Subject: [G-TECH] Mindless Automaton and Oath of Ghouls? Date: 30 Aug 1998 02:14:51 GMT From: aexia@u.washington.edu (Micheal Keane) Newsgroups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy Oath of Ghouls and Da Man would appear to be a perfect match... just slot them into a black weenie deck... and you have a Black weenie rush deck with enough strength to hold off quick rushes but long-term staying power to off other decks. And of course, the major benefit: it gets around light of day and other black hosers. Hmmm... an off the top of my head listing... Plenty of cheap weenies to feed the Oath and Scroll and hold off the rush(or possiblely, win with just the rush!). Sideboard to taste to make the deck more versatile. 4 Oath of Ghouls 4 Mindless Automaton 4 Cursed Scroll 12 Black Shadow Weenies(Horror, Slayer, Warlord) 4 Carnophage 4 Blood Pet 4 Keeper of the Dead 4 Sarcomancy 4 Dark Ritual 16 Swamp Da Man is just amazing... he can go anywhere these days. Think the DCI will Ban Da Man when every T2 deck worth its salt is using 4 of him? BTW, here's a major money saving tip. There's a guy on the sales newsgroup selling Da Man for 50 cents! Yes, you read right. I recently picked up 4 of them from him so it's for real. -- Micheal (Chris) Keane, Political Science, University of Washington Associate Professor of Psychogravitational Analysis, University of Ediacara Join the Church of Last Thursday and worship Queen Maeve! http://weber.u.washington.edu/~aexia/thursday.htm
