Subject: Tempest Decks Date: Mon, 20 Oct 1997 22:02:02 -0700 From: Nguyen Do Khoi To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com anyways, I was at a Tempest Prerelease way back, and I now play pure Tempest Decks. My favorite is my pure white. I started playing pure white ever since the prerelease because of a couple of reasons. One, I found lots of cool cards & combos which are easy to get. And two, I already had a buncha good cards. I love Tempest because I can't spen too much on cards, and Tempest has AMAZING commons and uncommons. And here is my pure white, pure tempest deck. Soltari Lancer x4 Staunch Defenders x1 Knight of Dawn x4 Mounted Archers x4 Elite Javelineers x4 Angelic Protector x1 Avenging Angel x2 Orim, Samite Healer x1 Oracle en Vec x1 Plain x22 Field of Souls x4 Orim's Prayer x2 Pacifism x2 Hero's resolve x4 Invulnerability x2 Essence Bottle x2 These are the combos: Avenging Angel + Field of Souls + Orim's Prayer: He attacks, you gain life, and token flying creatures, and get your angel back! Hero's Resolve + Mounted Archers: A 3/8 creature that can block two creatures each combat! Need I say more? Knight of Dawn + Hero's Resolve: Give protection from the colors the other guy's playing and deal some damage! Essence Bottle + Lots a extra mana: At the end of each of your opponents turns, add a token! You'd be surprised how fast these things add up. Gain lotsa life, and continue to, because there's no sacrifice! (Use bottle every 5 counters jus for safety) This deck is can also be vastly improved. It was made pure tempest for the fun of it. Add Crusades and enlightend tutors to make a nasty deck http://www.mendax.com/~nguyen/phongdo/
