The Riptide Recall looks really good.

The altered Merchant Scroll is simply amazing. Very good work indeed.

Waoh, I'm not a premium member but since the comments on this article rate it as excellent and since Meandeck Gifts is one of my favorite decks ever, I'm definitely considering premium membership.

I just can't wait to read it (I'm particulary excited about the gifts piles detailed in the article).

ps : sorry for my poor English.

The flashback cost is a bit pricey, but may we have a weird combo deck using Locket of Yesterdays ?

(Locket of Yesterdays
1
Artifact 
Uncommon
Spells you play cost 1 less to play for each card that has the same name as that spell in your graveyard.)

Hi guys,

I'm a French vintage player (bad player, I must precise) living in Paris, France.

I started to play Magic when I was 14 (the english Revised Edition was just out). I played for two years before quitting. I restarted to play again two years ago (I'm 24 now). I began more interested in Vintage in particular, and since I have acquired most of Type 1 staple cards. I'm just lacking Grim Tutors right now.

I played only at a few sanctionned tournaments but never made great results (guess you have to play on a regular basis to get good, which it is not my case  Very Happy ). I splitted one time for a Workshop at a local tournament, which is my best result so far.

Besides cards, I'm working as a business intelligence consultant (dunno if it is the same term for the US, sorry if it is not) which is pretty much a specialized computer science domain. I'm also a big jazz fan, whether it is "old school" or recent. I also have a passion for the rock band Radiohead (UK not OK!). I'm practicing squash and thai boxing as sports.

My favourite decks are Mana Drain decks, including various builds of Control Slaver and Gifts.

So that's all, so farewell et vive la France ! (and sorry for my bad English !)

What amazes me is that you play white and Balance is nowhere to be seen.
if I had to play 1 maindeck white card in a creatureless deck (well, more or less), it would be Balance.

Just a note: you can play Gifts without Red for Recoup. I once tried Gifts with white for 1 Salvagers as win condition and 3 Cunning Wishes (Shallow Grave in the SB, think of this Gifts pile: Lotus, Salvagers, Wish, Will). I worked pretty well actually, earning me a T4 after beating the crap out of everybody in the Swiss.
If you look at the list pointed by stichadou, you will see that Paul was playing a maindeck Balance. His list was in fact a Keeperesque Tog, I think it could be improved by removing some togs and adding the Tinker-BigMan stuff.

Ok sorry.  Smile

I always thought SoloMoxen meant the five "real" Moxen  + Chrome Mox + Mox Diamond.

I guess the "Sol" prefix is there for something...  Very Happy
9  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / New Fact or fiction/Intuition! Kamigawa hot off the press! on: September 09, 2004, 04:12:17 am
Good, but stricly inferior to Intuition or Fact or Fiction IMHO.

I don't like the fact to choose four different cards, it is sooo restrictive.
10  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / [Deck] TPS on: September 09, 2004, 04:06:13 am
Is your card list is correct ?

I saw SoloMoxen (7 cards) plus Mox Diamond just below...

Maybe it's me.
