[Womba]

So the ichorid deck has 6 Bayou in the SB, interesting tech for getting reverent silence online. Two fetches possibly?

[nicofromtokyo]

Fixed (at least here).

[islanderboi10]

I like that Oath deck.
Grats, keep up the good work!

[Doomsday]

Some of the card choices seem unusual compared to what we normally see (2 SDT in ANT with 1 Bob sideboard,  2 Lightning Bolts in Vault/Key, etc).  Was wondering if any of these guys post here or could offer some insight on their builds?

I am afraid they can't : they don't speak english  . Regarding Hiromichi's list, Bolt is just a metagame call (supposed to be a lot of random aggro here in Tokyo).

[marriedwithchildren]

Thanks Nico!  This is a nice glimpse into the Asian meta.  That Mirroir Magique deck looks CrAzY!

[covetousrat]

Japanese can come out with the weirdest decks in the world (Pure Innovators). Its always great and refreshing to go through their lists.  Good job.

[Gandalf_The_White_1]

That Mirroir Magique deck looks CrAzY!

Ya, a friend of mine T8ed today with a modified build of it:
-3 Trop -2 Gemstone -1 Strip -2 Chant -1 Crucible -1 Zuran Orb -1 Kaleidostone -1 Triskelion -1 Top -1 Hurkyls
+1 Underground Sea +1 Volcanic Island +3 Scalding Tarn +1 Wheel of Fourtune +1 Ancient Grudge +1 Cunning Wish +1 Time Walk +1 Brainstorm +1 Inkwell +1 Thirst for Knowledge +1 Memory Jar
(more out than in because we went down to 60 cards)

I think Wheel and Jar definitely belong in the deck.  We thought that Inkwell was a better finisher than Trike.  Chants are good but got cut because we needed to up the Blue count to support Fow--11 is too low; our list has 15.  The Cunning Wish was for an alternate kill condition in the board in case of Sadistic Sacrament, etc, but also ups the Blue count and gives you more ways to deal with hate.

The sideboard was different also--it included a couple of basics, artifact hate, Pyroblasts, and Leylines.

The deck looks like a pile of crap but is a blast to play and often manages to go quite broken: it is basically Steel City Vault with Mirror combo thrown in.
