I'm liking the Alchamist/orb combo so much i want to try to break it in type one. The problem here is that the combo decks in Vintage can go off first to second turn, and control deck's can easily get the hand on the alchamist/orb quickly with a Force of will, mana drain, or in the hands of a workshop-prison deck, a quick Trinisphere.


We need quick way's to generate TONS of mana.

the mana base is pretty open right now. a definite for after the Yawg's Win Will have to be Fastbond

Obvious inclusions

5 mox
1 lotus
1 lions eye diamond

of course we need the congerers bauble... so 4 of those are a must. the yawg's will and the orb/alchamists are a must.

to defend against control we need 4X Duress.

Dark ritual is a must as well

cabal ritual!? Yay or Nay?
Elvish Spirit Guide?

Storm based effects are weak except for of course Tendrils of agony which will be the kill.


Should this deck run a tinker-collosus as another threat in case the tendril's get's removed.

burning wish?


alright everyone let's make this deck a COMPETITIVE TYPE 1 MONSTROSITY!!!


(if i win a mox with this thing i'll send you all a Viserdrix!!!)

possibly. the real question is "is this going to be an egg deck ment for casual to be a joke or are we going to make this serious?"

the Orb combo works nicely - but I don't see a defense if an arcane lab or rule of law gets dropped on you...
