I am considering running 2-3 mainboard Masticore in my stax deck, is this the worst idea ever or..?

The reason for this is that for some reason sligh decks have gotten a comeback where i play, and with a meta game that is most fish, landstill, sligh, and some Welder decks isent Stax an okay deck choice? Couldent masticore be a big help in these matches?

Anyway, here is the deck list i would run:
2 Masticore
1 Sundering Titan
4 Goblin Welder
4 Smokestack
4 Tangle Wire
4 Trinisphere
4 Crucible of Worlds
2 Sphere of Recistance/Chalice of Void
1 Ancestral Recall
4 Thirst of Knowledge
1 Tinker
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Black Lotus
1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Sol Ring
1 Flooded Strand
4 Shivan Reef
4 Volcanic Island
4 Mishra's Workshop
1 Strip Mine
1 Tolarian Academy
4 Wasteland


Sorry for my spelling mistakes:)

Hi there,

I am missing som Stax decks lists to compare my own deck with. I have seen Kenny öenberg's  (sorry if i misspelled you) deck list, but he only ran one Crucible main, and new what he might face in the top eight.

Well take a look, and give my some comments pls.

Staxx//:
3 Sphere of Resistance
4 Trinisphere
4 Tangle Wire
4 Smokestack
3 Crucible of Worlds
Creatures:
4 Goblin Welder
1 Sundering Titan
1 Karn, Silver Golem
Draw:
4 Thirst of Knowledge
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Tinker
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Memory Jar
Mana:
7 SoloCryptMoxen
1 Black Lotus
1 Mana Vault
4 Volcanic Island
1 Floodedstrand
4 Shivan Reef
4 Mishra's Workshop
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
1 Tolarian Academy

I belive that Crucible of Worlds relly is a strong card in the deck, either to protect your workshops, or to screw your opponent with wastelands. But 3 might be one to many...

Hope to see some replies:)

I would also say that Stax is a very bad matchup for Hulk, and gay fish dosen't have an easy game either..or..?

I have been thinking of a deck for some time now, and i finally tried to make... I wanted the power from Bazaar, hoping it would help me beat landstill and gay fish. And i wanted to keep the power from TnT, hoping the workshop could power op my main Chalice so that i can beat Food Chain Goblins.

I have only played the deck a few times, and i know i have to do something about the mana base, but could the deck work?

Deck//

Mana:
4 Bazaar of Baghdad
4 Mishras Workshop
4 Forest
1 Mountain
1 Taiga
4 Wooded Foothills
2 Karplusan Forest
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mana Vault
1 Mana Crypt

Creatures:
4 Squee, Goblin Nabob
4 Baskling Rootwalla
4 Arrogant Wurm
4 Goblin Welder
4 Juggernaut
3 Su-Chi
1 Sundering Titan
1 Duplicant
1 Anger

3 Survival of the Fittest

Hate stuff:
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Null Rod   (I see alo of Landstill and some Slaver)

As i said before, the idea is to beat Gay Fish, Landstill, Food Chain Goblins (i know that chalice wont do it all, but..), and Slaver +Random.dec

Should I just give op, or is it possible to build this deck?
Give me your ideas, thx:)

-Lasse

I will soon be playing at a "large" tournement. I know what the meta game is... almost... but i have problems finding the right deck, so i hope somebody here will help me

The meta game out of 70 decks:

5 Sligh
6 Slavery
4 Hulk Smash

The reason why I have not thosen a deck is because i havent had time to test it yet, and i don't have time to test em' all, så I have to do my testings with the right deck..

I hope somebody can help me out here, i know this isen't the best way to choose a deck, but because of my school, i don't have alot of time right now;)

I am playing TnT at a tournament soon, and i am having som problems finding out if i should play 4 Chalice/Blood Moon, or Pillar. I really like the deck as it is now, but maybe i should get the 4 Moons into MD, i think my meta game is pretty "normal" probarly more non powered decks than decks with power, and Landstill i popular at the moment, and there are always some Keeper decks, what should i play?

I have added Bosh, Iron Golem to my deck, it is always nice to have a big guy to block, and to go in for the kill, but it is probarly just a stupid idea i have there, what should i play insted?

I just read an artikel on magicthegathering.com about restrictions and bannings, and abput the workshop they say:
"We considered re-restricting Mishra’s Workshop now that Mirrodin has introduced so many more powerful artifacts into the environment, but eventually decided there just wasn’t enough evidence yet to support putting the Workshop back on the Restricted List. We will definitely be keeping our eyes on Workshop decks in the future."

Will it be restricted once again?
