Embargo type of thing

[Griffith_se]

Speaking of unusual cards I've been trying to figure out a way to abuse "Ley Line", any ideas for that one?

 

[Lotus Mox]

what about Well of Life and Chimeric Idol to gain 2 life every turn?

 

[Istanbul]

I thought of the same thing...but your opponent untaps land, and you tap out, so No Counterspell For You. That's bad.

 

[Lotus Mox]

Embargo just doesn't work.

Stasis is approximately 1903782972 times better than Embargo

 

[Griffith_se]

Oh come on Guy's, just about anything has a 'chance' to work.
Even if it is only about a .025% chance, it's still a chance.

I didn't really try to make a "Stasis" type deck, it's more like an attempt at locking down Creatures.

 

[Griffith_se]

Changed a little, took out Dromar's Charm and Malicious Advise added 2 "Reviving Vapors", and 4 "Spirit Link".
Also, added 4 Ports
Better or worse?

This is probably the best we can do . Enlightened Tutor was a real loss. But I think this should work well. Maybe put in a couple meekstones to help with the combo.

 

[Griffith_se]

When I was making this deck I thought "kismet would be perfect but, aww it's out of type2.
So I come across this card:

Uphill Battle
2R, Enchantment, Mercadian Masques Uncommon
Creatures your opponents play come into play tapped.

Any Suggestions on how to force red into this deck

[Thallid Ice Cream Man]

Gerrard Capashen might work somehow... it would be mana intensive though.

Maybe even Spirit Link...

I don't think Uphill Battle is really worth it, though.

 

[Turtlewax Joe]

I do, keep working on the land mix I can't help with mixing land ...well, because I suck at it. Gerrard is a good idea.

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

Gerrard is a wonderful idea, I would replace the minatour with him.

Also, I think Tangle Wire is a good idea here.
