I'm just curious - mine is U/b, so I can deal with Scragnoth if needed. In fact, here is what mine looks like: 4 Ophidian card advantage 4 Man o' War usually do most of the damage 2 Benthic Djinn usually finish the job 4 Painful Memories delay you 4 Agonizing Memories delay you 4 Time Ebb delay you 4 Memory Lapse delay you 4 Counterspell permission 3 Remove Soul permission 3 Terror creature removal 1 Sky Diamond 1 Charcoal Diamond 2 Rootwater Depths 10 Swamps 10 Islands I haven't tried it against any creatureless decks yet - I'd have a lot of wasted cards in that scenario. But against anything with many creatures, I get an insane amount of card advantage. So what do other Ophidian decks look like? --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Bob Davis | DURKWOOD BOARS: The standard against which | | rbd@ececs.uc.edu | all other Magic cards should be measured! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
