Type 4 Stack Lists and Resources

[VGB]

I've got more than a passing interest in T4, and would like to build a stack.

So far the only concrete list I have is this one featured on Wizards courtesy of Smmenen.

What I would like is:

1) People to list or link stacks they play and find workable.
2) Cards unique to T4 that help things along, and
3) List cards that are borderline unplayable, or flat out too disgusting (barring the typical X spells and abilities, of course).

If there is already some uber-T4 resource and this is a severe case of hia (headinass) on my part, well, 'scuse me.

[Nibble]

I don't feel like typing up our whole stack (though I might at some point, to see what we might add), but I can give you a few notables from it. Well, notable meaning interesting ones I don't remember seeing in the article or discussed somewhere.

Volrath's Stronghold (sooo good)
Mind's Eye (about as broken as Whispers)
Fevered Convulsions
Crosis, the Purger (possibly, he's borderline not-too-useful)
Tsabo's Decree (and we pretend the Legend creature type still exists)
Hymn of Rebirth
Lightning Greaves
Rain of Rust
Tidal Kraken (and we were also considering Thorn Elemental and Rhox)
Legacy Weapon
Ashen Powder
Child of Gaea
Reya Dawnbringer
Winds of Rath

I think 5D came out after the article, so just for reference, here are the major ones we added from it:
Bringer of the White Dawn
Bringer of the Blue Dawn
Bringer of the Black Dawn
Beacon of Immortality
Beacon of Unrest

I also don't know what everyone else runs for graveyard control, but we've got Coffin Purge, Cremate, and Ebony Charm. Side effect of this is, Charm becomes one of the favored ways to kill people.

As for stuff that's completely broken, we don't run any library stackers (Flash of Insight, and that enchantment I can't remember right now). Legacy Weapon feels borderline to me, but it hasn't been too terrible. Mind's Eye is pretty sick, but usually makes the controller a big target, so it's alright. We haven't added CoK stuff yet, so I can't comment on Graverobber or black Myojin. Volrath's Stronghold may seem pretty weak, but it's proven to be a major nuisance on more than one occasion. (play Quanar, oh it's countered?, upkeep Stronghold, draw Quanar, play Quanar, oh it got killed?, upkeep Stronghold, draw Quanar, play Quanar...)  It's still worse than Genesis, I guess, but sometimes it's actually harder to remove the Stronghold.

Oh yeah, and we recently added Chimeric Coils. Yes, it's an X effect, but hey, it's essentially like Door - it takes a turn before it can do anything, and it can kill at most one person without some form of recursion. It's actually fairer, in a sense, because it can be blocked (and doesn't trample), can be hit by all artifact removal AND all creature removal, and the removal can be a lot nastier if you go crazy with the X (Backlash, Agonizing Demise, Spinal Embrace, Grab the Reins...)

Thanks, guys  

As for stuff that's completely broken, we don't run any library stackers (Flash of Insight, and that enchantment I can't remember right now). Legacy Weapon feels borderline to me, but it hasn't been too terrible. Mind's Eye is pretty sick, but usually makes the controller a big target, so it's alright. We haven't added CoK stuff yet, so I can't comment on Graverobber or black Myojin. Volrath's Stronghold may seem pretty weak, but it's proven to be a major nuisance on more than one occasion. (play Quanar, oh it's countered?, upkeep Stronghold, draw Quanar, play Quanar, oh it got killed?, upkeep Stronghold, draw Quanar, play Quanar...)  It's still worse than Genesis, I guess, but sometimes it's actually harder to remove the Stronghold.

That blue enchantment would be Soothsaying - and I agree, it and Flash of Insight are pretty disgusting - at least Aladdin's Lamp takes a turn to set up.

Nezumi Graverobber requires crap in the graveyard, but the fact that it's a walking Tormod's Crypt for all players that turns into a Chainer seems pretty brutal - but since it doesn't actually win the game on the spot it seems like a reasonable card in theory, and not necessarily any worse than, say, Glarecaster.

