Subject: Recycle-Deck. Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 01:52:21 -0700 From: andrew baran To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Recycle most definitly is one of the most powerfull green enchantments ever. Heres a try at abusing its power. 4 Recycle 4 Vampiric Tutors 4 Sqandered Resources 4 Natural Balance 4 Dark Ritual 4 Lotus Petal 4 Summer Bloom 4 Geas Blessing 2 City of Solitude 1 Caderverous Bloom 1 Drain Life 1 Doomsday 4 Gemstone Mines 10 Swamps 9 Forests I guess this looks a bit wierd. This deck is focused on playing a Recycle early. In playtesting it went of as early as round 3 now and then. Consider: 1st turn. Swamp 2nd turn. Forest. Sqandered Resources. 3rd turn. Natural Balance. Recycle. Summer Bloom. Ritual... Lotus Petal.. and start blessing the cards that you will need again. Even a "worse" starting scenario such as: 1st turn. Swamp. Then end of opponents turn Tutor for Sqandered. 2nd turn. Forest. Sqandered. 3rd turn. Gemstone Mine. 4rd turn. Dark Ritual. Recycle. Summer Bloom. Further considering the fact that you will often not have to start the Engine that early unless pressed the chance of running out are usualy very low. Cards which will surely appear in the sideboard include further Cities of Solitude, Elephant Grass, Coerion and Perish. You will surely have as much fun playing this deck as you have playing a Bloom Deck. ;) Coffein level low, Syren Baran.
