[Hetemti]

I don't remember exactly, but it was something like

Viashino Cutthroats
Viashino Sandstalkers
Defence Grid
Lightning Bolts
Enlightened Tutor
Engineered Plagues
Demonic Tutor
Gauntlet of Might
Fault Lines
Fire Ants (It mentions Viashinoes)
Thran Weapondries
Arc Lightnings
Zirilan
Maybe some other stuff

Plateaus
Badlands
Scrublands
Mountains

Basicly, all two of the good Viashinos and support...with Plague as anti-species tech.

[Should we allow this? Can people vote effectively with just the idea of a deck instead of a decklist? - Spidey]

[No, you shouldn't...after all...Plague Rats are sooo much cooler than Viashinoes it's not even funny. Besides, I suck at deckbuilding...well...suck at Magic...in fact, I just plain suck. Fire at will. - Hetemti]

[Captain Caveman]

"By the way, we need to make sure that this doesn't just become what the other one was: a popularity contest."


Agreed.

Its going to be very difficult to pick the "best" decks. Everyone
(and rightly so)is going to feel like their deck should be picked.
Somebody will come away unhappy with the outcome.

But.....

I do not what this to happen. I like to see what creative ideas
people come up with. The whole idea behind Auction of the
people is spur creativity in the Magic community.(IMO)

Even if you feel like this is pointless please post your deck. If for
no other reason then to make me go, WoW, that looks like a
fun deck.

Here's my very lame AotP submissionno creativity here)

[Apollo]

Well, the exact content of my marvelous deck is lost somewhere in Wizco's computers, where I'm sure no human eyes ever even glanced on it.

So I don't have the exact list, but it's no big deal. I'll make it up.

4 Orcish Librarian
4 Orcish Captain
4 Orcish Spy
4 Ironclaw Orcs
4 Orcish Artillery
3 Brassclaw Orcs
2 Orcish Cannoneers
3 Orcish General
3 Orcish Settlers

4 Song/Call of Blood (you know what I'm talking about... turn over the top 3 cards of your deck, your creatures get +x/+0 till end of turn)...
3 Kaervek's T_ORC_ch (so it's a bit of a stretch...)
22 Mountain

The basic idea is to play some quicky Orcs, and deal a little bit of damage. Once the other person gets into a creature stall (since we're all playing heavy creature decks) you just keep summoning Orcs, then at some point use the Librarian/Spy to find the best time to use Call of Blood and make all your guys huge. You attack, sac anybody they block to the General if you have him, and hopefully just overrun them. If you're close, the Captain or Torch can hopefully help finish them off. And of course, the Artilleries/Cannoneers are beautiful for picking off opposing little guys.

 

[Mikeymike]

Can't make heads or tails of this one...budump bump! I slay me.

This was an inspired deck from Lotus Mox's Chance Encounter thread, I'm actually going to build it one of these days.

Flipper
Creatures 20
4 Goblin Bookie (I'd run 8 if I could)
4 Frenetic Efreet
4 Orchish Captain
3 Mogg Assassin
3 Majae Djinn
2 Wild Wurm (one of the coolest pieces of art ever)

Crap 16
4 Chance Encounter
4 Squee's Revenge
3 Puppet's Verdict (I want to lose the flip)
4 Crooked Scales
1 Game of Chaos

Mana 24
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Sol Ring
4 Volcanic Islands
1 Strip Mine
4 Shivan Reef
9 Mountains
3 Islands

I think this thing can actually win a game...if I play about 40 games.
Can anyone think of any blue flip cards?
----------
Mine! They're all Mine!

Creatures 15
4 Goblin Cadets (how's that for a turn 1 drop)
4 Tempest Efreet
4 Clambassadors
3 Fickle Efreet

Crap 21
4 Brand
4 Recoup (so I can use Brand again)
4 Burning Cinder Fury of Crimson Chaos Fire
3 Cultural Exchange
3 Thieves Auction
3 Illicit Auction

Mana 24
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Sol Ring
2 Thawing Glaciers
4 Volcanic Islands
4 Shivan Reef
8 Mountains
3 Islands

Anyone who wants to critique these decks please feel free. I think I might actually try to build them.

Dat's Song of Blood.

Surprised I didn't see Orcish Oriflamme.
Gauntlet of Might would be kewl in here, too.

 

[Apollo]

Oh yes, Orcish Oriflamme was in there. I told you I was making it up again.

I believe there was one less Brassclaw, one less Torch, and one less General and 3 Oriflammes.
