Subject: TEMPEST DECKS *HOT*

Here are three Type-2 Legal tournament decks, after the Tempest rotation.  
It's a bit early for this sort of thing, as it hasn't even been officially 
released yet, but they are essentially re-iterations of the strong decks 
of the last 4 months or so...I used Senor StOmPy, Sligh, Buried Alive, 5cG, 
4cB, Forgotten Orb... all the strong deck-archetypes, except for the control 
decks (Big Blue, Prison ..though it was in mind for one of them!.., and of 
course C/Post and C/Burn).  Perhaps more on that later, I've had some ideas 
for a mostly-mono-blue ophidibastard-style deck.

Here you go; first two are strong, last one is kinda experimental, really 
needs playtesting.

--------------------------------
Tempestuous Sligh!

4x Mogg Fanatic
4x Jackal Pup
3x Canyon Wildcat
4x IronClaw Orcs
4x Ball Lighning
4x Orcish Artillery
2x Rathi Dragon
4x Incinerate
3x Thunderbolt
3x Fireblast

2x Meditate

4x Wastelands
14x Mountains
4x Caldera Lake

(Experimentation may show the need to use Cities of Brass rather than Caldera 
Lakes, or a combination of Cities/Gemstones, to allow for enchantment-D and 
Forsaken Wastes in the SB. Bad Humility!)
SB should include Wildfire Emmisaries to replace Rathi Dragons if Blue becomes 
popular.

------------------------------
4cG StAtIc StOmPy

4x Static Orb
4x Quirion Ranger
3x Wall of Roots
3x Birds of Paradise
4x Maro
1x Uktabi Orangutang
2x Granger Guildmage
4x Jolrael's Centaur

4x Man o' War
1x Knights of the Mist
4x Memory Lapse

2x Incinerate

1x Derelor
1x Terror

11x Forests
3x City of Brass
4x Undiscovered Paradise
4x Wastelands

---------------------------------
ErTog / Living Death

4x ErTaI's FaMiLiAr
4x Man o' War
4x Sage Owl (better than Impulse here ;)

4x Nekretaal
4x Black Knight
4x NeCrOtOg

4x Altar of Dementia
4x LiViNg DeAtH
4x Dark Ritual
4x Phyrexian Furnace

4x Bad River
4x Underground River
4x Islands
8x Swamps


This one's still formative, but that's the basic deck concept.
Myself, I'm leaning towards the Static Orb deck.  *Strong*.

"Too late to turn back now, I'm running out of sound
and I am changing, changing...
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
is here with you...
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace here with you
would you leave me too?"
