Subject: [DECK] "The (Unglued) Deck" Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 10:35:17 PDT From: "Joshua Triplet" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com [DECK] Unglued This deck is basically centered around Mirror, Mirror. The entire point of this deck is: 1. Play land 2. Draw Mirror, Mirror 3. Play Mirror, Mirror 4. Activate Mirror, Mirror 5. Use opponent's deck for a nice 'n easy beatdown :) Mainly, the deck's point is to draw cards. I originally made a "deck yourself" deck for fun, then I realized, "hey, why not add Mirror, Mirror? ahahahaha!" Before long I got a Mirror, Mirror and made the deck. There are 2 versions of this deck. This first one is the one I play with my actual cards: 1 Contempt --draw card! 2 Provoke --untap..draw card! 1 Gaseous Form --creature control 1 Shadow Rift --just another draw card! 1 Double Play --mana 1 Eladamri's Vineyard --mana 1 Rampant Growth --more mana 2 Remove Soul --creature control 1 Zuran Orb --lifegaining (i don't even know why i have this in here) 1 Dismiss --counter..draw card! 3 Double Take --draw cards now...and later too! 3 Sift --hmm...i wonder... :) 1 Reality Anchor --more drawing of cards 1 Skyshroud Ranger --mana man 1 Wall of Blossoms --early defense...draw card! 1 Krokivan Sorcerer --draw card man 2 Bequeathal --oh, boo hoo, my sorcerer died...draw 2 cards! 1 Curiosity --i dunno why i have this i don't attack, but draw card! 1 Overgrowth --yet more mana 1 Brainstorm --draw cards (play rampant growth after if one isn't mirror, mirror to shuffle deck :) ) 1 Well of Knowledge --hmm..mana? no, draw lots of cards with mana!! 1 Mirror, Mirror --need i say more? 1 Fowl Play --creature control 10 Forest --i digress. 10 Island --hmm...i'm thinking about sideboarding these out.. :) (j/k) As you can see, it's not great, but i've only been playing for 2 months, and I don't have that many cards to choose from. Originally it had all cards that had the words "draw" and "card" on them, but i didn't want my deck to have any power after i used my Mirror, Mirror :). I added fast mana to HELP against land destruction decks (still loses), and wall of blossoms for early weenie protection. It's weaknesses are land destruct decks, and anything with counterspells or artifact destruction. I built a version of this deck with Apprentice so i could see how the deck would go if i had every card in the game. Take a look: 4 Dream Cache -draw cards 1 Rampant Growth -mana 4 Brainstorm -draw 4 Sift -draw 4 Wild Growth -mana 1 Eladamri's Vineyard -mana 1 Fastbond -whoa mana baby 1 Time Warp -more time to draw and get mana, or to use that Mirror, Mirror uninterrupted :) 2 Treasure Trove -draw 2 Whispers of the Muse -draw 1 Well of Knowledge -draw 6 Forest -mana 6 Island -mana 2 Wall of Blossoms -early defense 1 Mirror Mirror -key card This deck is a significant improvement over the deck I play in real life. It's only 40 cards, and can draw cards fairly quickly. Both of these decks are relatively easy to play and understand. As for that Fastbond, use it as much as possible if you have the mirror mirror, because you don't need the life :). These decks aren't tourney legal anywhere, but they're fun. I've only been playing for 2 months now, and this is my first deck post, but I think that I did good with this deck. ================================ SSSSS S SSSSS ____S SSSSS U P E R G A M E R a.k.a.
