                              Propageddon'98
Hey,
my name is Ansi Rodenahusen from Germany. I used to play Cursed-Sligh on
tournements, but now I play my new "Propageddon".
Maybe you should make some changes (especially with the land), bevor playing it
on tournements.
But it beated every deck I played against (Sligh, BigBlue, Pox, Stompy,
Discardnecro, Bloom).

Here it is............Propageddon'98(by A. Rodenhausen)!!!!

3 x Tithe                       4 x Propaganda
4 x Armageddon                  4 x Impulse
4 x Empyrial Armor              3 x Memory Lapse (soon Mana Leak!)
1 x Disenchant                  4 x Slight of Mind

4 x Soltarie Priest             2 x Sylvan Libary
4 x Freewind Falcon
4 x White Knight                3 x Adakarwastes
2 x Sea Sprite                  7 x Plains
                                4 x Gemstone Mine
                                1 x Undiscovered Paradise
                                1 x City of Brass
                                2 x Wasteland
Let's have a lock at this deck:
You should always let your opponent draw first (because of the Tithes and the E.
Armors). Then in the second turn you should always be able to cast a creature,
if not search for one with the Impulses or slow down your opponent by memory
lapsing him. In the third turn cast Prapaganda or E. Armor(never cast an Armor
on a White Knight if your opponent has a red mana or two mountains left). Or you
play a second creature and keep one mana to protect your creature with Slight of
Mind in turn 3. If you've casted Propaganda in turn 3 and have one creature out
you can sometimes play Armageddon even in turn 4.

The creatures: mainly I took creatures with protection red, because there are
only a few Necrataals in tournements left, but a lot of Sligh-Decks; and
protection black neither helps against Diabolic Edict. I took two Srib Sprites
instead of Orders, Deathspeaker or Monks and this stuff, because they're also
red protected and help even against Drift of the Night (you must slight the
Drifts or there will be serious problems).

A lot of people think you won't win with 4 Gemstone, but you can, because of the
Armageddons. Always use the last counter for Armageddon!
You don't need any creature control except for Propaganda: slighted creatures
can't be blocked (most decks have only creatures of one color) and you've 4
Shadow-creatures.
This deck could get problems with D. Edict, Cursed Sroll, Pox, Wrath of god or
Propaganda (your protection will be useless). But I think this deck is to fast
for cursed sroll and Wrath of God, so simply cast your Armageddon first.
Use your Sideboard against Propaganda and Disks (Disenchants and Auras in
Sideboard).
And in case of being poxed or edicted....hm...counter them or you've got a
problem (Disrupts in Sideboard).

So that's the Sideboard:
4 x Chill            3 x Disenchant
1 x Hydroblast       3 x Disrupt
2 x Aura of Silence  2 x Wasteland
