Auction of the People

[Istanbul]

This went up on magicthegathering.com recently...what word did you choose, and what did you submit? I went with the word 'All'.

4x Bane of the Living
3x Desolation Angel
3x Mortivore
3x Yukora the Prisoner

4x Echoing Decay
4x Infest
4x Befoul
3x Eradicate
3x Night of Souls' Betrayal
3x Cabal Therapy
2x Haunting Echoes

2x Boseiju, Who Shelters All
22x Swamp

I expect to see a lot of creatures in this format, so this deck should be rather lethal.

I chose 'Return' and made a Ninja deck:

4 Myr Servitor
4 Escape Artist
4 Soratami Cloudskater
1 Skullsnatcher
2 Mistblade Shinobi
1 Walker of Secret Ways
4 Ninja of the Deep Hours
2 Throat Slitter
2 Okina-Gang Shinobi
3 Higure, the Still Wind
1 Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
1 Meloku the Clouded Mirror

3 Echoing Truth
1 Barrin's Spite
1 Synod Sanctum

2 Sword of Light and Shadow

12 Island
10 Swamp
1 Crosis's Catacombs
1 Dromar's Cavern


Well it was something close to that. If I would have noticed Rushing River, I definitely would have include a couple of them over Echoing Truth because Rushing River is just devasting in a tempo-oriented deck like this one. It can also serve as an alpha strike kind of card when there is a stall and your opponent thinks he's got enough blockers.