I guess it speaks for the power of cantrips in T4, since that one stack has Headstone in it; that almost made me laugh.  

<j_orlove> there is actually a good way to play 2 person T4
<j_orlove> shuffle up the stack some
<j_orlove> each grab some chunk
<j_orlove> then start playing
<j_orlove> the games go really fast with just 2 people
<j_orlove> and you can mix up the cards after each game
<j_orlove> it works with >2 people too
<j_orlove> it's T4 when you're in a hurry

[Jacob Orlove]

Okay people, now that there's a list typed up, just copy it into notepad and edit it to reflect what you play.

As an aside: burn and lifegain effects are pretty good if the numbers are big enough. The white and red beacons, in particular, are very strong.

Graverobber is much, much stronger than glarecaster. He's a late game card, but he'll *just win* almost all the time.

[thorme]

I also really like Mindslicer - nice political critter in multiplayer, without being broken at all.

[moonkhan]

Here's a link to my current type 4 pool (286 cards):

http://www.moonkhan.org/mtg/current_type4.txt

I should finish the stack sometime soon (missing Forcefield, Illusionary Mask, Timmy, Johnny, and some other rares). All in all the power level feels high. We don't use firebreather's but we're using Myojin of Night's Reach and Cabal Conditioning.

Aside from the usual suspects here are some cards we consider powerful in my play group:

Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang is hot.

Armistice is a great political enchantment. It's one of my personal favorites.

Reweave is powerful. It turns cool enchantments like Dawn of the Dead into cooler enchantments like Holistic Wisdom! It's also a great way to resolve game_winning_critter when you arrange your library with Flash of Insight, Aladdin's Lamp, Soothsaying, etc. It can also remove indestructibles.

With the current wave of indestructibles (myojins, DSC, Konda) Innocent Blood and Second Thoughts have proven very useful. I consider Second Thoughts a very high pick overall.

Re: Headstone - great call! It's going in as soon as I find one ... Graveyard removal is key. I'm looking for other cantrips like that because I don't want to put in Withered Wretch.

Cards that aren't making the grade:
Crater Hellion - morph-killer but that's about it
Disturbed Burial - Sorcery, too slow
Godo, Bandit Warlord - cool with Vigilance creatures but the only Equipment we use is Tatsumasa
Jugan, the Rising Star - being a cool-looking dragon isn't enough to make it into a type 4 pool
Kodama of the North Tree - sadly he hasn't proven to be strong enough to waste a main phase casting
Kuro, Pitlord - why when Smokespew does more for less?
Living Death - really this and Twilight's Call are just a way to punish Phage and it takes a lot of luck to set up. Still a fun card.
Mindblaze - when I read Kaboom! I decided that a main phase is better spent blasting everyone instead of one person for 8.
Night Dealings - I saw someone on TMD with this and thought I'd try it. No one liked it.
Reverse the Sands - ok, ok, so I thought it might be fun!

Thanks for the great card ideas everyone!

2) Cards unique to T4 that help things along...

Just in case this point was unclear, here's the gist - sometimes people make unique cards for T4, like this:

Library of the Synod
Legendary Land
: add to your mana pool.  This mana may be used to play an additional spell this turn.

If your T4 playgroup has some custom cards that add some great flavor your games, feel free to post them.

[Nefarias]

Well, I finally sat down and did it, so here's the Brass Man's stack. For those of you that are unaware, we use cards like Firebreathers and Staff of Domination to turbo-power the list. Note that the list is everchanging, and cards are always being taken out for decks, etc., and forgotten to be put back in. Also, if we have an uneven number of cards, we find a few fillers to even it out, hence some of the more questionable cards. Finally, we play with the rule that any alternate casting cost paid doesn't count as your spell for the turn, which explains the Fist of Suns and Dream Halls.

I had some trouble catergorizing some cards, so if a card you're looking for isn't in one section, try another.

