MTG Salvation

To me, all this says is; Whenever ~ attacks destroy target Wall of Omens.

This guy is incredible. He is currently one of my two targets in my Polymorph deck, I'm trying to fit another one in there somewhere. I play him in the deck mainly because he can be very versatile. Ideally while playing polymorph you use him to blow up an Oblivion Ring that hit your Emrakul, or blow up all their lands turn 3

This National Qualifier's was my first real competitive event, and I loved it! I am definitely going to the PTQ next month. This event was held in Sydney, Australia, and I had trained it up with some friends, the 2 hour journey seemed like 15 minutes. I was playing Polymorh, friends were playing, Naya Allies, Vamps, RbDW, and Jund. In total there were 95 people playing in the event. I went 3-2 and dropped because some of my friends wanted me to draft and I didnt see making top8, maybe some prizes but whatever. My friend playing Jund came 10th, just missing out on top8 with a 5-2 record. In my draft I went 2-1 and had a ton of fun. I definately recommend that you grab some friends and go to these larger type events, they are crazy fun!

Enables a turn 3 standard kill with decent regularity.

Turn 1: Steppe Lynx
Turn 2: Fethcland, Swing with Lynx, cast Nacatl/Lynx 2, swing with first Lynx (opponent at 16)
Turn 3: Crack fetchland, float 3 mana. Cast Devastating Summons at x = 2. Cast Goblin Bushwacker with kicker. Swing for 17 (5 Lynx, 3 Token, 3 Token, 2 Bushwacker, 4 Nacatl)

Obviously countermagic and removal cause problems with this plan, but the blazing speed alone merits consideration.

-ktkenshinx-

yes, because you can get 1 white mana on turn 1 and 3 red on turn 3 in standard. let alone the green for the nacatl on turn 2.

I actually really really like this build.
-ur only way of killing BSA is pulse. is it possible to switch out smother for Terminate?
-can u reliably get BBB for Gatekeeper of Malakir? because this deck seems like it would like it.
-also, if u can get the red easily, maybe put a few BBE in to make vengevine better?

I was thinking about the same kind of build way back when persecutor got spoiled, excpet one of my sac outlets was Ooze Garden :S, now we have momentous fall!

***EDIT*** My post got duplicated somehow, and the first one kinda got cut in half, how do i fix this?

Fix'd. -KP

The old Heat Ray art always made me think it should have been an artifact (flavor wise). Even the flavor text calls it a "device".

yeah, hopefully the new art involves a hedron shooting some eldrazi down

ur only green card is khalni heart expedition and slingbow trap in board..

if u want ur landfall for the crab harrow is a much better card than khalni heart. Harrow is instant speed, an ok topdeck if u want to mill, while the expedition is a VERY bad topdeck late game, and takes longer to do its effect. Overall its more efficient to pay that one extra mana to get harrow.

i thought that vampires had a better matchup against blue white control, like marginally better??

according to ur stats, RDW is best deck?

i feel like creating homebrews netdecking is blah, maybe sumfn in BUG colours?

sure it may cost the same as iona but its two different, one-of, cards. if u plan on castng emrakul u should probally just go eldrazi tribal.

Quote from Umezete

this is intresting, its actually pretty solid if you actually intend to use the spawns for mana. Poor in conventional vampires but abusable with bloodghast and a sac outlet.

heh, i made a deck revolving around saccing bloodghast to oozegarden for getting free bears. and now u get mana each time. its Booze baby.

Quote from onidavin

It could be the very simple play for 8, gets power and toughness equal to swamps in play. 8 swamps to play, 9 when you attack the next turn = 18/18.

8 + 9 = 18???

I personally like the idea of the leech level up, i.e. pay 1 life to level up

2BBB
Vampire Leech
Level up: pay 1 life
Level 1-7: ~ gets +1/+1 for each level counter on it.
Level 8+: ~ gets +2/+2 for each level counter on it.
2/2

my 2 cents.

Quote from TigerDriver91

Agreed. It doesn't look scary at all, unlike Kozilek.

A point to remember, this is the Pre-releaze foil, so the regular card in ROE boosters will have different art !

Actually the art on the full card side is the art that will be in boosters, if u look on the side with the leveler guy it has a pic of the pre-re foil to the left, the art is obviously different, and worse :S. They did this with comet strom last time i believe.

why does it need to say "can not be countered" if it has pro from colored spells? Would Mindbreak trap still hit this?

yeah, I never copy any deck lists. Although coincidence does occue, for eg. I feel like blaying black.. whats good in black?.. hey look a tribe called vampires.. so original
I usually try to go out on a limb and used whacky cards and those that are underrated.
