Welcome! to the 7th thread of this humble clan: The Alliance of Rogue Deckers Come on in, we'll give you shelter from the storm....
Let's see now, after a long period of being a comatose husk of a clan, ARD is experiencing an overhaul... and is finally gets a new thread and also welcomes new and returning members. We are also currently looking for any new members.
So: Do you hate net-decks? Do you want a Revolution? Well we all want to change the world... here at ARD, we strongly disagree with the current state of magic, where everyone copies the tier 1 deck. This seriously stifles any creativity in deck making today. So if you value creativity you should definitely join this clan.
To Join: Just post a decklist that isn't a net-deck.
To Become A Friend:
Just ask; no decklist required, but it would be nice.

And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

I have a Solidarity Deck with a splash of 5 green duals for Quirion Dryad in the sideboard... (because the opponent usually boards out creature hate in game 2 so you board in creatures.)
Lets see: next week I have my guitar recital. I'm going to play Pink Floyd's Wish You Where Here with another person...
one thing about the new member policy: I know we are supposed to have a council... but I think that is really unneccessary because we already let anyone who asks to join... and the only reason we have a council is to decide on member admission matters... so if admitt anyone who asks, whats the point? right?
I'd say if they post a decklist and don't have any outstanding warrants for murder, we can let them join...

Well everything on the banned and restricted list for Vintage is banned in Legacy... otherwise its the format that has almost all the cards of magic and isn't seasonal, like T2 or Extended. Its very good for casual play because of the big card pool...
Plus vintage is broken because of teh Power 9.
Not that legacy isn't that broken...
I wanted to ask what people's music tastes are... lets see if I can dig up that old post I had...
EDIT: here we go:
These are the artists I listen to:
The Beatles, Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, The Sex Pistols, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, ACDC, Guns and Roses, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Queen, Children of Bodom, Motley Crue, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, The Eagles, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, Pearl Jam, Queens of the Stone Age, The Ramones, The Clash, Nirvana, U2, The Who, John Lennon, Grateful Dead, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke, Daftpunk, OutKast, Eminem, Dr.Dre
Mostly I prefer: The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles...
I normally listen to a nice mix of music, but lately it's been Gogol Bordello, a gypsy punk band. It's very different from what one would expect. I listen to most of the bands you listen to also Phyrexian. And to correct you legacy/vintage, it can be restricted in vintage and legal in lecay. Trinisphere, Mystical Tutor, I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them.
Eh, a new thread!
...
There's no combo decks in standard at the moment, so I'm not playing. It really sucks. Bleh. I'm NOT running D-Storm. And Profusion got glocked by the removal of Early Harvest.
Lorwyn is such a ****** block when looked at from the johnny side of things, all the combos are fragile creatures which means none of it is in the least competitive. [Except for D-Storm, which WILL NEVER DIE.]

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
I listen to all kinds of music. Mostly rock, metal and weird Al though. My dad has so many cds. It is crazy.
Thanks for telling me the difference between vintage and legacy. Trinisphere costs a bit too much to be broken in my opinion, so it is good it isn't banned. I guess it just would be evil with black lotus or dark ritual though.
That reminds me of a deck I made in mirrodin. I can't remember what the decklist was, but I used the coolest combo ever in it. play Leveler then I Stifle its ability.
EDIT: Oh my gosh! Dark ritual is legal in legacy. Dark ritual is soooooooooooooooooo broken.
Draw 7 (7 cards in hand) Play Swamp (6 in hand) Rit (5 in hand) Duress/Thoughtseize/Therapy (4 in hand) (opponent has 6, now) Hymn (3 in your hand, 4 in opponents')
Only advantage in this is that your opponent didn't choose what to get rid of. Card advantage is actually a real thing, guys.
Trinisphere in Legacy is somewhat useful- I've popped it out while playing Mono Black Control against Solidarity and Burn- it can be helpful till they blow it up.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Ok. Maybe it isn't broken, but it is really good! that quick of mana acceleration is extremely powerful. If you can play more than one in the same turn, you get something that costs 6 on turn one. How about null profusion? I just think it is insanity. Although that might cause a lot of land problems. But that can be fixed with dark confidant. Maybe a spellbook if it is not working well. although force of will would cause a lot of problems.
Whenever= triggered effect. I'm pretty sure it doesn't trigger itself, but then again, I haven't touched a card in quite awhile.
Tossing something that costs six mana on turn one requires three Rituals. I'd rather toss the one and Hymn you, then Extirpate the win condition I so luckily snagged with my Hymn.
Or, assuming you went first and dropped Lackey or some crap like that, a kill spell and something else.

I'm pretty sure you don't draw a card. Because Null Profusion is on the stack when you play it. So it is not really in play yet for the effects to work.
Foolycooly7777: just post a decklist of a non-tier 1 or net deck and you will probably be in. Post alot also...
EDIT: also how should we accept new members? or is it the whoever asks is in policy? And who wants to be the Clan Rep for the Council....?
Speaking of which... I guess we could start joining the contests again...

