The Ultimate Challenge!

[chocobo_cid]

Create a non-sliver, non-affinity-based T2 five color deck that doesn't suck, without the use of a special 5-color format.

I'm not quite sure if this this impossible, but it's pretty close.

 

[Nightstalkers]

Umm... I'd just make a deck with all five colors, using all those neat artifact lands, and create a mainly artifact deck.


Hmm... does that work, or is it cheating?

 

[13NoVa]

Lets see


20 mana base
4 glimmervoid
4 whispers of the vault
2 ancient den
4 seat of the synod
2 tree of tales
4 great furnace

20 spells:
4 pyrite spellbomb
4 sunbeam spellbomb
2 necrogen spellbomb
2 lifespark spellbomb
2 aether spellbomb
4 shrapnel blast
2 wing shards

8 creatures
4 desciple of the vault
4 arcbound ravager

12 fun stuffs
4 pulse of the fields
4 pulse of the forge
4 terror


IDK just a ruff draft of some random **** that actually might work.

Start with a green base and run birds and sprouting vines...

[grumble]Curses! This was the ultimate challenge before Mirrodin and Darksteel shattered the color wheel...[/grumble]

 

[Tabasco]

Or....we could look to the upcoming expansion 5th Dawn which has a card for 3G that adds WUGRB to your mana pool...or some of the other 5 color cards that the 5th dawn (the new rainbow expansion) is bringing us!!


Look out for Unglued's brother coming eventually......the aptly named Unhinged......No Joke...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Stupid Wizards. I liked it better when colors were clearly defined and unambiguous when not every color could have a lure effect. Or a psionic gift effect. Or trample. Or protection from blue. Or red. Or black. Or White. Or have a sleeper's cloak attached. Or anything else with the advent of these stupid equipment cards.

Build a domain deck using the prepackaged domain cards from the Invasion block.

There were quite a few surprises at Regionals - one of which wasn't me...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Did you even go?

 

[train]

Competed in Dallas - record-setting for the South Regional...

lost first round - then went 1-1-1, so 1-2-1 before dropping...



The draw was outright cool - natural affinity and 13 lands on the table is sweet... (especially when the opponent just tapped out to play an eternal dragon...)

 

[chocobo_cid]

Nice. [evil laugh]
