MTG Salvation

Quote from BlackVise

Yawg's Win is awesome if you can protect it or recur it if countered, but for casual play Past in Flames is possibly actually better.

I used to have quite a few more casual decks but they've been taken apart or neutered to build other ones and strengthen my EDH decks.

Oh, and here's the list for my Vintage deck.

It's certainly missing a few things (more P9, better dual lands, Vampiric Tutor), but it works and is great fun to play.

My 4CC Gifts deck is budget and I still haven't worked out the sideboard, but here's the deck in its current form.

4CC GiftsMagic OnlineOCTGN2ApprenticeBuy These Cards

Creatures: 4x Birds of Paradise 1x Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite 1x Knight of the Reliquary 4x Spellstutter Sprite 1x Sphinx of the Steel Wind Artifacts: 1x Engineered Explosives 1x Executioner's Capsule Instants: 1x Darkblast 4x Gifts Ungiven 3x Mana Leak 3x Path to Exile 1x Smother 2x Thirst for Knowledge

Sorceries: 1x Crime//Punishment 1x Life from the Loam 3x Lingering Souls 1x Raven's Crime 1x Serum Visions 1x Unburial Rites 1x Worm Harvest Lands: 1x Academy Ruins 2x City of Brass 1x Creeping Tarpit 1x Forest 1x Ghost Quarter 2x Godless Shrine 1x Hallowed Fountain 1x Island 1x Marsh Flats 1x Murmuring Bosk 1x Plains 1x River of Tears 1x Swamp 1x Terramorphic Expanse 4x Verdant Catacombs 1x Vivid Grove 1x Vivid Marsh 1x Watery Grave 1x Wooded Bastion

The Knight of Reliquary is just in there so that I can use my foil one, though I'll probably replace it and something else with a pair of Kitchen Finks.

As for my Esper control deck, it's just a bunch of Esper cards I threw together when I first started playing.

Nether-Go is an old control deck that works by not running any creatures other than 1-3 Nether Spirit, and then putting it into the graveyard via draw/discard effects. The deck runs a lot of cheap disruption (Duress, Counterspell, Mana Leak etc) and removal so that you can control the game. You then just counter/destroy/bounce everything your opponent drops and beat away with a Nether Spirit that proves very difficult to destroy. Accumulated Knowledge is often in there too.



What's up? If you don't want to talk about it on here feel free to PM me.

They look so awesome and flavorful. I may try building a WB EDH deck with them that aims to just control the board and exile tokens to draw cards. In fact, most of the cards my Divine VS Demonic duel decks aren't in any decks at the moment and there's a decent token subtheme running through them, so I could probably put something together with them. This is sounding really fun now.

Are you going to include all 9 of them?

I just got out of hospital after having a freak allergic reaction, and I'm wondering if it's enough to justify picking up a foil Overwhelming Forces and Yixlid Jailer to pick myself up a bit.

Quote from BlackVise

I know the feeling! I really want to pick up a lot of stuff from this set but just can't afford to at the moment.

Have you guys seen the event deck for Theros? Hallowed Fountain and two Detention Spheres!

where is everybody?!

If you want your name changed back, I know a good global that can help.

Out here not liking the decision to become E.C.

Quote from BlackVise

That's cool. One of my favorite things to do in Magic is to take an already established, high money deck and build a budget version - you generally have to work around a lot of flaws but I feel it's a good exercise in becoming better at both deck building and playing.

Totally unrelated - where is everybody?! We used to be such an active clan as well... Would a Finks contest get everybody more involved? I can run a CDCC, GMAD or card creation contest easily enough if you'll all get involved. I'd actually quite like to do a design-a-format contest at some point, but that seems like it would need a lot of planning.
