Ladies and Gentlemen,

Normally I do not post decks on the net and ask for opinions.  I am the type
who would rather lose than play somebody else's deck (you know who you losers
are, that's right all you people who play stompy, sligh, necro, prospbloom,
etc.).  But after this weekend I've "had all I can stands and I can't stands no
more".  My ranking (type II/standard) used to be in the 200's now I rest in
relative obscurity at the number 2142 spot (still not bad considering we're
talking hundreds of thousands of sanctioned players).  Through the years of
achieving this ranking I've always played a deck I could call my own.  But now
it has gotten increasingly more difficult.  I believe the partial reason for
this is the internet.  There is no way in hell John Doe who used to play with
Craw Wurms is beating me with his own well designed stompy deck.  Anyway enough
bitching on with the deck.  Intelligent inputs only, please.  (That means all
you people playing copy decks need not reply).  Thanks...

Propahaups or Haupaganda (place your votes now)

Red
4 Incinerates (Of Course)
4 Kindles (Not sure about this one any replacement options?)
4 Mogg Fanatics (Just awesome)
4 Keeper of Kookus (Needed a one casting cost creature)
3 Canyon Wilcats (Decent Creature)
4 Earthquakes (Card advantage plus direct damage)
2 Fireblasts (Works nice with the haups or as game closer)
2 Jokulhaups (Needed because the deck is named after it)

Blue
3 Merfolk Raiders (Needed a 2 casting cost blue creature/works well with haups)
2 Mystical Tutors (Go get the haups or an earthquake or an incinerate...)
4 Propaganda (Read Jokulhaups above)

Gold
2 Frenetic Efreets (Also works well with haups about 50 percent of the time)

Land
11 Mountains
9 Islands
2 Undiscovered Paradises

The idea is simple.  Pummel, pound, and strike as quick as you can.  Lay out a
harmless looking propaganda occasionally.  Then when you start to run out of
steam tutor for the haups.  Start again (with propagandas now in play).  Repeat
ad naseum.  What do you think.  Let me know.  Thanks....
