Roy isn't really a popular character anywhere, i was just trying to point out that his list appeared to be more solid than that posted previously.

Well i didn't have anything else to add, no offense but it's not like anyone else added much contructive critisism to this thread so i don't think you need to just be scolding me.

Heh, Random-Miser came up with a deck quite some time ago, just for reference this is his..

4 Shahrazad
4 Phyrexian Negator
4 Hippie
4 Shade
4 Hymn
4 Duress
4 swords to plowshares
4 Ritual
3 Tormonds Crypt
1 balance
1 demonic tutor
1 Yawgmoths will
1 Lotus petal
1 Black lotus
1 Mox pearl
1 Mox Jet
1 strip mine
3 wasteland
3 Mishra's factory
4 swamp
3 Polluted Delta
4 Scrubland
2 Caves of Koilos

Negator seems like a nice fit.

Ghitu Encampment dosn't look that hot, i guess it can be nice in combat but does the deck really need to run 10 man lands? Most of the testing i did got along quite well with 8. Also i think even with absense of Drain, Disk is still better because it clears everything. It's also nicer against Chalice.

Hello, for a while i have been searching for workshop decks to play. The only problem is, i'm missing the workshops. After testing different builds of Slax and even Vineyard TnT, they seemed a little inconsistant for more liking. I couldnt find a "budget" list for Stax/MUD decks so i compiled my own and this is what i came up with more or less after trying a few different things. I'll get onto more specifics in a little bit..

The listing:

Lock
4 Sphere of Resistance
4 Smokestack
4 Tangle Wire
3 Winter Orb

Kill
2 Karn, Silver Golem

Card Advantage
4 Grafted Skullcap
1 Memory Jar

Utility
3 Ensnaring Bridge

Abuse
4 Goblin Welder

Mana Sources
4 Metalworker
8 Mountain
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Grim Monolith
1 Mox Pearl
1 Tolarian Academy
1 Mishra's Workshop
3 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
1 Sol Ring
1 Strip Mine
4 Wasteland

SB: Changes daily.

So this is what i have been running to a degree of success, my Meta consists of quite a bit of Aggro, ranging from Sligh to old multi colored aggro (Zoo/Jank/Firearms.dec). Variations of Burning Desire/Long/TPS style decks, Monoblue control, WGD.dec, but most notibly is the absense of Keeper in my meta.

My main concerns as of now is that while Metalworker is explosive basically making this budget deck explode, is that well it dies, a lot. With a lot of aggro sporting cheap removal worker dosn't always become active.

Another thing i was wondering is if Mind's Eye deserves the nod over Grafted Skullcap, it has its obvious benifits but then again im not running as much explosive mana production as other MUD decks can.

Trinisphere, this is the one card that has the hype as of now. I'll say this i havn't done a lot of testing, but i would love to hear others testing with this so far.

Finally my last thought was that should Bridge become powder keg which can remove moxen and harden the lock, against good decks.

Thanks.

I have yet to test this deck, or even play against it and am just wondering how consistant it is. Do you have to aggressivly paris into a Food Chain or what?

The deck is redundant enough, i really do not think this a step in the right direction for dragon an the moment.

The problem with mentioning ABM, is because some people strongly say that it is crap, while others swear by it. Basically resulting in hugh un-constructive arguements.

Thanks for all your help, and once again sorry for posting in the wrong part of the board.

First off, forgive me if this shouldn't be here. Second forgive me for being a whore by asking for a decklist, but i'm in need of finding the old [Budget] RectorLong decklist that was posted on the old forum before restrictions. If anyone remembers what this looked like or may have at one point even tested it with apprentice and have the .dec file, anything it would be a big help. Anways sorry and thanks.
