What about last week's article by Evan Erwin... This is a very fun article to read. Steve can be funny when he wants to be. |

QUESTION 20:
Are you good enough to join Team Meandeck? I answered A) No. Meandeck just has the goods on me. This is the only question I answered, so I got a 1. Let's see where that gets me... 13 and below. ICBM is calling. Thanks for the advice Steve  |

Excellent work, Steve. This gets my "best article of 2006" award. I'm sure many will say the same.

I got a 22 out of 20. This means that I am now starting a new team called "Team VengeanceDeck" or VD for short. Anyone who wants some VD in their life should PM me, and I'll give you details about getting sweet sweet VD tech.
Sorry meandeckers, if you only got 20 on this, you can't join up for your VD spot.

Um, wasn't "The Funker" that old Workshop aggro deck on BD with Covetous Dragon?
In any case, that was quite a humorous article.

The in-jokes like Ray losing to double-Blazing Shoal'd Raging Goblin are what makes it techy. |

I cant tell if answer C-E in question 15 is serious... also A is confusing (why would anyone chuckle and combo on turn 10? or did i just miss a inside joke)
Im stuck on that one and questions 5 and a few name origins in 12.
God thank you i played the guy in question 11 (Or at least i think I did, he looked just like that)
That was a great article and made me laugh many times over. 11-10

Correct. As anyone who has memorized Rakso's old articles or knows how to use a search engine can tell you, The Funker looks something like this: Shane Stoots, The Funker, May 2002, Beyond Dominia test deck Red (12) 4 Goblin Welder 1 Viashino Heretic 1 Gorilla Shaman 3 Covetous Dragon 1 Wheel of Fortune 2 Fire/Ice Artifacts (6) 1 Phyrexian Colossus 1 Karn, Silver Golem 3 Masticore 1 Memory Jar Blue (8) 1 Ancestral Recall 1 Time Walk 1 Timetwister 1 Fact or Fiction 1 Mystical Tutor 1 Stroke of Genius 1 Tinker 1 Compulsion Black (4) 1 Yawgmoth's Will 1 Demonic Tutor 1 Vampiric Tutor 1 Mind Twist White (1) 1 Balance Green (1) 1 Regrowth Mana (28) 1 Black Lotus 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Mox Ruby 1 Mox Pearl 1 Mox Jet 1 Mox Emerald 1 Sol Ring 1 Mana Vault 1 Grim Monolith 1 Library of Alexandria 1 Tolarian Academy 1 Strip Mine 4 Wasteland 4 City of Brass 4 Badlands 4 Volcanic Island For an in-depth look at how to beat The Funker with The Deck, check out: http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/article/3548.html (Part 54 in the series!) |

I think that the answer is B, the joke being that some people used to call U/R Null Rod Fish "Gay Red." Because it was Gay Fish + red cards. Gay Fish evolved from Curious Fish with the addition of Cloud of Faeries (LOL GET IT?), and Curious Fish evolved from terrible blue aggro decks with the addition of Curiosity (HAHA IT'S SEX JOKES). That, and Team Short Bus loved to make gay jokes. |
