So there i am, driving home from my girlfriends house and i see a stuffed frog hanging in the window of the local general store.  Immedietely i think of frogmite, suprise suprise.  


Recently i've wanted to play some type2.  IT just seems that whenever someone wants to play type 2 i don't have a deck, or something, So i have a half built affinity in my binder.  

Being the cautious and safe driver that i am, use my knees to steady the wheel and reach back for my binder.   Sure enough, staring back at me are the starting cards to affinity t2.  

Ornithopter.  type 2 card with a type 1 pictured version.  Uh oh, type 1 has just sucked me back in and thrown ideas into my head.  

Mana production without the mana?  

Concept already thought about, it must have been.   Lets see here...


0 casting costs

ornithopter
welding jar
phyrexian walker
shield sphere
tormod's crypt
urza's bauble
moxen
lotus petal
The lovely lotus itself

Card Discussions:


Ornithopter and Phyrexian Walker

0 mana  blockers/gamer "speederuppers".  the 3 toughness on the walker is fantastic too.


Artifact mana producers.

Petal, crypt, vault and ring.  0 or 1 casting cost makes these things great.  With the use of these and the 0 casting cost synergetic goodness the deck can throw down artifacts faster than metalworker ~ haha.


Frogmite, Myr Enforcer, Broodstar

All beasts in this deck.  Type 1 or type 2 they are huge.  


Tormod's Crypt, Cursed Totem, Gate to Phyrexia

MY maindeck answers to the top decks right now.  Crypt eats dragon, cursed totem laughs at metalworker and goblin welder, and gate to phyrexia eats up artifacts faster than smokestacks eats up everything else.


Duress

Running black cards?  Run this hoser.  


Dispersal Shield and Assert Authority are the primary counters of this deck.  Counterpsell counters a card only to merely put it in the graveyard as opposed to assert authority.  And dispersal shield is virtually unstoppable in early and late game with a quick frogmite and a late broodstar, not to forget the 7 cc enforcer.  


Future Sight

beyond broken in all affinity decks.


Thoughtcast

Not powered, remember?  Great draw engine.  



Sideboard.


Planar Void, Stifle, BEB, such beatsticks against the respective decks are huge.      

Suggestions boys and girls?