And he declareth, let ARD rise again! And lo, Phyrexian spun a thread to be filled with worthy information and jolly banter.
I would volunteer for council, but I don't know. Im not really a "responsbile" type, in the sense I tend to forget a lot.
Lord of Obscurity, your calculations are incorrect. If you play more than one Dark Ritual on turn one, assuming you have only one land, you will be getting 3-1+3-1+3-1+3=9 mana, which is You see, tap land, play rit, BBB, use one to play rit, BBBBB, nother rit BBBBBBB and finally that fourth rit BBBBBBBB.
On another note. I think Merfolk + Profusion might be fun. Merrow Reejerey with cheap merfolk can power out a lot of these little dudes fast. All you need is a land that produces 2 mana each tap...... which is not present at this point. Bot lo, Fertile Ground is legal...... but green, which is a third color in a deck that wants to be playing heavy blue.
One last card to consider with Null Profusion is Spellweaver Volute. It doubles up every spell you play, netting you two each time you play a spell. Now stock up on those instants and sorceries in a deck and you're good to go. Heck, if you really want to go for teh nuts draw, slap on a Spellshift for teh insane nuts draws.
Editzorz: Cloud Key and little artifacts love Null Profusion. Try it out with epochrasites, Soultether Golem and Phyrexian Iron-foot.
Coming to Phyrexians question about music tastes, mostly metal (all forms) but I tend to dabble in other genres a bit, mostly 90s dance music and harder styles. Next to taht, I enjoy Daft Punk a lot, mostly because the originality in their songs without sounding extremely weird or farfetched.
I absolutely detest any form of rap and R&B. Sorry, but I find the picture that is mostly sketched with this music to be disgusting and my gut tells me that it instigates bad behaviour in youth. I wont say metal is all kissy-kissy goo-goo, but at least there is respect without the "attitude". Sigh, sorry fans of rap and R&B, you can try to tell me otherwise, but the signals that say otherwise are far outnumbered by those that confirm this point for me.
sorry for comepletely messing up with null profusion. Lorwyn has been annoying me some. Tribal sets don't have much combos, exept for the tribal ones. No one has posted a deck here yet so time for a standard legal combo deck.
The deck uses packmaster to give my changlings and my tundra wolves deathtouch. Valor gives all of my creatures first strike. So I get an army of first strike deathtouchers. Wolf tribal!! What do you think about it?

So yeah... I think Im up to date here now Well I don't really like mainstream rap stuff either... although sometimes I listen to it because the lyrics are hilarious. Especially that recent one... Soulja Boy.
R&B is different. Elvis was an R&B singer, so was James Brown... Sam Cooke... Marvin Gaye... Jerry Lee Lewis... They influenced alot of artists later on... like The Yardbirds or The Stones... and none of them encouraged delinquency... (although James Brown did support Nixon...)
lord of obscurity: I'd say you need a way to deal with mass removal and flyers... Also consider using mana accel like Birds(wait is that still t2??) or Llanowar Elves.
Now I say again: not so fimiliar with standard... but any good deck should have a way to deal with it...
AOK: obviously I wouldnt force you to do it if you are busy enough...
Allin: I'm okay with you being the Rep... You just need to be active... which I trust you are.
Lets see: just go to the Clan Council and tell them that you are the new Clan Rep for Clan ARD...
And whenever they discuss new Clan Contests or whatever keep us posted...really not as hard as it seems.
oooh I really like Cloud Key... maybe that and 2 sensei's divining tops and a brain freeze...
EDIT: sorry I meant go to the Clan HQ... otherwise its fine... I guess I should change my sig...
Speaking of which perhaps all members should have a link to this thread in their sig...
the deck works by getting slivers out and essentially comboing through your deck with profusion and dormant until you just storm them out.
The deck is consistent with tutoring and a general engine in homing sliver
it needs tweaking especialyl the mana base, but it looks like it can be tuned into a contendor, it has insane synergy and a great tutorable engine
the general equation with gemhide/basal out and dormant/profusin is -0/-1 mana for +1 card and +1 storm, however this gneral equation ges better if you get the engine enablers in multiples, and its really easy to go nuts.
some cards for consideration are footbottom feast, which essentially turns all of your already spent slivers into double the current storm.
Its a work in progress but its incredibly promising
i like it:
As for the manabase, probaby 4 Gemstone Mines and various painlands... too bad you want it T2 because some older Stronghold cards will also be good...
Also probably more blue draw cards like Ponder and the like... and something to stop all the counters... I don't know what though...
Otherwise if anyone doesnt have any objections, Foolycooly probably can join here... I'll add you to the list...

