First of all, thx that at least somebody answer me. I can live with critism. But I did think bevore I posted this deck here.

Anyway. I play this Deck Semipowerd mainly becaue of the reason I do not have any power and there are only 5 Prox allowed. The same stands for Drains.

Humility was a bad choice, I agree. I was also thinking about going to Red with Fire/Ice and a lot of side cards...

I do not think, that I run to less option to imprent in Iso. With Echoing/Counterspell/Swords/Recall or even Hurkyl's.

I totally agree that I have way to less draw in my deck, but with Brainstorm restricted there is a problem, I don't want to use Intuition/AK without fullpower or Drain. I think the best would be Impulse in this case. But as I wrote what to cut?

And I'm sure it was to slow bevore, but the meta is slowing down after the restrictions.



And last I never said this is gonna rule the format, I just asked you guys for some improvment at this Deck. I'm also aware of the fact, that a fullpowered Metalworker or Mono B Aggro is much better

Wow

This surprise me, nobody has at least any comment to the deck?

This really does suprise me, according trough the fact that this deck was played in an other form bevore...

Hy there

First of all, it's not really a keeper, I know but that's the closest way to discribe it.

Anyway it will play with the new restrictions.

I'm not really happy with the build right now, some thoughts about it:

- I'm not Playing the Tendrills Kill because I expect a lot of Controll
- I don't know for what to play wishes, there doesn't seem to be any real target
- I play white over red, mainly because of Swords & Humility
- I do not play Will because it coudln't really bring something with this Mana base.
- I this Deck is Semipowered, just because I do not have the Power and can just prox 5.
- I'm not sure about Mana Leak/Counterspell I'm just scared of Magus...
- I know I have way to less draw in this Deck, I was thinking about Impulse, but what to cut?
- I play Angel over DSC because of first game Ichorid and Confident.

I know it's not a perfect Build but it may gonna go off in this time with no real Meta at the Moment.

I hope for some Impressions from you, and sorry about the many errors, which are may be in the text, but english isn't my mothertongue.

Hey there

I tried a little I can't loose combo. I know it's a little bit old fashion but nice in our meta. (espacially against Ichorid). The Idea of my deck is to cast an Angel an protect him a little bit. So now to my deck:

Manasources: (23)          - This deck needs a lot of Mana
- 4x Undergroundsea
- 3x Island
- 2x Swamp
- 3x Flooded Strand
- 3x Polluted Delta
- 1x LoA
- 1x Black Lotus
- 2x Mox UB
- 1x Mana Crypt
- 1x Sol Ring
- 1x Dark Ritual
- 1x Lotus Petal

Disturb: (14)
- 4x FoW
- 4x Mana Drain
- 3x Duress
- 2x Echoing Truth
- 1x Extripate

Draw/Search (12)
- 4x Brainstorm
- 3x Thirst for Knowledge
- 1x A. Recall
- 3x Dem./Vamp./Myst. Tutor
- 1x Death wish
- 3x Merchant Srcoll

Random (2)
- 1x Y. Will
- 1x Time Walk

Creature & Protection (6)
- 3x Platinum Angel
- 2x Diplomatic Imunity
- 1x Tinker

Sideboard (15)
- 4x Leyline of the Void              - Should be clear
- 3x Energy Flux                        - Should be clear as well
- 2x Extripate                           - I like this card I wish I could run more than one main
- 1x Darkblast                           - Against welder and other nasty 1/1 stuff
- 1x Pithing Needle                   - Also nice to have in the wish toolbox
- 1x Engeniered Explosives         - Same here
- 3x Mystic Remora                   - Nice against TPS/Gush etc. 1. Option they wait and u win. 2. Option u draw into a solution

So that's meanly the deck. I think it will be better than in the past. Because nobody run Diabolic Edict nowadays. It's a clear Control - I can't loose Combodeck.

My Idea is normaly not to tinker an Angel first turn. More to play the Controll role and caste it after an Manadrain. Of course I would always tinker it against an Ichorid. My real Problem is to protect my angel 5 turns. Diplomatic Imunity is nice but sometimes to slow. Because I can't cast it normaly in the same turn.

PS: One Question, I think I can't cast a FoW by removing a blue card with 0 Lives, do I?

Thx for all the answers. But I think this deck. Isn^t as good as I thought first. I tried a lot of things. But it doesn^t work at all. So Counterbalance has to leave. I building up a brainfreeze/Gush Deck at the moment. But it also need some improvemt bevor posted here. Thx anyway for the help.

So I changed the deck a little bit in a more controlish Gush Deck.

