1  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / [Deck Discussion] Oolong Tea on: October 10, 2004, 10:14:35 pm
Quote from: CaptainPlanet.dec
Right now in the Newbie forums I'm working on Pentecost.dec, a similar idea. I Oath into a Eternal Witness, return Will, play artifact mana, Grim Monolith, Power Artifact, Cunning Wish for Kaverack's Tourch...


C. wish for kaervek's torch?

2  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / Shuffling the Opponent's Deck: Serious Discussion on: September 30, 2004, 11:28:02 am
from my experiences...

asking your opponent to riffle shuffle seems like a good idea.  pile shuffling is also always a good option.

worrying about players that are offended by shuffling their deck is ridiculus.  players should understand that sufficient randomization is important to keeping everyone playing a fair game.

i've been testing this for some time now.

creatures (20)
4 - grim lavamancer
4 - skyshroud elite
4 - kird ape
3 - gorilla shaman
3 - call of the herd
2 - river boa

util (10)
3 - rancor
3 - artifact mutation
4 - rootmaze

burn (6)
4 - lightning bolt
2 - incinerate

land (24)
2 - mountain
3 - forest
4 - treetop village
2 - moxen
4 - wooded foothills
4 - taiga
5 - strips

SB
2 - tormod's crypt
3 - bloodmoon
3 - null rod
3 - naturalize
4 - red blast

the creature base seems pretty solid right now.  i tried troll ascetic and found it was harder than i thought to get the 2xG sources without wanting to activate a treetop.  the regeneration and islandwalk isn't that big of a factor with riverboa anymore but i haven't found anything to better suit the slot, wild dogs?

rootmaze is key against dragon, slaver, and long.  it seems to slow 4CC down enough to make a large impact as well.  the 3x artifact mutations maindeck are probably the best part about playing this deck.  chalice and powder keg are both pretty crusher against aggro for obvious reason and this seems like the only obvious answer.  you may even get to mutate a colossus once in awhile (11 bugs evens the game up a little)  rancor goes without saying.  6x burn spells seems to be the right number right now also, the incinerates may even need to be fire/ice.
i really think this deck is underrated

any other thoughts?
