1  Eternal Formats / Miscellaneous / Re: The Mountains Win Again on: August 09, 2006, 01:58:27 am
I played The Mountains Win Again in the Vintage master RThomas won, and I piloted the deck to 10th place at 4-1-1 due to an ill-advised draw in round 6, despite me being a T1 newbie. This is the deck I played:

//NAME: Untitled Deck
// Lands
        1 Mountain
        1 Plains
        4 Plateau
        2 Wooded Foothills
        2 Flooded Strand
        1 Bloodstained Mire
        1 Windswept Heath
        4 Wasteland
        1 Strip Mine
        4 Mishra's Factory
// Other Mana
        1 Mox Ruby
        1 Mox Pearl
// Creatures
        4 Goblin Vandal
        2 Gorilla Shaman
        4 Goblin Welder
        2 Hearth Kami
        4 Grim Lavamancer
        1 Genju of the Spires
// Spells
        4 Swords to Plowshares
        3 Lightning Bolt
        1 Disenchant
        2 Seal of Cleansing
        2 Pyrostatic Pillar
        3 Tormod's Crypt
        1 Enlightened Tutor
        4 Magma Jet
// Sideboard
SB:  4 Red Elemental Blast
SB:  3 Pyroblast
SB:  1 Pyrostatic Pillar
SB:  1 Tormod's Crypt
SB:  1 Null Rod
SB:  1 Sacred Ground
SB:  1 Seal of Cleansing
SB:  3 Disenchant

I beat Affinity, Ichorid, and Workshop Aggro, and TMWA's greatest asset is the immense amount of hate. I didn't play Jotun Grunt because I didn't know how to fit in in, and I didn't have the foresight to play Hide instead of Dis-E. Ironically, I found myself fetching for a basic mountain and a basic plains first due to wasteland fear. Pyrostatic Pillar and Genju weren't hot for me, and I don't get the random 1 of Null Rod and Sacred Ground. The only things I don't like about the deck is that it has no way to generate card advantage, it relies on winning attrition wars. Also, the deck doesn't get raped by Kataki or Flux. I like Goblin Welder as a defensive measure because you can weld out an offensive artifact with a mox, and then kill the mox again. T1T beat me with Darksteel Colossus both times because I wasn't playing Hide and I couldn't get STP or Welder out.
