1  Eternal Formats / Creative / Re: [Deck] Turbo Death - Years In The Making on: March 10, 2008, 03:57:21 pm
Trying to do some constructive comments on the deck (gratz for the nice idea, it's sure it's fun to play Smile):

- why 1x squee ? The deck does not need to abuse of this creature like dragon did in the past, so i think it's a dead slot imho.
- what do you think about adding Street Wraith ? Can make stronger cards like vampiric or imperial seal !
- serum powder ? why don't adding 'em ? Ichorid teach us that mulligan at seven is always nice for the bazaar's researck ^^

Just my 2 cents.

My sideboard was:
4 leyline of the void
3 leyline of singularity
4 pithing needle
2 hurkyl's recall
2 threads of disloialty 

But i'm not sure that is the best side for this deck, I'll try some changes the next time !

The long deck against I played was a sort of  old style long, in fact i never had the possibility to drain a spell cauz it was too fast, the only match I won I had a broken start with a turn one land mox and merchant for fow and a turn 2 tinker for colossus with a time walk in my hand  Very Happy!

The mana base was really solid,i never had color screw problems, even vs artifacts...Instead of adding another blue source i suggest to add a fetch land , beacuse is very nice with crucible and fastbond Very Happy !

If you want, i'll write a little report soon !

I'm thibking about this possible changes (i'm talking about the list with gifts tinker colossus and mystical instead of 4 gush) :
- 4 ak
- 1 intuition
+4 gush
+1 deep analysis

But i think that this way the  match up vs artifacts will be a little worse...

What do you think about this ?

Hi,
I played this deck in a tournament in my town, I finished the tournament 2nd (i won a pretty playset of tundras, wow...!) , I lost the final match vs a pitch long.
I like the deck very much !
During the tournament i defeated a BW hate deck, 2 flash, a Stax and GAT,i lost only vs long during the swiss and in the final.
The deck seemed really solid, but I have to disagree to your optimism about the match up vs long, the 5 match that I played against it where the only ones in which I had really bad problems !
The list that I played runned 1 mistycal tutor, 1 tinker, 1 colossus , 1 gifts instead of the 4 gush.
I like the idea of cutting white for black but with this solution you lose the combo plan that is very interesting in my opinion.
Maybe simply add black and keep a 4 colors combo ?
In fact we run 3 crucible and I think that we'll not have problems of color screw ?
What do you think about it ?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english !

Hi kobefan,

i like the deck very much, it seems really powerful (and also the name is pretty good  Wink) and serum powder helps a lot! 

But , i would to ask you a couple of questions:

- using 8 pacts (4 green and 4 blue) and a lot of cards cc 0 , you dont risk to suffer a lot more that "standard" flash COTVs ?

- did you have some problems with a combo that passes from attack phase like slivers one or you never had this kind of problem ?

- have you tested agains gifts x1 decks ? Do you cobnsider it a good match up for us ?

Thanks for helping and sorry for my bad english.
