From: davide@acekids.com Subject: Squandered Torch Deck (updated): 03 July 1997 19:04:30 -0400 Here's my deck for the type II State championships: Squandered Torches 3 Squandered Resources 4 Kaervek's Torches 4 Mana Birds 4 Mana Elves 4 Natural Balance 3 City of Solitude 3 Incinerate 4 Thunderbolt 2 Fireball 2 Disintegrate 3 Heart of Bogardan 4 Karplussan Forest 4 Gemstone Mines 8 Mountain 8 Forest Here's the sideboard: 4 Vampiric Tutors 2 Bosium Strips 4 Mana Vaults 3 Pryoblasts 2 Mana Webs The sideboard Vampiric Tutors help get 2 Natural balances into my hand. Once I get a City and two or three Natural Balances, the game's pretty much over. The cool part is that by sideboarding right, you can change the deck into a Bosium strip Burn deck for the second game while your opponent tries to deal with your old cards :o) Comments? So far the deck is 20-3-1 in tournament ( local ) play and about the same in friendly matches.
