[Deck] Workshop Beatdown

[yespuhyren]

Here's the deck I'm toying with right now.

 

// Lands
4  Mishra's Workshop
4  Mishra's Factory (4)
1  Strip Mine
4  Wasteland
2  City of Traitors
1  Tolarian Academy
4  Ancient Tomb
2  Rishadan Port

// Creatures
4  Juggernaut
4  Su-Chi
4  Synod Centurion
2  Duplicant
3  Razormane Masticore
2  Karn, Silver Golem
3  Alpha Myr
1  Platinum Angel

// Spells
1  Mana Crypt
4  Trinisphere
1  Mox Emerald
1  Mana Vault
1  Mox Sapphire
1  Black Lotus
1  Sol Ring
1  Mox Pearl
1  Mox Ruby
1  Mox Jet
2  Sword of Fire and Ice

// Sideboard
SB: 2  Duplicant
SB: 3  Eon Hub
SB: 3  Defense Grid
SB: 2  Crucible of Worlds
SB: 2  Triskelion
SB: 2  Jester's Cap
SB: 1  Forcefield

The point is basically to kill your opponent before they can really do anything. Unless you have a turn 1 trinisphere, you usually want to drop a creature turn 1 or 2, and if the hand can't play a fattie by turn 2, usually you just ship it back

Choices

Juggs - FAT
Su-CHI - MORE FAT
Synod Centurion - EVEN MORE FAT

Razormane Masticore - FAT, and great against oath. If you shoot their Akroma or Spirit of the Night, then attack, blocking the razormane will kill their creature too. If they don't block it, and they block another creature, you still dealt them 5 damage. IF you kill their creatures, they will also have to spend an extra turn oathing to refill graveyard.

The card is also very powerful against food chain goblins, as it can ping off any goblin a turn, and block piledrivers and survive. Very Very Very strong card in general.

Duplicant - 2 maindeck as they are very strong, and are useful against most decks, ESPECIALLY oath. I've seen lots of oath in our metagame, and thats why i'm hating it soooooo much. 2 more in the board to compliment the oath matchup

Karn - Blows shit up...and FAT
Alpha Myr - I know, I know, there are 2 reasons i'm playing these guys

1) Quick beats, and almost a guaranteed first turn drop as any land + mox, or city of traitors, ancient tomb, or shop will cast it on its own. SOOO easy to drop first turn

2) I needed another quick beater, and almost everything in the deck that can be foil is foil. I had 3 open spots for beaters, and conveniently had 3 foil alpha myr.

Sword of fire and ice - Card advantage, burn, +2/+2, this card is sooo strong. Also protects my creatures from burn, bouncing, and welding.

Trinisphere - Anyone who decides to ask WHY is probably already wearing a dunce cap as we speak.

Platinum Angel - GOOOOOD card, and its foil, of course

SB CHOICES

Duplicant - to compliment the other 2
Triskelion - Anti welders, and other weenies
Eon Hub - Good against STAX, Oath, and Energy Flux
Defense Grid - Good against any control deck
Jester's Cap - Good against Oath, Combo, and others
Crucible of Worlds - Good against landstill, and any other decks where land recursion is strong against them or necessary to survive

and last

Forcefield - This is against Razvan, Mattuizo, and any other guys who might be smashing with creatures that are very very big and casted with workshops  

Oh yeah, and like most of my deck, its good against oath

I have been testing this extensively over MWS, and it has been doing extremely well. I haven't lost very many matches, and I will start posting what I play, and the game score.

SO FAR:

Meandeck Oath (uses akroma and spirit of the night )- 8-3
Oath with colossus ( 2-1 ) THANK GOD FOR DUPLICANTS  
Sneak attack...SADLY....1-2
Some guy piloting Lam Phan's Deck - 2-1
Control Slaver - 3-4
STAX - 2-1
U/G/R fish 1-2
Belcher - 2-1
TPS - 0-2
Doomsday - 1-2
4cC - 2-1 (once again, duplicant took the win here, eating an angel)
5c Dragon - 2-0, on a side note, played a very nice guy on MWS, an old TMD user, and I believe fellow Canadian, goes by the name MarkPharoah

I will keep updating this as testing goes on. I will also be posting a report for this whenever I can find a tournament to play in.

If anyone has suggestions or would like to help test the deck, add me to MSN or PM me

Why is there 3 different topics with this in it?

[yespuhyren]

Computer was doing some CRAAAZY stuff.  The mod's fixed it (sorry again about that )

[Disburden]

My first suggestion would to be get rid of the alpha myrs. I know you want a first turn critter on garantee but you're only running two, and also theres no advantage/ ability with running this 2/1 that costs you 2 colorless. Since you run 5 strips, I would be running crucible instead, hands down.

Also what are your reasons for running mono-brown? I've ran a similar build in the past (MUD ,etc), just for the sake of being mono-brown and the results just weren't as good without the goblin welders along with wheel of fortune. So why dont you use them yourself?

[yespuhyren]

this deck had red, but the welders were almost useless, as I had no discard outlets except for wheel and jar, and the two weren't enough.  Red was mainly for SB, and I chose to cut red so I could play ancient tombs and city of traitors for more speed

[Nantuko Rice]

How do you feel about blue for card draw?

How about maindeck crucibles for the crucible lock?

Have you tried those?

[yespuhyren]

Here is the changes that have been made so far

-2 karn
+2 crucible
-3 alpha myr
+2 platinum angel
+1 sword of fire and ice
