I tried bugeting slaver once.....u need volcanics and fetchlands + force of wills at minimum, use mana accelerators that are artifats, and run basics for blood moon distruption, ur chance to win rests on guerilla tactics*

I run a $T4ks deck as of recently (cant beat them join them) and i was wondering about sum of the eurpoean builds with inclusion of sphere of resistance and chalice, and i came up with a more consistent deck list (i think) the list is real tight tho, so it needs sum tweaking, and i need help with building a SB for a general metagame, one that i can take just about anywares.  i prefer the 5color variant bc of more answers but as of late ive sumtimes been 1 or 2 turns stalled waiting to cast a draw7 or welder, while my lock provides time, i was hoping for more smoothness, maybe thats just natural with 5 colors dunno    well here's my list no probs generally, a little bitta trouble casting colored spells sumtimes nothin major.

4x Trinisphere
4x Smokestack
4x Tangle Wire
3x Crucible of Worlds
2x Minisphere (sphere of resistance)
2x Chalice of the Void

4x Goblin Welder
1x Sundering Titan (or Trisk)
1x Karn

1x Ancestral Recall
1x Timetwister
1x Wheel of Fortune
1x Memory Jar
1x Demonic Tutor
1x Vampiric Tutor
1x Tinker
1x Balance

4x City of brass
4x Wasteland
4x Mishra's Workshop
3x Gemstone Mine
1x Tolarian Academy
1x Stripmine
5x Moxen
1x Sol Ring
1x Mana crypt
1x Mana Vault
1x Lotus Petal
1x Black Lotus

the spheres act as trini's in sum opening hands, time walks* essentially
the chalices work fine vs known match ups and randomly for 2 or 1 if uve already resolved a welder, i would however maybe like a 3rd one...maybe

do i have 2 many draw cards? the memory jar im never disapointed in, the others sumtimes i hafta wait a turn or 2 for color enough, always waiting while they're under lock tho    SB help please thanx

I need help building and learning how to use a general sideboard for stax, i run a 5 color variant, i need the sideboard for general metagames, (alittle of everything) and please include suggestions and advice on what to side in and out vs a variety of matches.

off the top of my head decks in my area are FCG, mono blu, budget oath, and sum TPS, and random everything with a budget scrub deck here and there.....thanks


ps (scrub deck isnt a problem)

My psychatog has trouble with oath decks is this natural? or should psychatog be able to defeat oath regularly? im considering main decking sumthing that will help vs turn1 oath of druids play, or should i just mulligan till i get a force? if not is chain of vapors a good main deck call? seems to work well vs alot of decks, even dragon to an extent.  or should i just join the bandwagon and play oath?

yes im all too familiar with the early hulk smash, but im not talking about Nostalgiatog, i want to talk about nowatog, the hulk/atog deck of today's vintage meta, it would seem that oath is the better control deck with control slaver reigning king, which i dont understand, control slaver seems not as much a contender as oath please explain and recent and consistent decklist of these 3 would be greatly apprechiated.

Almost 4got i need a recent Hulk Smash list please, sumthing thats today's meta, also with my testing control slaver seems less consisntent than oath and sucumbs to welder kill 2 easily?

which is the better control deck? and would sumone please provide me with a list to a better Control Slaver? mines in consistent, and Hulk Smash vs Oath, it seems Oath would win but input on this matchup would be great, the only pieces of power i have r Black Lotus, Mox Sapphire, Mox Ruby, and Jet +'s a Recall thanks

is dragon still a viable deck in T1 with control slaver running rampant?  the list i run is currently B/G and runs sumwhat smoothly i needed extra input on sideboarding and stuff...also how fast can a control slaver opponent slave u by?  my friend says that i should play a reianimatorDragon deck as a backup win condition is this wise? or is dragon in its purest form better? help tweak my list please.

need help!!


overall is the list good? i find it to be 3/4 awesome...   75% of the time it wins by turn 3 the 4th time it usually stalls a bit picking up a close victory at around turn 5-7, i heard dragons dosent have to be a fast deck just consistent...input on tweaking is helpul...i dont own any power and its a no proxy enviornment. thanx  

i need a budgetty madness list please thanx....and the dragon list it wins nicely 3/4 the time. is this giid enough odds? i mean 3/4 the time it wins by turn 3 thanks for ur help.

Closed.

how is madness good vs control slaver? dragon can atelast race it....
i need a good dragon list btw or madness whichever runs more smoother
i can afford duals and stuff just nothing at mana drain calibur and up

i recently recieved a playset of Bazaar of Baghdads and i was wondering whats the best T1 deck that can be built using these? i cannot afford power 9, library of alexandria, i was thinking sumthing along the lines of dragon or i once saw an intresting deck [madDragon] the melding of madness and dragon.... i dunno just wondering what the best bazaar deck was and if u could provide a reliable list that would be great.

so far i think the top choices r dragon, madness,  reanimator
i can afford any singels under mana drain lvl and i already have the zaars
and i was wondering if mad dragon was still viable and kicking  thanx

i didnt have the money to go and buy myself a playset of workshops (im only 16)....
but i did have access to all the other stuff so i thought id try a deck using what i had...runs pretty smoothly im debating city of traitors vs. temple
and considering elvish spirit guides too.... i need help with the sideboard and if u know any alterior mana accel that i left off that isnt in complicance to power or workshops.

overall it gets the stuff out, i usually lose quite a bit of life tho....
mainly i need a verdict on temple vs city, and whether ESG's will help
atm i like the consistency.

as u may know i play a budgetish version of oath of druids but recently i tried running mana vault as an additional mana acceleration it worx surprisingly well in turn 2 intuition floating additional mana to cast  accumulated knowledge.....

also i need to get a generalized sb so if anyone could post theres and is vamp tutor really that benificial?
