Subject: Mentally Inadequate Date: Wed, 31 Dec 1997 15:56:44 -0500 From: "Heaven, Zachary" Hello everyone, I'm attempting to make a decent Necro deck for play this weekend and am having real problems. Not with the deck, really (unless you have any praise or criticism), but with the sideboard. Let me give the deck list and see if anyone can throw in some suggestions. 03 x Necropetence 04 x Drain Life 04 x Stupor 01 x Firestorm (mass creature control - Necro up more cards) (ever seen anyone Firestorm two or three Jackal Pups?) 04 x Incinerate 03 x Diabolic Edict 04 x Nevindrral's Disk 03 x Guildmage (Tim + Bounce) 04 x Bottle Gnomes 03 x Nekrattal (187) 04 x Abyssal Specter (Card Deprivation - Bolt Bait) 02 x Stalking Stones (Mishra never hurt anyone) 02 x Undiscovered Paradise 02 x Reflecting Pool 04 x Gemstone Mine 14 x Swamp So far: 03 x Perish (bury target green deck) 02 x Boil (Instant speed housing blue decks) 02 x Phyrexian Furnace (graveyard control for gaea's blessing or living death) 02 x Dread of Night (white weenie) 02 x CoP: Red (boom boom) 03 x Disenchant (Cursed Scroll and Lock) 01 x Serenity (Same) Now, fundamentally I want to side against these decks, which swamp our area: White Weenie w/ Armor, Schneider Pox, any Green speed deck, Mono Blue Bounce, Speedy Red Geeba/Sligh(depends on who you ask) Burn Kill and Fry, and various lock decks -- Revolting Mists and Humility/Orim's Prayer w/ Gaea's. The other cards I want to consider are Coercion for buy back or lock, Aura of Silence on general purpose, and ever nice Spinning Darkness. Hey, it's a bolt and an Ancestral in one! Kind of weary because Necro makes me remove from game if I discard a card so might not be many black cards there. Other creatures include: Black Knight, Pump Knight, Dauthi brothers, and the Brothers Very Grim. Any help is much appreciated. Z
