During your end step, swords the dragon... pass priority... (I don't think you used such tender words before... but I understand... )

Don't you have a UU Draw part of your turn? :)

In response to that, I'll tap my mana, activate the Icy Manipulator, and Tap the Winter Orb. Eat your 8, leaving me at 5. Anything else on your turn?

Still not sure which land you untapped... Also, you drew a card, right?

Untap, Draw, Play Mountain, Play Dragon Whelp, Play Dragon Whelp, Done.

Good Game, nice draws... 4 swords doesn't suck, I couldn't figure out why you'd splash white for 1 geddon...

I don't see a way I can win this game (next draw is junk). I'm going to spend some time rebuilding this deck... Then I'll take a rematch (x2)... :)

Thanks... your deck has plenty of beef... seems you had no real issues playing things... just met with a lot of "control"...

I always build utility... I haven't used Paralyze in so long, until this HAL began... It's nice for control in balck, especially early... and even mid-game it ties up mana...

There are Swords, Serras, Balances, Armageddons and Disenchants... go figure - only one critter for all of that... Having a Plateau ad Srubland make it more feasible...

I'm tweaking this one a bit with some trades from Moosey...

Anything I have posted in the HAL trade thread you would like?

And the rematch is all that... and a bag of chips... :cool:

Trouble I have is no Tutors... And only 1 Icy... I didn't even think about Paralyze especially stupid w/ the Orbs...

As far as trades go, I will probably sacrifice my white stuff (just not enough to build on) - Lions, Crusade, Bodyguard, my 1 Angel, 3 Wall of Swords, 1 W Knight... Plenty of Wards if you're looking for those (doubtful) Conversion.. :)

I'll look through your cards again to see if I can put together a deal..

Sounds good to me... we can always do something... (I'm especially interested in trading the Blue duals I have...)
