Oh yeah, Rogue Elephant is kind of a BEATING. Terrain would be a little too expensive for my build, but looking at abusing the Cradle, it does make a great high ender. I'd drop the Acridians and the sentinels for 4 Rogues, 2 Terrains.
Yes, Will would love cheaper spells, but Duress, Skirge, Expunge and S. Darkness all work in that area. Plus each one doubles the number of Corrupts. maybe two Wills and another Darkness or Befoul.

I tryed to build a WW deck before I posted the White Smokestack deck. I got this far and set it aside.

4 Serra Zealot(first strike)
4 Diciple of Law
4 Diciple of Grace
4 Chimeric Idol
4 Benalish Knight(play as instant & first strike)
4 Glorious Anthem

& possibly Waylay


20 Plains
4 Blasted Landscape

I thought about using the Armor but figured without Cataclysm to back it up the Anthem might be better.
Who knows? I do like your idea though. It would probably work better than mine.




Tomorrow we'll break`em out and see how things go. I'm looking foward to playing with some cards that
have been lying around for awhile. It should be fun.


I believe for our next B.Y.O.B format we'll change the name to; Random Block Constructed(RBC)and work
with sets that have a few more options. I was thinking that Tempest/Visions/Destiny might be fun.


I'd like to thank everyone who has help me get a better understanding of deckbuilding. I probably
still can't build a good deck but practice makes perfect.

We had a pretty good time last night.

Some observations:(personal opinion)

1. Corrupt is_really_ good unless your opponent has a Helix in the table. Yawgmoth's Will makes it even
more powerful late in the game. Those 2 cards won me 2 seperate games.

2. Gizmo's Green deck is a beating, unless you get a slow start but thats really my fault for holding
some weak opening hands.

3. Tolarian Academy makes the Wildfire very powerful. Thats pretty obvious, though. We were
trying to get though the decks so I really didn't play it very much but the Academy's probably broken
even in this format.

4. Blue is hard to play.(could be me)Without
permanent removal its pretty hard to stop some decks.

5. Persecute is strong! Turn two it can cripple an
opponent(unless you get duress turn one) All of that
is kind of obvious but you get the idea.

6. WW is pretty weak but I did win a few games with it. The verion I played was similiar to the one Erik
posted. Looking back in it I should have played it like he posted it. I'm pretty sure it is/was better
than mine.

7. I even won a few games with Red but I got very lucky. It was all about the matchup, getting really
good opening hands and top decking what I needed.


Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who help.


I think Tempest/Visions/Destiny is going to be a lot of fun. I was looking at the card pool earlier
today and saw what seemed like a lot of powerful single cards. Can they be broken? I doubt that I can
do it but I'm going to try and I look foward to see what you guys come up with.

Yes, this is a cruddy format. Thus, here are some cruddy decks:

4 Fledgling Djinn
4 Chilling Apparition
4 Hidden Horror
4 Coffin Puppets
4 Dark Ritual
4 Duress
4 Contamination
4 Infernal Tribute
3 Infernal Genesis
2 Spinning Darkness
19 Swamp

----

3 Mageta the Lion
4 Ophidian
3 Alexi, Zephyr Mage
2 Serra's Blessing
3 Abeyance
4 Gerrard's Wisdom
2 Disrupt
3 Teferi's Veil
4 Foil
3 Psychic Vortex
4 Chimeric Idol
2 Chimeric Staff
14 Island
9 Plains

----

3 Straw Golem (sucky I know)
4 Steel Golem
3 Citanul Centaurs
4 Vernal Bloom
1 Vitalizing Wind
4 Voltaic Key
4 Mind Stone
4 Chimeric Idol
4 Worn Powerstone
2 Mana Web
3 Chimeric Staff
3 Scorched Ruins
21 Forest

Hopefully it should be apparent that made these decks as I typed this. However the last deck could be fairly good in this environment.

It probably doesn't matter anymore. I just wanted to try my hand I guess.
