It's a head, and I don't really build decks for a format. Although 99.99% of the cards in my decks don't go back before Mirrodin really. Is that Extended? Either way, play what you want, I'm here to test out what I've built so playing something that's going to win on turn 1 is no good but other that play to (let me) win

All cool. I'll try out my Vintage-Level Long.dec.
No, seriously, if I had half the cards for a Long.Dec, me and my mom wouldn't have to hide broken stuff from our landlord.
I guess I'll give my MBC deck a shot here. If it wins, it might stand a chance at that Singleton tournament after modification.

If I can get goin before your blood spells start making me sac creatures I'll be ok. Otherwise I think I'm probably screwed. This could just end up being a race Untap, Upkeep - SC(spore counter) on Utopia Mycon, Draw.
Island. Thallid Shell-Dweller. Responses? Done either way.
