Seahunter

[Griffith_se]

The idea is to get out the big guns fairly fast. There are a couple of way, the Seahunter/Conspiracy combo, and for Avatar of Will Will/Nexus combo. This is really rough, I just threw it out there to see what happens. Also I thought Volrath would be good, if Your within 14 points of winning the game You could pitch an Avatar to Him.

Creatures-11
4 Cateran Enforcer
3 Seahunter
1 Tidal Kraken
1 Avatar of Will
1 Avatar of Woe
1 Volrath the Fallen

Black spells-18
3 Conspiracy
4 Vampiric Tutor
3 Dark Ritual
4 Duress
4 Parallax Nexus

Blue spells-7
3 Counterspell
4 Rethink

Land-24
3 Underground River
2 Peatbog
2 Sapprazan Skerry
7 Island
10 Swamp

Tag Guard

More Counterspells.
Also use Foil.
Think about adding another Ritual.

Question: What do you have for creature removal?

You've had this posted for what, a day and a half? On a weekend, when we're less busy here, no less?

You've got to be kidding!

For starters, I think you need to work on the curve a bit. I don't know how things stand in your neck of the woods, but to me a good weenie/Stompy type deck will probably beat you senseless long before the fruits of your combo(s) can come out to save you. You'll need to add in SOME smaller creatures just to live that long, I think.

FoR's version seems a little better, though his costs are a little high. It is more focused, and I do like the obvious synergy between Avatar of Will and all the discard effects (and the Nexus). I do not like the Avatar of Woe in your version though, unless you put in some way to off the creatures your opponent already has in play.

And I'm not that impressed with Rethink in a slow deck. I put 4 of them into my Phyrexian Wrath deck just to check them out, and to me they're about as effective as Power Sinks. They're OK early (though not too early), but as the game wears on they lose effectiveness, and unlike Miscalculate they cannot be cycled. You need something that's effective all the time if possible, to protect the Conspiracy/Seahunter thing, or at least something to do with them once they lose effectiveness, like pitching them to a Masticore or something.

I hope that helps!

Yeah, I'm kidding. I'm not really dead, just bored. There ought to be a law against working weekends.



Thanks

Here's an insane idea: you have Volrath, why not use Infiltrate or something that gives Fear!

Looking over this deck, i really like it. I suggest you go with this as a foundation (of rancor?) I dont know-may be too diff from waht you wanted.

 

[Griffith_se]

Your deck isn't to different from mine. Yours Is just more focused, Mine dosen't know if it wants to be a counter, or discard deck.

I think I'm going to go mostly Blue. Here is the core I think I'm going to use.

4 Vampiric Tutor
4 Conspiracy
4 Seahunter
4 Counterspell
4 Brainstorm

I think Brainstorm would be good, because it will allow You to put a fatty back in Your library so You can Seahunter for it.

I'm going to drop the Avatar of Will, and the Black discard stuff, That should make mine more focused.

I like Overlords Infiltrate/Volrath idea I might use it.

Some creatures I'm thinking of using to Seahunter out.

Crater Hellion (Clears the way, I hope)
Tidal Kraken (unblockable 6/6)
Avatar of Might (8/8 Trampler)
Thorn elemental (7/7 Direct damage)
Serra Avatar (If it comes out early, ouch)

How do I survive an early game Weenie Rush? Thats what I'm having problems with. Energy Field? Fog Bank? Powder Keg? Any Suggestions?



Thanks
