Well pretty simple: win with darksteel reactor. It gets hella crazy with doubling season in play.
if you have Coretapper, Reactor(with at least 0 counters), and Season out. and a dismantle. This is what happens: tap sac the core tapper. get 6 counters. dismantle making the reactor get 18!!!!!!!! counters. then next upkeep you win. You can do it in almost any order.
About the tourney: yea if you guys want to start over.. its ok with me.. everyone should get magic workstation.

Why does the deck look so janky? Easy, because I can't afford to buy all the cards I need. Nonetheless, Not one single time ever did I lose a game because I didn't have to right mana base because of duals.
There are many similarities between this and the old R/W Slide, for example- Everything.
I'm going to change the deck to add more Searing meditations and take out 1 red honden for another white. Searing Meditation is friggin rediculous with hondens and angel and all the other life gain cards. This deck plays exactly like slide did.
Funny coincidences- Two main creature kills in slide? An angel and a dragon. Two main creature kills in this? An Angel and a Dragon.
Main non-creature kill in slide? And enchantment that has a triggered ability that deals two damage to a creature or player.
Main Non-creature kills in this? And enchantment that has a triggered ability that deals two damage to a creature or player.
Its scary how close these actually are and once I refine this even more (and take out Forms in the SB for COP: Red [damn you burn deck in round 8!] it will be one of the defining decks of the format)
Believe it or not I did not look on the internet once for specifics of the deck but I did get the idea for R/W control from an article on this site!

Interesting deck Utter....I've been meaning to use Searing Meditations.... but dont know yet how effective they can get...care to provide me your insight based on the experience yove have with it??
The metagame is dominated by Control Decks. The few R/W weenie decks that make it can be crushed without meditations, its actually my easiest matchup. Control decks bend over to meditations. Blue based decks cannot handle it when its on the table.
Your best bet with meditations is firemane angel in the graveyard. Angel doesn't usually live too long once you play it so most of the time you'll be triggering off of that. The sweetest play however is with white honden 4th turn after playing meditations. Quite frankly theres very little they can do after that. Remember its a triggered ability so needle and fetters can't touch it. Because its triggered if you have 2 angels in grave you can activate it twice!! The deck is not based around meditations or angel or lifegain or hondens or creature control but they all come together in the most beautiful package!

Interesting....I had not decided wether or not to incliuuyde it in my WR..but i gusee i willl.... considering it does so nicely.... so far mine was base on creature speed and strenght...and some removal and damage speels... (A couple of shining shoals too)..oh, an Lightning Helix has proven so very effective so far!!
I just heard the funniest thing and I thought I'd spread the word here: Battle of Wits won Texas states.... If this and that sort of R/W is the T2 of the future I think I'll be playing a lot of legacy from now on.
Sorry guys I'm super busy with school some I'm gonna have to drop from the tourny, sorry for the hold up
Yeah i know how you feel casi i had to do the same because of my intense x-ray program classes for college. It sucks that one of my good friends car broke down which hes going to take to the autoshop tommorrow to fix it and so he needs to rent a car so i am going to help him out somewhat by giving him some money for the cost of the car rental. Anyways time for me to take a shower and hit the sack so cya all later.
Well I understand now why it did so well tho... Well I think I do at least. With things like Recollect, Dowsing Shaman, the Dredge spells, the Transmute spells, and the libraryshufflers well it has plenty to deal with actually getting the win conditon and keeping it.... Sounds like a pretty fun deck on second examination. (I'm sure Enduring Ideal and Gifts Ungiven might help too).
Stilll....losing because your opponent counted 201 cards in his library sucks
Specially waiting for him to count them, and then counting them yourself to make sure you really lost!!! Ewwweeeee..NOW THAT SUCKS !!!!
Id rather lose to coalition Victory or the likes of it !!
YEah.... Battle of Wits won the Texas States. Heh.
I went to states! Can't believe it. But Austin was a lot of fun. Met a lot of cool people from all over Texas. Ours was marred by a couple things though. One guy was puking all day and would NOT leave or at least go to the bathroom to puke. From what I hear there are a lot of people that came into contact with him that day that are now puking and boo booing blood. And apparently a couple of my friends that were riding together on the way home got into an accident. *sigh*
battle of wits is pretty awesome although i also find it lots of fun to win with mortal combat one of my personal favorites. Anyways time for me to hit the sack guys so later. And yay the x-ray winter semester for school is more then half way done.
Oh man on the subject of mortal combat. At states like 3 or 4 years ago, one guy laid that down and won with it and jumped up in the middle of the room and screamed MORTAL COMBAT!!! like the movie song style! It was hilarious.

so I've heard. I think that story is everywhere lol.
Mortal Combat though and Dredge...... interesting....
Thanks for giving me the idea blue.... That's the sorta deck I would just love. Might try that in an o-gaming tournament (extended of course) or two...
Secondly, I think we need to rename our clan council... I've gotten two PM's in a week from other clans (or clan representatives) asking how they can get represented in our clan council... Just thought I'd lessen the confusion.
Simple: Get mortal combat out, get the seeker or alchemist out, get orb out. tap and untap until you got 20 creatures in graveyard. Blessing is there so you wont deck out.
I made a cycling version of mortal combat also... post it later...

I understand not that last quip. Do elaborate some more?
Phyrexian, heh. I made a deck that used Aphetto Alchemist and Mesmeric orb but the point was to ... hrm... why DID I do that O_o. I think the point was to trash for treasures an artifact land for a sundering titan or something. The deck was pretty fast because Alchemist could untap artifact lands or Chrome Mox so I had a little mana acceleration and fabricate for tutor.
I guess I could come up with a dredge deck for this... hmmm....

Since it seems to ba word MTG Writers like a lot.... how about Synod?? ...or maybe Senate, so we get to be ARD Senators !!!! LOL...OOOPSS !!! I just went ahead and did it...I overdid the attitude!! LOL

Elaborate I shall, blue. It seems that a few people (mostly newbs from what I can tell by the post counts) think that the ARD clan council has something to do with the global clan council. Easily confusing since they have the same name... Just thought a small name change then a description of what the ARD council does should fix any future confusions that may occur. Man that sounded snobberish.... I hate that....
Oh and if anyone is gonna vote upon the name I propose that everyone should get in on this. After all we council members don't have lifetime appointments exactly.
Oh and another possibly hot Mortal Combat idea: Tunnel Vision.
Edit: Just realized it was a sorcery... Don't think that one will work competetively but casuallly it seems like a fun idea.
well maybe instead of renaming the name "ARD Clan Council" maybe we should just give the individual people titles or something. That way they can all be "Officials".
