hey, here's a deck i've been trying out occaisionally for extended...I wanted
to submit it and see if anyone could offer tips on it. here goes:

RED:
4x Sudden Impact
4x Lightning Bolt
2x Hammer of Bogardan
2x Earthquake
1x Fork

GREEN:
4x Storm Seeker
4x Birds of Paradise

BLUE:
4x Man o' War
4x Arcane Denial
2x Prosperity

GOLD:
3x Stormbind

ARTIFACT:
4x Howling Mine
1x Bosium Strip

LAND:
4x Taiga
4x Tropical Island
4x Volcanic Island
4x Gemstone Mine
2x Mishra's Factory
2x Mountain

The basic idea should be pretty clear: get out the Howling Mines, and use the
Storm Seekers and Sudden Impacts to beat up on your opponent. At the same
time, use the many cards you will be drawing to power the Stormbind. The
Earthquakes, Bolts and Hammers are for keeping creature swarms at bay, and can
also be used to push your opponent into range of a 7-8 point Seeker/Impact.
The Man o' Wars serve as creature control, and can get you that extra point of
damage out of a Seeker/Impact. The Bosium Strip works well, since it can
affect over 1/3 of my deck. The most impressive way to off your opponent is to
Prosperity for a few cards, dump extras into the stormbind to damage your
opponent, then hit them with a Seeker/Impact right after they draw (hopefully
2-3 cards, with Howling Mines out). One of my favorite plays was when my
opponent cast Meditate to draw four cards...So on both of my turns i hit him
with a storm seeker. Made him think twice about that card...At any rate, it
does fairly well so far in testing, but i'd like some input. Many thanks!
