Picking Golgari doesn't mean that you have to actually BUILD a Golgari deck. If the strength of your other 5 packs dictate that you play Selesnya.. then thats what you build.
I don't know what ended up winning the midnight prerelease since I left at about 10am as they were starting top 8.. I know that out of 160+ people that we had I finished 11th with Golgari splashing red for the rakdos keyrune and Rakdos Return My only losses came in rounds 6(rakdos.. I punted game 3) and 7(4 color guy that I named "Mr Bombs-alot") of an 8 round swiss.. I think I was actually the only Golgari in the top 16.. Don't qoute me on that though.. I do know that going into round 6 I was the only undefeated Golgari.
pay X life to deal X damage to all creatures(red)
pay X life to give all creatures -X/-X until end of turn(black)
pay X life to give a creature +X/+X until end of turn(white)
etc
Ok.. After scanning this thread.. I have noticed people talking about the different universes and how it would affect the other.. How about this.. put both Max Level Superman vs Max Level Goku on a neutral universe.. Obviously still with the yellow sun.
I have always been a Superman fan through all of his incarnations and I have also been a fan of the Dragonball series(though there are some incarnations of it that I have not seen all of) and I would still have to give the win to Superman although it would be one hell of an epic fight.
avacyn is better than stormtide leviathan, and since you don't intend to hard cast anyways... i would suggest two temporal masteries, rewind is terrible... other than taht you might want to consider index and contagion clasp...
I dunno about the clasp. 4 is a bit expensive for just proliferate.
I think it might be possible atleast while Djinn is still in.
Basically what you do is get Djinn into play and then wish Omni or even one of the fatties into play. Ponder's to set up the wishes. The proliferate spells to add wish counters.
The untap step is like mana abilities, you can't respond to mana abilities, and you can't respond to anything in the untap step. I don't believe any cards reference the untap step anyways.
Actually there are.. Although they are mainly just "skip untap step" or "only X untaps during the untap step"
This is the version I currently have built.. I am thinking about dropping the leaks and the ponders for 4 Forbidden Alchemy and 2 more gambits. Basically you dont care about your opponent and just play the deck as if you were fishing lol.
I went with UG for the speed and also the obvious Thragtusk interaction. You can even use Deadeye+visionary for more draw power.
The pool is very short in removal, sadly. However, I think the UG deck may be quite OK.
I would probably go GW instead of UG.. but thats just me. Roaring Primadox combos good with Attended Knight and Griffin Protector for a healthy air assault not to mention Serra Angel is a great evasive creature. Blue really doesnt have much besides Primadox and Archeomancer to keep recurring either Sleep or Mind Sculpt
