From playtesting, Im seeing this deck really excelling as a new Fish type deck. What could be dropped if Stax phases to smaller numbers in the board and main? Has anyone though of upping the creature count? Also Ray Of Revealation is some hott.

Army Of Allah is savage. Lovin that Middle Eastern heritage. I also see this deck going in two directions. A Skullclamp and Standstill version. I could see the Skullclamp version faster as you want to keep sacrificing creatures and the Standstill more laid back and controlling laying men on with Vial. Then another debate I have is keeping it mono blue or mono white.

Well for the Slaver match up, main deck or sideboard Ground Seal could do well. It is good in the Workshop, Slaver, and Dragon match ups. Also I think Mask should be dropped. Some other cards to consider are Magma Jet and Sylvan Library.

Well even though White Weenie is mostly an awful deck, I think he won just out of the suprise factor and most likely skill too. It does run a crazy engine and Vial , with lots of main deck and sideboard hate. Well I've seen TPS played in some regions like in Michigan and always does well in our weekly top 4's About Sarcatog....It's interesting, could prove some good maybe here.

Claws Of Gix? (think thats the name) Would be better as it costs 0, but then the deck does lose a considerable clock.

That would be the best solution but leave Spiketails. Notice they can always sacrifice to counter a spell, which in case your opponent does cast an Oath Of Druids sucessfully you can use it's effect anyways.

Well one thing I know the guy was wearing a hat. But this tournament was sweet and I can't wait till the next one.

I dont believe it was Noah Wagner either. Isn't he the guy with the black hair? I thought it was the one guy with the hat who made it. So I know for a fact it wasn't Noah Wagner, as Charlie I believe he played the guy

Yea, I definately know Bob did deck checks. I got screwed on my turning it in too early, and I forgot I had 3 Island instead of 2 Island 1 plain so I got a game loss. Was the Tog deck that top'd 8 run Scepters in it? I think the other deck to top 8 was 5/3 or some sort of Workshop deck.

Well I played UW fish as a metagame answer towards combo and Oath. I played verus the one kid from Chicago who played it. It was a pretty balanced out meta. Does anyone have a T8 or deck list breakdown?

I saw at least two Oath Decks and played one. Who was the person who was suppose to put Chris's broken TPS play against Oath.. that was crazy

That was a crazy Tournament. I went 3-2 which was pretty good considering my first tournament. I would of maybe been 4-1 without my misregistered decklist. I am pretty sure the Dragon guy you played in the top four took the Complusion

Your right on that but if Oath becomes ever more popular then it is hyped then may be it might be a good choice. In my WTFr version I run three faeries and I'm always satisfied. Also considering if you need a main deck solution, as it is weakess(I swear I spelt that wrong) creature in the deck then bouncers or something else would be put in that spot. Other then that some solution is needed in the board.

I think Waterfront Bouncer would be a good choice. If you stifle Oath, would it still be destroyed? Also I think if we attack Oath from not being played could be major too. If that is not a good route then we go to  Waterfront Bouncer/ Echoing truth. Also, have you guys been satsified with Cloud Of Faeries. I might go down to two and run one Waterfront Bouncer in my URG build.

I wouldn't add any artifact mana at all unless it is an Mox Sapphire,Ruby,Pearl. I would also try to fit three Null Rods in as they can work wonders for you and your matchup verus stax. A good soloution I found verus Stax and decks like that for me is three Artifact Mutations and two Energy Flux. I would up the Wasteland count and try to fit five fetchs so you can easily access red and green sources.

I'd have to agree on the Mountain issue. I believe that right now in this metagame, verus decks such as TPS, Deathlong, Mono Blue, etc, the Red Fetch is not as great as it is verus Stax, the mirror and WTF/r were a stable yet pernament source of  red is needed to own the board. Yes the red fetch could be useful in the combo matchup to help your Gorilla Shamans, but a blue fetch would be just as or better as you can get mana for stifle etc.  To end my Mountain debate, I really only see it needed in metagames were the mirror and Workshop matches are plentiful.

On a sidenote, has anyone been having trouble verus Mono Blue? Have Back To Basics serverly damaged you?

I actually think an amount of both Red Elemental Blast and Blue Elemental blast are useful. But I would have to agree on Blue Elemental Blast being important as they protect/kill their main threats in the mirror which is major. I've played with an single Mountain when just Wastelands and the mirror were popular this summer, but also for my Goblin Vandals/Gorilla Shamans. I also don't know if it is good verus decks that run Back To Basics as Grim Lavamancer isn't the best verus mono blue. But then Shaman can take out their accel. Have you been having hard matchups verus TPS and Workshop based decks? Did you ever think that a green splash might be needed for River Boa and Artifact Mutations?

How have your matches been? Specially against Workshop based decks?
One-line posts are unacceptable. Verbal warning.

Can't beat this, 9th grade honors english, and US History 1... I want to see how many of you guys pass dat cookie.  Well my goal is to get an MBA and a law degree. Im thinking of going into enviromental law/international law. That with an MBA will let me do basically anything in life. But I first have to complete four years of high school.

How was Maze Of Ith for you? What did you board out for it? Did it ever dilute from your manabase? Would you rather have a boardsweeper (Firestorm) or Maze Of Ith in the Goblin,FCG, RG matches? Have you considered Daze to?

Well Kalamazoo Michigan is by far the best place  to play Type 1! I mean come on look at us Michigan> NE. Also no other place in the world has an Afghan Type 1 Magic player...comon!

Current Decks: WTFr, xx control decks

Power: None yet.....

No wonder, I can see why combo did so well. Also what is the value of thre COmplusion and is it highly tradable?

You know it chris .. keep that on the downlow.. I dont want people find out my true identity.

Does anybody have a top 8 list?

Yea this is going to be crazy fun. Man chris you guys need to hook me up with some testing. I also heard theres alot of smaller players building Ur  Fish

Yea I can help you out during this weekend, give me an im at Uncleo287

I can see we are crazy mofos.. I guess all I can do is test verus every main deck and see.

Thats interesting, does anyone think they can figure out the field for the next oturney?

Thats pretty sweet.. So seeing the michigan field has turned Dragon?!?!

Yeah I heard that Kalamazoo tourneys are really high in Workshop decks so I got worried, I want to see what happens. I hope that didnt end up true. It seems alot of FCG aka red decks and control pop up.