Since teh combo is totally creature based: Thorn of Amethyst looks like a good choice vs counters.
Other then that, Root Sliver would've been nice vs counters, or even Quick Sliver if you ventured out of the realm of T2.
Ignite Memories is a card I would not consider for a storm deck. It is just too inconsistent and players have been known to just rip apart their own hand. In fact, you lose to Oona's Prowler. Go with either a higher focus on a hasty poison kill or storm with Grapeshot.
I'm not sure Null Profusion adds much here. All you need is a Dormant Sliver out and you can go for the game. Moreso, i think the black stretches the deck out of proportion when it comes to mana, so I would lose that color altogether and make the UGR and then mostly concentrate on 1 mana slivers, as the deck is supposed too. Consider the scenario when your opponent counters your null profusion... that is a whole turn wasted in which you couldve won beating down with the slivers for posoin counters. But I think I'm butchering your creation right now and gonna stop right there.
BECAUSE... i just hit inspiration for my own sliver combo deck: Merrow/Sliver: What do Hivestone, merrow Rejeerey and Gemhide Sliver have in common? Thats right, infinite mana. With using Dormant Sliver and Firewake Sliver in conjuction with one mana merfolk and slivers and perhaps some changelings or changeling spells, this could be quite interesting. More on this one later.
EDit: of course I forgot to mention some kinks. My slivers need to become merfolk. Hmmmm, or my rejeerey needs to start liking slivers instead of merrow. Conundrum. This will require some solving.

R&B is different. Elvis was an R&B singer, so was James Brown... Sam Cooke... Marvin Gaye... Jerry Lee Lewis... They influenced alot of artists later on... like The Yardbirds or The Stones... and none of them encouraged delinquency... (although James Brown did support Nixon...)
lord of obscurity: I'd say you need a way to deal with mass removal and flyers... Also consider using mana accel like Birds(wait is that still t2??) or Llanowar Elves.
Now I say again: not so fimiliar with standard... but any good deck should have a way to deal with it...
AOK: obviously I wouldnt force you to do it if you are busy enough...
Allin: I'm okay with you being the Rep... You just need to be active... which I trust you are.
Lets see: just go to the Clan Council and tell them that you are the new Clan Rep for Clan ARD...
And whenever they discuss new Clan Contests or whatever keep us posted...really not as hard as it seems.
oooh I really like Cloud Key... maybe that and 2 sensei's divining tops and a brain freeze...
EDIT: sorry I meant go to the Clan HQ... otherwise its fine... I guess I should change my sig...
Speaking of which perhaps all members should have a link to this thread in their sig...
it goldfishes a turn 5 kill on average, but the mana base is stil a mess
4 dormant sliver
4 gemhide sliver
4 virulent sliver
4 basal sliver
4 homing sliver
4 screeching sliver
4 firewake sliver
4 null profusion
4 ignite memories
2 summoner's pact
the deck works by getting slivers out and essentially comboing through your deck with profusion and dormant until you just storm them out.
The deck is consistent with tutoring and a general engine in homing sliver
it needs tweaking especialyl the mana base, but it looks like it can be tuned into a contendor, it has insane synergy and a great tutorable engine
the general equation with gemhide/basal out and dormant/profusin is -0/-1 mana for +1 card and +1 storm, however this gneral equation ges better if you get the engine enablers in multiples, and its really easy to go nuts.
some cards for consideration are footbottom feast, which essentially turns all of your already spent slivers into double the current storm.
Its a work in progress but its incredibly promising
As for the manabase, probaby 4 Gemstone Mines and various painlands... too bad you want it T2 because some older Stronghold cards will also be good...
Also probably more blue draw cards like Ponder and the like... and something to stop all the counters... I don't know what though...
Otherwise if anyone doesnt have any objections, Foolycooly probably can join here... I'll add you to the list...
Other then that, Root Sliver would've been nice vs counters, or even Quick Sliver if you ventured out of the realm of T2.
Ignite Memories is a card I would not consider for a storm deck. It is just too inconsistent and players have been known to just rip apart their own hand. In fact, you lose to Oona's Prowler. Go with either a higher focus on a hasty poison kill or storm with Grapeshot.
I'm not sure Null Profusion adds much here. All you need is a Dormant Sliver out and you can go for the game. Moreso, i think the black stretches the deck out of proportion when it comes to mana, so I would lose that color altogether and make the UGR and then mostly concentrate on 1 mana slivers, as the deck is supposed too. Consider the scenario when your opponent counters your null profusion... that is a whole turn wasted in which you couldve won beating down with the slivers for posoin counters. But I think I'm butchering your creation right now and gonna stop right there.
BECAUSE... i just hit inspiration for my own sliver combo deck: Merrow/Sliver: What do Hivestone, merrow Rejeerey and Gemhide Sliver have in common? Thats right, infinite mana. With using Dormant Sliver and Firewake Sliver in conjuction with one mana merfolk and slivers and perhaps some changelings or changeling spells, this could be quite interesting. More on this one later.
EDit: of course I forgot to mention some kinks. My slivers need to become merfolk. Hmmmm, or my rejeerey needs to start liking slivers instead of merrow. Conundrum. This will require some solving.
@Mer Sliver: Intresting idea
I just want one of our decks to own DragonStorm and become tier 1 cause...well that be awsome^^!
