Subject: A Tempest only deck Date: Mon, 27 Oct 1997 21:36:44 -0500 From: "Crovax" To: Well, since you were kind enough to put my last deck idea on your homepage, I've come up with another version of the last one, only I think that this version is a lot better. It should be noted that this deck is for a Tempest only environment. Nature's Prison ---------------------- 4 Orim's Prayer \ 4 Humility | The combo that creates the complete lock for the deck... 3 Nature's Revolt / 4 Lotus Petal 4 Thumbscrews 4 Eladamri's Vineyard -> Just _so_ useful when the lock is out...works well with the Pegasus Refuge, and as a form of DD. 4 Pacifism -> Delays the game till you can get the combo out... 4 Pegasus Refuge -> You won't be able to cast the spells in your hand anyways... 4 Rampant Growth 3 Ancient Tomb -> 2x Generic for 2x OUCH! 4 Vec Townships 9 Forest 9 Plains Well, if you can get out the Orim's Prayer/Humility/Nature's Revolt, you will almost certainly win the game...a Tranquility will be bad news, so watch out for it...the Lotus Petals are in there to give you colored mana AFTER you have the lock out, the Rampant Growths are not only sinks for the Vineyard, but they give you more creatures to attack with, and early mana to get out the lock...the Pegasus Refuge is used as a sink for the Vineyard, and as a way for you to get rid of the useless cards in your hand once you get out the combo, and a way for you to get out more creatures than your opponent...well, as last time, I hope this deck is worthy of your homepage, thanks. check ya later, Jarrod Piccioni
