Subject: Updated decks and new ideas Date: Sun, 28 Dec 1997 18:32:01 -0200 From: Julio Nobrega Newsgroups: TheDojo.strategy Slight ( For everyone that read Slight analysis in The Dojo and liked, try to make a slight decks with Meditates for the final blow) Updated type 2 deck. After several playtesting, I've found that this is the best version so far I can get from my Mono Blue, and even at the Dojo is a Tradewind deck, i made it now without, since I believe Tradewind is for Quirion Ranger and Stuff... 3 Floodgate 3 Thalakos Seer 4 CounterSpell 4 PowerSink (Should I replace with Dissipate, Dismiss, Disrupt, or a blended selection of those counters?) I've never encountered any problems with the Power Sink, like not have all the availeble mana, but Dismiss is so damn cool that i may add 2 of these) 2 Vodalian Ilusionist 4 Mind Stone 1 Capsize (Great, great card, but I prefer Whisper of The muse since fit better in my play style) 2 Whispers of The muse 4 Ophidian 4 Man'o'War 2 Suq'Ata Firewalker 1 Meditate (I believe, I believe that is the Tempest potential card wich is everyone ignoring...) 2 Rainbow Efreet 4 QuickSand 18 Islands Playing this deck, you will see how much card advantage mixed with quality is a devasting concept, as in the 1-5 turns you draw from Ophidian, no buybak Whispers, and Mind Stones, and later how much you keep drawing is amazing! I am also trying to do a Green deck for Extend, using Erham, Bounty, Naf's Asp (Hey, did you ever drop down those at the first turn and damaged you opponent? Amazing how those litlle beasties still can inflict damage), also in the deck Mtenda Lions (it's a Savanah, dammit!) Rogue Elephants, Elvish Fury, and the surprise, the final blow, something wich I believe all you forgot, Primal Order, I did not see one single deck with this card, and looks like everyone is not prepared to face it... Today I also tought in a combo deck using Enduring renewal and Recycle, give me a call if any of you already tried.... And how to break Scroll Rack and Zur's Weirding, and also a good deck with Eladamri's Vinyard, something with Capsize and Whisper's of the Muse, share your toughts in this deck 'cause have potential to be tournament viable... Thanks, Mishra
