Subject: The TECH deck Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 10:39:11 -0700 From: Glenn Gilks To: "'fkusumot@ix.netcom.com'" Hi Frank, I played the following deck for the Vancouver Regionals. I was hopefu,l as last year, me and my friend swept the field with a rogue deck and I was hoping to do it again, alas it was not to be =\. THE TECH deck 3 hermits druids (no one kills these =) 3 geas blessing 4 walls of blossom's 4 tradewinds 1 butt monkey 4 man o wars 2 ophidians 1 Scragnoth (in retrospect he wasn't so cool) 4 counters 2 dissapates 1 disrupt 2 Sylvan library 2 firestorms(hello 5cg) 2 disenchants 2 armagedons 1 jesters cap (ya thats right standard!) 2 mox diamonds(1st turn hermits are coo) 2 gemstones 2 U. paradise 3 Reflecting pools 7 Islands 1 Plains 7 Forests I think that was the land i used.... SB 2 Scragnoths 3 chills 2 tranquil domians 1 butt mokey 1 geddon 2 terrors Um my memory fails me.. Well... The hermits geas thawing recursion is huge and unless they think I'm playing a haunting Druid deck (then they can't kill it fast enough;). The main deck cap is good. I know it's a bit chunky but recursoin and cap is "just too sweeeet"! The tradewind lock part of the deck is obvious, as is recursion and sylvan. The firestorms are good with the hermit cuz it gives you land to pitch. It is weak against shadow =\ thats what i lost too in REG's. I felt bad because this deck has such huge potential i feel and i didn't do as well as I would have hoped. I wrote this because my deck was metioned in a couple tourney reports and i thought i might give it up and see if any can have any luck with it.
