sebastian Leonhardt) To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Hallo, This is my first deck posted to the Dojo and i hope i sent it to the right EMail address :-). I threw this deck together to play apprentice (post-US) against my friend's post-US Oath deck, but it seems to do rather well against other deck styles. Enough, here's the deck: SneakForLife (can't find a better name though) Land 3 Island 3 Mountain 6 Forest 4 Reflecting Pool 4 City of Brass + 4 Mox Diamonds (speed is needed, wouldn't include birds --> oath, but may also be reduced to 2, or substituted by LotusPetals) TheCreatures: 4 Bottle Gnomes \the life gain 4 Spike Feeder /(pump avatar) 4 Serra Avatar (BOMB, also with Oath) TheCombo: 4 Sneak Attack \sneak out Avatar 4 Fling /then Fling (if you didn't know...) TheSupport: (not sure here, the deck isn't fine-tuned yet, so you might add/remove stuff for your own taste) 4 Survival of the Fittest (maybe too many?) 4 Mirri's Guile (see Survival) 4 Portent (really good, shouldn't be removed as is Brainstorm) 4 Brainstorm (i like portent better, but...you need them) OK, that's it. I think you've already figured out how to play this deck. Cast out a SneakAttack as fast as possible and sneak out your Avatar, attack and then Fling it to your opponent. Example: 1st turn: Island, Mox Diamond, Brainstorm, Portent (happens very often, trust me, and play the Brainstorm first :-) 2nd turn: Forest, Spike Feeder (block or attack, then sac) 3rd turn: Mountain, Sneak 4th turn: Avatar (Sneak), attack, Fling if blocked or not enough damage. OK, that's it. I said it's not tuned yet and so, if you have suggestions for the deck or a sideboard...send it to me. I would be very glad.
