1  Eternal Formats / Creative / hmmm... thanks for the help! on: February 25, 2004, 11:40:38 am
Thank you all muchly. So, to clarify... First of all, I'm playing this deck while I raise the cash to buy Power, I joke that it's my "training wheels". I'm not entirely pleased about adding Goblin Charbelchers as a kill instead of the Mesas, mainly because I feel that it takes away from the synergy of the deck.  I haven't tried tournament play at all yet, so I haven't got a frame of reference in that sense. Although, it tends to own against the decks that people actually play at local tournaments. I still get mooshed by aggro though.

Honestly, I think I play this deck too conservatively. I hold back to the point where I'm being pathetic. I did change this, however, and it did a lot better against every deck that my brother, boyfriend, and two friends threw at me. Here's the decklist, revised.

Here we go...

11x Plains
3x Forest
2x Savannah
1x Serra's Sanctum
1x Strip Mine

1x Sol Ring
1x Lotus Petal
1x Mox Diamond
3x Scroll Rack
2x Zuran Orb
1x Tormod's Crypt
1x Jester's Cap

4x Argivian Find
2x Swords to Plowshares
2x Abolish
2x Orim's Chant
1x Enlightened Tutor
1x Abeyance

1x Replenish
1x Balance

4x Land Tax
2x Aura of Silence
1x Sylvan Library
1x City of Solitude
4x Sterling Grove
2x Seal of Cleansing
2x Sacred Mesa
1x Ivory Mask
2x Humility
1x Moat

See what you think of the changes. I know I'm being stubborn about keeping the green, but I've been getting flack for being unoriginal or a snob about my cards. (Mainly because of the large amount of foils and foriegn cards in the deck.) I'm getting sick of telling people that "no, I didn't just copy it off the net." I might build a seperate Enchantress deck, but it will have to wait becuase I have become obsessed with Fruity Pebbles also, and my unlimited budget does need time to replenish itself.
Thanks again!!
luv, navi!

I think I should probably start this post with a bit of background on myself. First and foremost, I'm a girl. Now, normally, I don't think this sort of thing defines me as a person, but it certainly affects me as a player. In many of the games I play, I get attitude from people that ranges from balantant staring at my chest to asking me if I "need the pretty cards read to me." Frankly, it's obnoxious and rude. However, I'll save the rant for another day. What I really need help with is this deck... my first attempt at anything remotely competitive. It's been playtested in a casual environment mostly, but hasn't been doing well. Oddly enough, I don't know whether it's the deck, or the fact that I'm relatively inexperienced. The environment it was tested in ran mostly stompy, some sligh, and an occaisional bastardized keeper. There's little to no Power, though plenty of duals. As for my budget... nearly endless. I was preparing to buy my power anyhow.
So, on to the deck...

Parfait?

4x Land Tax
3x Scroll Rack
2x Zuran Orb
1x Sylvan Library

2x Sacred Mesa
1x Jester's Cap
1x Tormod's Crypt
1x Balance

1x Mox Diamond
1x Sol Ring
1x Lotus Petal

1x Repenish
4x Argivian Find
4x Sterling Grove
1x Enlightened Tutor

11x Plains
5x Forest
2x Savannah
1x Strip Mine
1x Serra's Sanctum

2x Seal of Cleansing
2x Swords to Plowshares
2x Aura of Silence
2x Orim's Chant
2x Abeyance
2x Abolish

60 cards, no sideboard yet.

What do you all think? Suggestions are much appreciated, and will be met with much pleased cooing. (If that doesn't prove that I'm a she, nothing will.) Nothing in this universe bothers supposedly seasoned players more than "Are you done, dearie?"

luv, Navi~!
