That seems like a really interesting and annoying deck.
But it'd take me forever to get the cards since we can't trade cards and getting boosters quickly requires winning often, something I'm having trouble with.
It would be impossible for me to list what I have since it's like 1-2x of 250ish cards. Which sets (from the ones we use) would be more beneficial to my mono-black zombie deck?
Either Onslaught, Legions, Torment, or Scourge would be best for a monoblack Zombie deck.
Hello all fellow BWG players. I have been on Magic vacation for far too long. So last Friday I threw together Funkbrew with some new favorites and did pretty well with it.
gasfish: that is a fine looking list you got there. Darkblasts are awesome but seemingly growing more and more useless. I replaced them with Thoughtseize which have won me games. Here's my report, please ask me any questions.
Tourney Report May 16, 08
Round 1 **BYE** Oh yeah,
1-0
Round 2 UB Affinity
Game 1: Let’s just say he didn’t know what Tarmogoyf did so it wasn’t a great Affinity deck. His first time at a tourney.
Game 2: Same deal 2-0
2-0
Round 3 Dragon Stompy
Game 1: It was pretty even throughout most of the game until he dropped a Magus of the Moon and I didn’t see it coming. He had a chalice at 1 so Swords was no good either. I did a poor job of fetching basics so that was inferiority on my play skill.
Game 2: I was able to get a plains and swamp out so I could fend off his Moon tricks. He played a Chalice that was vindicated and a deed on the board for extra power while I beat him down with Snakes and Kittys.
Game 3: He mulled to six, I mulled to four. He was stuck with two lands and couldn’t operate anything. I beat with a very weak Tarmo and a snake for a bit. He dropped SSG with chalice protection at one. I swung with my 1/2 goyf and snake played a StP when he declared blockers made goyf a 2/3 and then won. 2-1
3-0
Round 4 UW Fish
Game 1: I thoughtseized him twice in a row getting rid of his meat spells. Then vindicated and Plowed his critters. Proceeded to beat with 3 Snakes.
Game 2: Pretty even, back and forth until I dropped a Deed with 2 Snakes on board. Deeded and kept the snakes in play. Dropped a Kitty and attacked ftw. 2-0
4-0
Round 5 UW Landstill (thefreakaccident)
Game 1: Thoughtseized his counter, second dropped Teeg against a hand full of 2 Wraths, Engineered Explosives and a Humility. Proceeded to beat down with a Tarmo.
Game 2: Back and forth until he got a Humility out. I wished for a Vindicate, he played a Standtill. I played through it and popped standstill, he drew 3 land. 2-0
5-0 (but I split with thefreakaccident because we are on the same team and all)
So basically I didn’t have to board against anyone or worry too much about any certain matchup. It was a great tournament for my return after about 4 months of no Magic. I know that the report is brief but I just said the main critical events. After Talking to my team I’m going to replace Grave-Shell Scarab in the board with Vexing Shusher instead. They are both for the same situation but Shusher is less mana intensive than Scarab so new list for reference is this:
In this kind of deck you have to run Trinisphere. It is sooo good in LD decks. I would say drop the acid moss. Also, I wouldn't call it Mono Green if it has black in there too :p.
Hey hey, what is wrong with you? We just played and you said I concede to you 2-1. Don't swindle me out of this. I thought these games were suppose to be for fun? Not a cutthroat tournament.
I'm sorry - and I know that this post is not going to be productive - but did you just give yourself credit for Hulk Flash and then make this statement?
If I do remember correctly, Mike did in fact invent Hulk Flash, and what he meant was taht others took credit and used it to boost their own egos.
Enough of this KEvin didn't deserve to win crap. It was a ballot, he was nominated, there were no automated ballot machines made in FLorida, so get over it and accept that hes the Legacy Strategist of the year. Congrats to Kevin.
I'll post my Pimp Funkbrew when I get the foil Confidants which will be pretty soon.
Well that's how the forums used to be bladewing but the mods put Proven Competitive available to any deck thoroughly tested with some success. The Top Tier is in the seperate part of Proven Competitive. I can see no reason for complaint here. It is much better than it used to be.
Those lists look great Mike. I can really tell you put a lot of work into those decks. My favorite is the San Diego Fires because Mangler is simply awesome. That sucks for Sam lol! a wimpy sea drake against a 10/3 mangler is bad news for him lol. WHy only two though? They seem really good in that sense.
You ned to run a few basic plains if you want to run 4 Flagstones. 4 Scrublands aint enough white to fetch for. I would try Thoughtseize instead of Ritual but if money is an issue, I guess not.
Either Onslaught, Legions, Torment, or Scourge would be best for a monoblack Zombie deck.
