Deck of the Day: Draw!

[Master Shake]

No time for even a well thought out list, just an idea.

Casual, annoying deck:

--------------------------
--------------------------\
Land:

4x Caves of Kolios
4x City of Brass
4x Swamp
4x Plains
4x Scrubland

White:

3x Transendence
4x Enlightened Tutor
4x Academy Rector
4x Swords to Plowshares
1x Benalish Hero

Black:

4x Duress
4x Vampiric Tutor
4x False Cure
4x Cabal Therapy
4x Death Wish

Gold:

4x Vindicate
--------------------------/
--------------------------

The idea: Transendence + False Cure = Draw. It creates an infinte loop that is just annoying. My time is short, so I will leave it at that, feel free to edit the deck, I will reply back later.

Any ideas will be cool.

Actually, since you're losing and gaining life double the amount gained/lost, I think it accelerates until you hit the 20 life clause in Transcendence and lose the game.

Example: If I gain 1 life, I lose 2 from False Cure. Since I lose 2, I gain 4 on Transcendence, which I then lose 8 and gain 16. They're all triggered abilities, not replacement effects, which is why I believe this happens and doesn't cause an infinite loop.

 

[Master Shake]

Nope, this is a thing from Saturday School #49 I think. The game can only end three ways:

1. If the Transendence can be destroyed (You Lose)
2. The ability is Stifiled (You Lose)
3. A draw, because of the loop.

They are both replacement effects, and as soon as one hits, the other takes effect, it fills up the stack and the game just ends.

Here...

They ARE triggered abilities, it's just that if you control both the False Cure and Transcendence, you can choose how to stack the effects, so the outcome would either be to lose the game or cause the infinite loop and a draw.

So if your end result is to cause a draw, you're good to go here...

Why not just deck everybody?

Although I guess your deck might provide a very annoying game-ender for some people...

 

[Master Shake]

How?

 

[train]

Anything that says when, whenever, or at, is a triggered ability...



I'm lost on the decking idea for this deck...

 

[Oversoul]

Not for this deck. I meant decking was easier...

I guess it would be possible to Death Wish something in though, if your really wanted to deck them...

 

[Master Shake]

I think the real question is not, "How?" But, "What the hell are you talking about?" The point of the deck is to cause the game to result in a draw. It pisses people off, it labels you as an, "oink hole" and lets face it, that is just cool.

 

[Oversoul]

I'm talking about decking everybody being easier than getting a draw by a loop...

 

[Master Shake]

But... the deck is not even designed to have anything to do with that, infact, it is a completly different concept that does not into this deck at all... Blargh!

You make my sally unhappy.

 

[Oversoul]

I know, I just thought that would be easier for a "draw deck." It's not for THIS deck, clearly...

But um, I have no idea what our sally is...
