1  Eternal Formats / Creative / Thoughts on my Trix deck on: January 17, 2005, 12:19:32 am
I knew I wanted to play U/B Trix at waterbury! But I choose to play FCG...grr. The only Trix decks I saw there where all Rector based...any U/B?

So, Intuition or not, or how about Lim-Dul's Vault? I really love that card.

Razz Thanks J.

Now, Intuiton or no? Is my black dig good enough or does it need that extra push. But again, would Intuition go against the reason for having black in their in the first place?

Yea, I was think of that earlyer, I was goign to run boomerang though...

SO what is it? Boomerang or Chain of Vapors?

Actually, that 20 extra life won't last to longaround here, lots of aggro..lots of big smack you in the face turn 2 aggro.


I have nailed down the deck list but I needsome last opnions....

Should I be running Intuitions? I really enjoy this card and it has been loyal to me in the past...

Ha! I never thought of that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Actually, I knew that  on the inside, that is why I do not want to run white at all. I haveseen the Mono Blue and U/B version of these deck run, the U/B is far more succsesful than the Mono Blue.

What I really need is critiqueing on my orgional deck idea, I do have some edits to do though;

I might phase in Intuitions(seach for the Illusions) and/or Boomeranges (To retrive my Donated Illusion back to my hand)

Is it Still U/B and white? Thank you everyone for your imput.

I am still tossing that around, I have seen trix deck whomp ass even with out the Reactors. Even if I do what would I be splashing for? Balance? StP? Seal of Cleansing?

Naw, I am set on the U/B trix. My friend, whos opinion in Mtg I hold to the highest, ran a U/B trix once and had exceptional results with it. The black element for the massive draw with Necro and Bargain combined with Illusions is sick.

I thank you willow for stating an opinion for it, esp. with the mana leak vs counterspell choice,  but I need more feedbakc from some one. I want to keep it U/B but I need help tightening the deck out.

Well, I am gettign sick of playing some form of aggro or combo of decks, so I decided to try out some Trix (XD)

I do have some concerns with the deck and the Metagame here, it is very control and aggro heavy, with me and one other being the only regular combo players, I usually plat FCG or Dragon, my friend usually plays Longdeath or Belcher.

Sideboard
I havent fleshed this out yet, but it will probally contain Powder Kegs for the the Agrro decks, hell, my friends girlfriend has a green stompy that kills on turn 2, BEB and Hydro Blast for the Fish and RDW, mabey T crypt, and finally Chills and Hibernates.

 I am concerned on how well it would perform in the meta here. I know if can't out control my friends Mono Blue control, but it should do well versus the rest since they are all blue and some other color splashed.
