Thank you young moses.... i actually answered my own cquestion about splendid genisis and actually found one for sale and also a fraternal exhaltation for sale as well

thanks!

thanks for the help


but how do i delete this thread as it is just wasting space now?


someone help the newbie


Sorry !!!

meh!!!!



you can close this thread now that you have had your way with me.


i feel degraded.

i think you misunderstand me.... i feel this happens a lot here:

i mean not have full membership but change my thingy to say prodigy... as in an up an coming mana drainer eventually to be full....

not full member status... just the words...

man.... sometimes i feel misunderstood.


I want a cooler thing under my name basic user sounds so dull.

I love the mana drain.... i find it THE most uselful place for T1 decklists and also find it to be the formost in the advancement of the T1 scene on the net...


Therefore i feel obliged to donate money to see it continue to run. BUT there is a problem, i dont have paypal and i was wondering if there was another way to donate I.E. personal check or moeny order and if so how do i go about it and where does it go (address) and to whom should it be made out.

I may have missed this information maybe it is here somewhere so if it is if someone could just direct me there that would be great.

If not if someone could email the info to me that would be greatly appreciated.

Also if i donate do i get to be a prodigy and no longer a basic user. I think that title would be much better .


Please someone help me, thanks zherbus for making the drain what it is!!!



Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but hey it is a start...

-1 teferis response
-3-chain of vapor
-1-library of alexandria  

+ 4 lightning bolt
+ 1 stifle
 
I dont like running chain of vapor, doesnt it seem that this is too much of a conditional card and when it is drawn is only usable 25% of the time at most. Rather than run these or any other card i prefer lightning bolt, efficient removal, or direct damage for one mana. LoA despite being called the p10 doesnt deserve restricted status, drawing loa on turn one is great anything after turn one it is kind of a hinderance and another card that just gets in the way. In my opinion if you are running LoA you have to run MoM in order for it to achieve it's full potential. Stifle is a very powerful card and rather than running teferis response, run another stifle because teferi is sooo conditional, so is stifle, but stifle is A) cheaper and B) more versatile. They both end up being chucked for forces and misdir most of the time anyway and stifle is the better card.

SB: for my meta
4x tormods crypt
4x rack and ruin
well thats a start what decks do you play where you live?

I have been playing with this deck for a couple days now. It's concept is to get a first turn Elf or bird, second turn concordant crossroads, elf or bird, skullclamp, third turn recycle or fastbond or draw w/ clamp until one comes up.

The deck is pretty solid against most decks but it's main problem is speed. With a great draw it can go off turn 2-3 but mostly it goes off on turn 5-6

What i am looking for is some backing: should i scrap the deck? Or is there something i am overlooking to make this deck 2 turns faster, i was thinking about splashing some blue for drawing or black for tutoring but i find it disrupts the foundations of the deck too much...

Black is much easier to splash with quiron elves, elves of deep shadow and BoP.

I know the deck seems a little weak for T1 but it actually plays nice. Consistency is the main falling point right now.

I was thinking of maybe removing some of the mana producers and inserting more drawing agents, but i cant find the right ones to use.

Please help... im stuck!
