Deck concept (lorwyn)

[Purple Hat]

This is a concept that I came up with last night as I was falling asleep.  I'm not sure if it's any good but it might be some fun to play.  It's insanely rough right now.  As in over 60 cards, but I don't really have anyone to test with/theorize with on a consistant basis so I'm gonna throw it out there and see if anyone else thinks it looks interesting.

disruption:
4 rootmaze
4 Leyline of the void
4 Chalice of the void
4 Duress
?? Cabal therapy

Creatures:
4 Tarmogoyf
3 Gaddok Teague
4 Dark Confidant
3 Zombie infestation
?? Squee

Other stuff:
4 Bazaar of baghdad
2 Life from the loam

6 moxes, lotus
4-5 fetches
2 wasteland
1 strip mine
2 riftstone portal
4 bayou
2 scrubland


basically the idea here is that root maze is very good at slowing down decks like gat.  Gaddok teague is good vs lots of things, duress is very good right now, tarmagorf is good with bazaar, life from the loam allows you to go for strip lock and to negate the negative CA from bazaar and infestation.

This isn't really new. I made this deck (minus Lorwyn) a while ago... It was called Dawn of the Dead. I'm not too sure how viable it is in a Grow meta, though. Is your only answer to EtW discard spells/ Gaddok? You definitely, definitely need Swords to be competitive. Otherwise, Colossus/ Dryad/ Tog will just run you over.

I also made a new Dawn list, but I chose to get rid of slower elements for more disruption pieces.

4 Dark Confidant
4 Jotun Grunt
4 Gaddock Teeg
3 Aven Mindcensor
3 Glowrider

4 Leyline of the Void
4 Duress
4 Sphere of Resistance
4 Swords to Plowshares

1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Emerald
1 Mox Pearl
1 Black Lotus
1 Lotus Petal

4 Bazaar of Baghdad
4 Mishra's Factory
3 Bloodstained Mire
3 Bayou
3 Scrubland
2 Rifstone Portal
2 Waste
1 Strip

Is that the final list? No, but it was a start for me. I know Life + Bazaar = CA, but the engine is so slow that you could very well be overrun by GAT before you even get your draw engine goin. If I were to put any more thought into this list, I would probably go the route of Lava Owls and do tutors/ crop rotation for silver bullets.

So, I've been thinking about this deck-concept and thought that GT + Chalice @ 1 is a pretty constricting lock.  So I proceeded to add in some Spheres of Resistance, Glowriders, and Mindcensors and this is what a came up with.  It's tempoed alot like MMWA (I actually used a MMWA deck as a ref-point when throwing this together.)  This is a really rough list, but I wanted to throw some ideas out there.

Also, is GT viable in somesort of GWU fish deck with Meddling Mages.  It seems that if you got GT on the board, then used mage to cut off something like Bstorm or Duress you could put the hurt on.

Lastly, the aforementioned points might not make alot of sense.  Work sucked today.  Sorry.

This is a great start.  I've been thinking about decks that could support Gaddok.  Bazaar and Tarmogoyf are a nice couple.  I'm not so sure about Squee in the deck.  It has synergy with Bazaar and ZI, but nothing else really.  In a nutshell, I feel Squee's function is replaced by LftL and ZI only puts out non disruptive guys.  You could maybe add Mindcensor and Grunt onto your list of things to test out.
