1  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / [Discussion] Budget Worse Than Fish on: June 21, 2005, 10:36:14 am
Hi all !

I'm new to this forum and to Vintage.

SO i would build a budget deck and i watched at the results in different tournaments.

Like I'm french i watched to the French Championship and in the best Unpo deck i saw 2 Big Sh*T doing good results.

But when i saw their manabase and draw, i searched another deck for me to take ideas.

I saw then Worse Than Fish, a deck that seems to be really good and maybe buildable in budget.

So here's my decklist :

Manabase

4 Flooded Strand
4 Tundra
4 tropical Island
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
3 Mishra's Factory
2 Island

Creatures

4 Basking Rootwalla
4 Wild Mongrel
4 Meddling Mage
3 Rootwater Thief

Spells

4 Force of Will
3 Daze
4 Aether Vial
4 Standstill
3 Swords to plowshares
3 Chalice of the Void
2 Umezawa's Jitte

My side is inspired by the last reflections on the non-budget build with mystical + tinker + DSC and some Kira, needle, Naturalize//Seal of cleansing and maybe BEB.

Now i explain my choices :

Manabase :

4 Fetch Lands maybe need 1 more ?
8 dual lands
5 Wastelands for mana denial
Only 3 Mishra's Factory because i think that 4 is too many when i start with a hand with 2 manas : waste + factory
2 Island to complete this base

Creatures :

8 big fatty :  basking + Mongrel which can be pumped it's most of times the win solutions
4 meddling mage : i love into vial blocking the opponent
3 rootwater : i don't know for these i hesitate with spiketail hatchling, cloud, gaea's skyfolk .. Give me advices please
2 Ninja : good draw, effect that doesn't broke standstill, maybe 3 needed ?

Spells :

4 force : the better counterspell in budget
3 Daze : i longly hesitate on these but when they're not in my deck i fell nude ... I don't know if it's a good choice however
4 vial + 4 Standstill : the base of the deck , two very good cards with a very good interaction
3 Stp : i add white to Worse Than Fish only for it lol i think it's the best creature removal maybe 4 ??
3 Chalice : Chalice at 0 is amazing VS a powered deck
2 Jitte : for creature removal, boost on my creatures ... 3 is too much but 2 is good

So I wanna your advices concerning this deck and if something hurts you ; let me know.

Thank you and sorry for my English.
