1  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / [Article] Meandeck's Angels: A Primer on Meandeck Oath on: November 07, 2004, 04:06:57 pm
Thanks for the reply Saucemaster, once I started testing it I came to the same conclusion, in fact, my LoA hasn't been useful since I got it, it could just be my metagame though.
One card I included that I haven't seen discussed, (maybe I just missed it), was crop rotation.  Since it is all about the orchards or waste, crop rotation seems like it'd be a great include.

I was curious as to why the ommision of LoA?  I didn't see it explained, seems like it would be a decent fit, especially in control mirrors and also acts as a waste target instead of orchards.

up for discussion

Choices
I wanted to build fish but I wanted to be able to utilize back to basics and standstill, and possibly chalice thus this is what came out.
Tradewind Rider:  This was the main reason I wanted to make the deck, I've always been a Tradewind fan but I realized if I wanted to make the deck halfway competitive, thus I needed the mana accel of the moxen and drains.  I thought it would work wonders with standstill too.
Spiketail Hatchling:  Pretty solid first turn with a mox, land also works with tradewind
Cloud of Faeries:  Free creature, synergistic with tradewind
Ophidian (vs. Curiosity):  Ophidian is a creature, making him tappable (sp?) and doing almost the same thing as curiosity.
Standstill: Like I said, this is a fish hybrid, beside the spikes and clouds, if you have an active tradewind down it might as well read draw 3 cards.
Mana Leak: Solid counter with the solomoxen

I think most other cards in here are self explanatory

Cards I'd like to think of adding
Powder keg (the deck doesn't have alot to deal with welder besides the T-wind or force)
chalice of the void- so strong but I just couldn't find things I wanted to drop for it
Stasis! - the old prison player in me has always loved this card, wouldn't be terrible with a tradewind down.
I'm also a little sketchy on the manabase, the lack of impulse could make UU hard to come up with
Any comments would be appreciated
