All proxies must follow these guidelines:

Please do not use the back of a magic card for a proxie!

There are two types of acceptable proxies. The first and most basic is taking a basic land card and writing the details of the card on it. The second method is to take a card that shares some of the characteristics with the card that is being proxied and erase any characteristics that do not match, replacing them with the correct characteristics.

All proxies must have the following text neatly printed, using a extra fine point sharpie. Ball point pens may not be used:
• The full name of the card (no abbreviations or nicknames)
• Correct casting cost of the card including all colored mana symbols
• All relevant/game effecting text

When choosing what card to use as the base for an erased proxy players must follow these rules:
• The mana cost of the base spell must be the same as the card being proxied.
• The type of the card being proxied must be the same as the base card.
• The P/T of a creature being proxied must be the same as the base creature P/T
• When proxying a creature it may be difficult to find a creature where all characteristics match. In this case, mana cost is the most important, followed by the P/T, followed by the subtype. Any characteristics that do not match must be erased and corrected.
• The art box, card name, and text box must be totally erased. White out may not be used for this as it affects the stiffness of the card and may mark it.
• When adding text to the card do not use a ball point pen. A extra fine point sharpie is the best thing to use. A ball point pen can cause indentations on the card marking it.
• For clarity reasons, the use of cards with the new card frame is strongly encouraged

The SSG's were way better than a mountains or lotus petal for sure. If I were to play this deck again I'd go less Tin-street Hooligan and more Frogtosser Banneret and Ringleader.

h3x, did you test Demonic Consultation?

[StanleyAugust]

Sneak Attack!?

[hvndr3d y34r h3x]

Sneak Attack!?

It was basically the blood moon legacy list. I really hate to say it and be "that guy" about it, but it seemed like the guy just got really lucky all day. It's vintage, these things happen.

@ duck, I had issues making black for non creature spells. Had it been castable I would have been all over it.

So by the Blood Moon Legacy list do you mean my list from SCG Madison? Who played that?

[hvndr3d y34r h3x]

Yeah pretty close except for instead of show and tell he had the "put a dude into play with haste for a turn" super high cc red spell. He said he was afraid of duplicates or something like that with show and tell. He added power+crypt+mama vault. It was some guy I haven't seen befor, at least not for a while. Seemed like a nice enough dude.

My Sneak Attack deck was as follows:

4 Griselbrand
4 Emrakul
4 Sneak Attack
4 Through the Breach
2 Intuition
1 Wheel of Fortune
4 Magus of the Moon
1 Ancestral Recall
3 Blood Moon
1 Trinisphere
1 Time Walk
3 Simian Spirit Guide
5 Mox
1 Mana Crypt
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Vault
1 Black Lotus
1 Lotus Petal
3 City of Traitors
4 Ancient Tomb
4 Scalding Tarn
2 Polluted Delta
3 Volcanic Island
1 Island
1 Mountain

SB
3 Woodfall Primus
4 Leyline of Sanctity
4 City in a Bottle
1 Shattering Spree
3 Ingot Chewer

I mulliganed aggressively, and it paid off.  Most games were started with a turn one Moon, which was usually devastating.  Griselbrand was amazing... once I had to draw 21 cards off him to grab the Emrakul to finish the game.  I decided to go through the breach over show and tell... mainly because I usually want to get a turn one moon out there... and show and tell is often impossible to cast at that point.  I was also a bit scared of what my opponent would drop on me... I would prefer my guys to have haste.

My Sneak Attack deck was as follows:

Awesome deck man. Thanks for sharing!
