Subject: deck workshop/deck to beat Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 08:58:13 PDT From: "Matthew Fournier" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Frank, I've been working on a deck, and since it's just another variation on the Sligh/burn concept, I decided to reveal the tech and post it on the Workshop. It'd be cool if you'd consider it for the May or June "Decks to Beat". Here it is. "Meta Sligh" 2 Goblin Digging Teams 1 Goblin Vandal 3 Mogg Fanatic 4 Jackal Pup 1 Dwarven Thaumaturgist 1 Dwarven Miner 2 Mogg Flunkies 4 Fireslinger 4 Ball Lightning 1 Suq'Ata Lancer 2 Lava Hounds 3 Cursed Scroll 4 Incinerate 4 Fireblast 3 Shock 4 Wasteland 17 Mountain 1 Firestorm 2 Dwarven Miner 3 Hand to Hand 2 Rathi Dragon 4 Pyroblast 1 Dwarven Thaumaturgist 2 Shatter The deck works just as fast as standard Cursed Sligh, w/ the utility of "control" variants like Sligh 98. The Thaumaturgist works great against Tradewinds, Walls, etc., and is complemented nicely by Fireslinger. Lava Hounds go out for Rathis vs. another Sligh, Miners go in against 5CU for 'Slingers, and against other 5C decks, along w/ the Thaumaturgist. Pyroblast and SHatter are no-brainers, and Hand to Hand is for CoPs, en-Kors, etc.. I find it has some of the modality described in Schneider's "Invasion Sligh", as you can go all out, or play w/ caution and gain control of creatures or land. M.
