Do you mean type 2 as in 4 days? Who knows what kind of decks will find sucess until we get there. There are some interesting ideas lurking around here...

And we probably won't know on Nov. 1st either.
Oh wait... I'd better correct that... No one but Gizmo will know.

Well, of course, we have vague impressions. The Invitational decklists from the sideboard are a good place to start if you're looking for tech for States. Past that, well, no one's really PLAYING that format yet, since it isn't legal. Give it a few weeks.

Not to wax intellectual, or to sound whiny, but I think that the whole "Oh, I want to build the pop. T2 deck" thing simply shows a lack of creativity...
Now, I realize that there are certain killer combos and other ways to win, that seem quite domineering, and I don't doubt, having played the game for as long as I have (had cards when it came out, got serious around revised), that often there has appeared to be only one certain type of deck that can win.
After all, I can rephrase your average T2 player's thoughts:
"Wow, someone came up with a great combo.
I'm certainly too dimwitted to come up with my own, and if I were to come up with something different, it might lose. Heck, it has a good chance of losing. So instead, I'll use my money, and buy the popular cards, and play a shallow version of the deck that's been winning so often lately."
Now, I realize that sometimes, someone comes up with a very nice modification to a current deck, and that has its own place.
And to those who build the pop deck simply because they think they have no other way to win, shame on them. After all, creativity is part of the game, and they simply seem to be giving up.
I know that many play to win, instead of playing to play AND to win. The former, the majority, often have cheated more than a few times in the past.
It simply seems to me to be nothing more than an insipid creativity hole, with nothing more than a very bad plot by Hasbro to make cash... sort of a departure from what the game was originally.

Well I dont know what is good in T2, I`m not that interested in T2 seeing as I play it like once a year. But I do know that the Invitational decks almost entirely suck - none of the players in the Invitational had done any preparation and almost every deck was built the night before the tournament, or simply borrowed from friends.
I expect a field something like:
40% people playing Shadowmage Infiltrator
30% people playing Call of The Herd
10% people playing Devoted Caretaker
10% people playing Early Harvest
10% people playing other things

...not THIS, again.
To NDH: Research, research, reasearch. Read lots and lots of articles, especially tournament reports that have anything to do with the post Nov. 1 standard environment.
To Goku: Shaming people into thinking playing "Net-Decks" is horrible, is wreckless AND irresponsible writting (If, in fact, that was your intent). If playing "net decks" was really, really bad for the game, it would be dead by now.

Is ok, YJ, I don't think Goku meant that to be an insult to netdeckers. There's no fire here, folks.
NDH - Your best bet for really good netdeck lists is the Sideboard. StarCity will get you some rogue deck lists. MtGNews will get you every deck you could possibly want, but you have to dig for it. I don't think anyone here really wants to spend time digging up a bunch of decklists, though. They're easy enough to find if you go looking.

Has anyone seen the recent Sideboard online article here where Mike Long and Chris Bishop tell you about this wonderful little powerhouse called "Harry Potter", and they proceed to tell you all these wonderful things you can do with the deck? Trouble is, not everything they say works.
Word to the wise: You can only activate Mirari once per spell and you may NOT choose a different mode.
Anyway, part of me wonders if the "pros" like to lace the net with decks they know they can beat and give false information to keep themselves with a competitive edge.
Think about it...

TomB: Oh yeah..
Oh, I guarantee you people do that. In fact, I know a guy (we're not on good terms) that fiddles with the newbies and works off their lack of experience to tell them "awesome decks" that he knows he can beat at the local card shop. I try to rectify the situation, but, unfortunately, none of them believe me until it happens to them. That's part of the reason that I encourage creativity, and one making decks on their own.
Oh yes... I try to insult no one. I simply make my point, no?

Ericbess: So you're saying we should compile all the decklists online, and then play the exact opposite?

I think, with Aven Shrine in the deck, you should drop to at most one or two copies of each spell. That also leaves your deck open for such bomb cards as the CoPs, etc...
