Subject: Mr. Funny Man T2 Date: Wed, 29 Oct 1997 19:31:12 -0800 (PST) From: Aaron Forsythe To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com Here' a Tempest Type II that has been working far beyond anyone's expectations. It has posted impressive victories over Necro/Lake/Drain, 5CB, Sleigh, WW, and whatever else we could throw at it while playtesting. 1 Air Elemental 1 Skyshroud Forest 2 Tradewind Rider 2 Reflecting Pools 4 Ophidian 3 Undiscovered Paradise 4 Man-O'-War 4 City of Brass 4 Memory Lapse 5 Island 4 Impulse 6 Forest 2 Time Ebb 2 Counterspell 4 Birds of Paradise 1 Fallow Earth 1 Uktabi Orangutan 2 Firestorm 4 Incinerate 1 Pygmy Hippo 4 Winter Orb The deck is known as Mr. Funny Man because your opponent will be saying "Real funny" after you force him to draw the same card three turns in a row. It sets up an Orb lock that is really hard to get out of with ANY kind of creature deck. Firestorm is so devastating because my hand fills up with dead cards as the game progresses, plus it only costs 1. The low land count is worrisome, and I haven't finalized what type of land to run, but if you can get a first-turn Bird to stick around, you're in good shape. Stompy could be a problem, but I'm banking on the threat of Perish keeping Stompy in hiding for awhile. I plan on playing this in a tourney on 11/2; hopefully I will report victory through stall/insanity. Comments are welcome. == -- Aaron Forsythe "The Spiraling Shape will make you go insane." _____________________________________________________________________ Sent by Yahoo!