Mana: (19)
4x Underground
3x Tropical
3x Flooded Strand
3x Poluted Delta
3x Mox UBG
1x Lotus Petal
1x Black Lotus
1x Mana Crypt

Draw/Search: (17)
4x Merchant Scroll
4x Gush
4x Brain Storm
3x Tutor (Dem/Vamp/Mys)
1x A. Recall
1x Timetwister

Disturb: (15)
4x FoW
4x Counterbalance
4x S. Top
1x Naturalize  // Against Leyline/Needle/Nullrod/Void
1x Echoing truth
1x Chain of Vapor

Rest: (10)
3x Glaciem Chasm  // God Card in this Deck
1x Fastbond
1x Y. Will
1x Regroth
1x Time Walk
1x Brain Freeze   // The cool thing is you can play it in Resp. Against a TPS player
2x DSC + Collosus
 
Side: (14)
3x Engenierd Plague
4x Leyline of the Void
2x Pithing Needle
1x Naturalize
1x Platinum Angel
2x Engenierd Explosiv
1x Echoing Truth

I know it's more or less an other Deck. But works well. There's still one Slot free for my side. And Still god the same Prop. 1 Card to much

Well I see your point with Tog, but I can't say the same for the moxes. Because of the Balance-Lock. I already have enough 0- Manaspells (Also the lands) for it. And Off-Color Moxes can't be used to cast Balance.

So there's a little Top-Deck.

Mana:
4x Underground Sea
2x Swamp
3x Island
2x Polluted Delta
2x Floodet Strand
1x Bloodstained Mire
1x LoA
1x Strip Mine
1x Mana Crypt
1x Mox Saphire
1x Mox Jet
1x Sol Ring
1x Black Lotus
1x Lotus Petal
1x Chrome Mox    // This Card is good to bring out an early Counterbalance

Creas:
4x Bob    // Good Sinergy with Top
4x Trinket Mage
1x DSC / Angel    // One is for the side the other will stay. But I can't decide which one main

Controll-Disturb:
4x FoW
4x Duress
4x Counterbalance
1x Echoing Truth
1x Tormonds Crypt    // Can easily be tutort by Trinket

Draw/Search:
4x Brainstorm
1x A. Recall
1x Frantic Search
3x My.- Vamp.- Dem. Tutor

Rest:
1x Tinker
2x Sensei Top
1x Time Walk
1x Time Twister
1x Y. Will

SD:
4x Leyline
2x Energy Flux
1x Angel / DSC    // It depends what stay's main.
3x Needle    // I'd like to have at least one main. But can't find any Place for it.
2x Darkblast
2x Echoing Truth   // I will probably exchange one for
1x Chain of Vapor   // Against Chalice@2

There's still one Card too much Main, but I really don't know which I should cut. I was also thinking about Gush/SW. But this would be to Risky with Bob.
To the Meta. I live in an nearly Staxxless Area. More GaT, Controll Builds ( As well as stinky Fish ) and Drainslaver and of course Ichorid.

The way this Deck works should be clear. Top-Counterbalance is pretty sweet. Like a Chalice for my Opponent. Without Mana it's at least a Chalice@1. I do not have use the grave this will bring quite a advantige in the gravehate meta right now. And Counterbalance works also with Brainstorm if it has to be.

My bigest Problems are: Chalice@0/1/2 , Null Rod or Needle.


Yeah, I know it needs a little improvment to be on the top of the list, but it ruled most of the MWS games I played at the moment. thx for comments.

May sounds strange. But why not involving one High Tide instead of D. Ritual. I use it in a semipowered Gush Deck. I never have problems to cast the black Mana and High Tide have a very good synergy with Gush/Fastbond. It gives you an amazing amount of blue mana which you can use for Gifts, FoF, Minds Desire, Empty etc.

Hmm. I don^t think I gonna change it. Memory Char is to risky for me. I will check my opponent^s hand before starting a TPS run. And the risk in T1 is to high to run into a Counter. I think I ^ll rather build up a little more Control. I was thinking about daze as a soft Counter. I have absolutly no Idea what to cut for it.

I^ll probably set it in the side.

Hey

I just retourned to Magic as a friend asked me for a small tournement. So I will build a budget Deck which work with my cards I still have and some new. 5 Proxies allowed.

Manabase: (19)
4x Undergroundsea
1x Island
3x Tropical Island
2x floodes Strand
3x Polluted Delta
1x Strip Mine
1x Mox Jet (Prox)
1x Mox Saphire (Prox)
1x Black Lotus (Prox)
1x Lotus Petal
1x Sol Ring

Draw/Search (23)
4x Street W.
4x Brainstorm
1x Gifts ungiven
1x Fact or Fiction
4x Gush
4x Merchant Scroll
1x A. Recall (Prox)
1x Demonic Tutor
1x Vampiric Tutor
1x Mystical Tutor
1x Cunning Wish

Disturb (10)
4x FoW
1x Missdirection
4x Duress
1x Chain of Vapor

Others (8)
1x Time Walk (Prox)
1x Y. Will
1x Regrowth
1x Fastbond
2x Tendrills
1x Tinker
1x D. Collosus

SB (15)
2x Echoing Truth
1x Chain of Vapor
2x Stifle
2x Leyline (U)  // Against Goblins/Dredge
2x Leyline (B)  // Against Dredge
1x H. Recall
1x Whipe Away
2x Darkblast
2x Energy Flux


The way to handle this deck should be clear. A Controll-Combo. I don't put Chalice in because it will disturb myself way to much. Is there anyway to make my deck any stronger (Budge Variants maybe). I mean I also know that imperial Seal would be nice and so on.

The Meta is mostly Dredge/Fish(Any kind of)/Grim Long
But there always also some Staxx or Goblins or even Elves with stroke.

Thx for the help.
