Subject: Critique my Frenetic Hammer deck Date: 9 Nov 1997 00:17:56 GMT From: Sean Moore Red/Blue Frenetic Hammer v1.0 Counters Board Control 4 Dismiss 4 Incinerate 2 Earthquake 4 Counterspell 4 Kindle 2 Hammers 2 Dissipate 2 Nevinyrral's Disk 2 Man-o'-War Kill Mechanism Library Manipulation 4 Frenetic Efreet 2 Ophidian 2 Hammer of Bogarden 3 Impulse 3 Whispers of the Muse Land Sideboard 10 Island 3 Pyroblast 2 Serrated Biskelion 8 Mountain 3 Hydroblast 2 Maze of Shadows 4 Quicksand 3 Havoc 2 Nevinyrral's Disk Some Notes -I plan to replace 2 Islands and 2 Mountains with Caldera Lakes -The major debate when constructing the deckwas between Man-o'-War or another Impulse and another Whispers of the Muse. Man-o'-War helps me to counter quick fatties such as Hidden Horror and Nettletooth Djinn(!) -The sideboard is pretty experimental right now. Biskelions and Mazes will prob'ly end up being removed for another pair of 'Quakes and ??. -Propaganda does not work in this type of deck. I tried it and it worked only occasionally, meaning when the opponent was mana-screwed. Maybe in the SB with Intuition to combat Stompy and Sligh? - I'd like to add more Ophies and/or Man-o'-Wars, but there doesn't seem to be room. What do you think could be removed for them? -- Thanks, ____ _ _ / ___| ___ ^ | \ | | | |__ / _| / \ | \ | | \___ \ /_ / * \ | | \| | __| | _| / /^\ \| |\ | | |____/\ \_ /_/ \_\_| \__| \__| Sean
