Zadok001 replied to my thread about Disrupting Scepter and mentioned something about the classic deck called, "The Deck" (by Brian Weissman). I've never heard of that deck name but I have seen several variants of it. Thanks to Spiderman, who gave me a link to follow, for showing me a Mason Loring Bliss version of this classic deck. After looking at it I started to think of ways to build something like that in the current T2 enviornment.
Here's Bliss' 1997 version:
Mana Production
4x City of Brass
7x Island
3x Plains
1x Black Lotus (is this card any good? j/k)
3x Lotus Petal
1x Mox Emerald
1x Mox Jet
1x Mox Pearl
1x Mox Ruby
1x Mox Sapphire
1x Sol Ring
Card Drawing
1x Anscestral Recall
1x Timetwister
1x Time Walk
1x Gaea's Blessing
1x Regrowth
1x Braingeyser
1x Demonic Tutor
1x Mystical Tutor
1x Enlightened Tutor
1x Jayemdae Tome
1x Library of Alexandria
Offense
1x Rack
1x Jester's Cap
1x Tormod's Crypt
A Lock
2x Disrupting Scepter
1x Amnesia (I forget what this one does )
4x Mana Drain
2x Counterspell
Defense
3x Blood Moon
1x Moat
1x The Abyss
2x Swords to Plowshares
3x Disenchant
1x Balance
1x Ivory Tower
1x Cursed Totem
(This is how Bliss typed it, not me)
I'm a hugh fan of Control via Stalling, so I attempted to put together a deck with "The Deck"'s objective in mind.
"A Deck": extremely loosely based on "The Deck"
2x Misdirection
4x Absorb
4x Counterspell
2x Disrupting Scepter
1x Teferi's Moat
1x Spiritual Assylum
2x Rout
2x Wrath of God
1x Restock
2x Fact or Fiction
4x Accumulated Knowledge
1x Soothsayer
1x Mystical Tutor
1x Enlightened Tutor
2x Lobotomy
1x G/W Cameo
1x U/B Cameo
1x U/W Cameo
2x Disenchant
2x Jeweled Spirit
1x Rackling
1x Story Circle
4x City of Brass
1x Elfhame Palace
1x Brushland
2x Underground River
2x Adarkar Wastes
2x Coastal Tower
1x Kor Haven
3x Plains
6x Island
This deck is a working "Pile" in progress, but I am so fascinated by it's possibilities that I am 'play-testing' with it to see if it's remotely tournament worthy.
Any suggestions (besides, "Give it up YJ"), are welcomed.