[CrazyCarl]

Ok, I was just talking to Steve and made him cry, so I gotta let people in on a few things I've been trying out:

1) KIKI FUCKIN JIKI!!!:  Steve didn't know what this guy did, so I let him in on it: Haste, make a token of a non-legendary guy you control and the token has haste and is sacrificed at eot.

Copy: Riptide Shapeshifter, Gangbang Commander, Eternal Witness, Mystic Snake, Voidmage Prodigy, Symbiotic Wurm, Staunch Defenders/Angel of Mercy, Boner Shredder, etc.  He's also pretty good to basically give your guys Vigilance by swinging with the copy and blocking with the real one or vice versa.

2) Filth:  I know other people play with Wonder/Anger whatev, but Filth makes all your guys unblockable which is pretty hot.

3) Vernal Equinox:  It's a Vedalken Orrey for everyone but only works with Enchantments and men.  It's playable but I don't know if it's worth taking up a turn casting.

4) Inspiration/Gush(no ACC):  They're just simple +1 card advantage spells.

5) All of the CoK Daggrons and Miyojins: I know the Green daggron and blue miyojin suck, but it's kind of cool to have the complte cycle.

Someone suggested Headstone and I want one so bad!

Here  is a list of all currently legal Vintage cards ranked according to their T4 playability.

How did I miss this thread.  Someone should sticky it.

Mist Dragon - 2

That's some serious analysis VGB - thanks!  I did see a couple typos like the one I pointed out - you may want to fix that.

[Smmenen]

WTF.  Mist Dragon is like a top 20 pick in my deck.  It's ridic and impossible to kill.

WTF.  Mist Dragon is like a top 20 pick in my deck.  It's ridic and impossible to kill.

Now that I think about it some more, that is probably an undeserved low rating - but I will let you in on my analysis:

Evasion + a beefy creature makes for an automatic inclusion, as long as the drawback isn't too heinous (see Devouring Strossus, etc., for an example of a great creature with too terrible a drawback).  The beefier the creature the better the rating; 4/4 is at the bottom of the P/T rung considering the other flying untargetables such as Quicksilver Dragon (sorta), Morphling,  and Greater Morphling.

What made me detract from the overral score is the fact that phasing removes it from play, thus it isn't available as a blocker/attacker until your next turn - and there might be quite a few turns in the interim where an untargetable creature might have been strictly superior in the same scenario.  Any of the Masticores on the table render it useless as well.

The fact it is un-wrathable, though, is something I really didn't factor for, so I will revise my rating for it.  If I am wrong about any other cards, feel free to correct me either here or via PM.

Eventually I hope to make the list more user friendly with links, too, if anybody would ever get around to answering my BBcode questions :/

[Triple_S]

Survival as a 3?  I think not.  You devote an entire draft strategy to Survival if you get it early in the draft and its never dead.  Worst case is you thaw all of your bad creatures out of your deck and you end up with your best creature in your hand.  That is some good.

[VGB]

It certainly deserves better, but I gave it a low rating for a reason - functionally, it's like an Aladdin's Lamp for creatures only.  Its drawback is that it makes you wait an entire turn to reap it's benefits, since the only playable insta-creature in T4 is Mystic Snake (barring you have Quicksilver Amulet/Johnny in play).  Thus you get a huge bullseye on your forehead with no way to retaliate, unless you have some sort of combo in place.  It can also suck against graveyard removal.

It also has great synergy with animation effects such as Twilight's Call/Living Death/Patriarch's Bidding, and critters such as Undead Gladiator, though, so I will bump up the rating a couple of smidges.

[Jacob Orlove]

Glory. Also, Chainer or Graverobber. And Illusionary Mask. Survival is really good.

Mist Dragon is unkillable, save Mindslaver. That's amazingly good.

I'm going to have to agree with Shane here.  Intuition and Gifts are insane, and Survival is sick.  There are too many sick combos to even name (just think Cauldren Dance and that's just the beginning).
