MarbleZone Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Million of players would rage if Wizards messed with the colour pie like that, unless the block was banned from constructed play like Unhinged and Unglued. :/ It'd be innovative, but it'd go completely against the very definition of colours, and while some may find that refreshing (myself included), I assure you most of the community would RAAAAEEG. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right...I noticed that the 3 top colors were all featured in Jund decks. Jund decks die when Blightning and bloodraid no longer exist. Red has ALWAYS been the strongest color, its one of the most used colors (Red deck wins, Jund, I've even seen some in mythic conscription). White is absolutely amazing because not only can it counter really well, it also has day of judgement and all of those amazing 1 white mana spells (Condemn, Silence, Path, etc...) It too is featured in the strongest sets. Blue has counters, flying, milling, and tons of drawing. It's usefulness is that it can be used in many decks and still be amazing. Black has tons of creature destruction and is good against any color (other than black, which is quite a strange weakness). The thing is, black isn't as fast as red or white and it can't stop as much as blue can. Green is my favorite color but, sadly, it really isn't doing too well right now. It used to be great with the other sets. In theory its way better than in practice (Mana Ramp + Swarm + Power up). It can't stop anything at all (hornet sting really won't remove any threat at all). Green is almost never chosen in draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 So M11 comes out today. Any one going to the event. I think I'm going to be their, but I'm not going to be part of it. I have other things I need to do today and don't have as much time for it. I'm mainly going to get some more packs, see the single cards the store has, and look at what people have to trade.

Yes its the Ravnica Block, and no you don't pm you deck to Flame Dragon you post it so everyone can vote for it if they like it. Only thing you pm is your vote which is to the judge which would be me for this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any block in particular you want to judge? Also, I just got back from camp everyone! Sorry I missed the start of the contest, but apparently it goes until a week from yesterday? I might not be able to get a deck in because I'm so busy I don't even have much time to look at cards right now. I'll try to get a deck in though.

-Genesis- Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 YES! At the M11 debut I pulled a Platinum Angel, Mitotic Slime, Serra Ascendant, Leyline of Sanctity, Phylactery Lich, and Necrotic Plague! And those are just the rares! I also bought some Rise of Eldrazi Packs and pulled Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Nirkana Revnant, World at War, Gelatinous Genesis, Kazandu Tuskcaller, Tajuru Preserver, and Mortician Beetle! And again these are just the rares! I also bought the Archenemy deck Scourge the World in Dragonfire! Annoyingly in the M11 draft one person pulled Chandra Nalaar and another pulled Ajani Goldmane and neither was mine. But hey I'm happy with what I got. Also for the deck contest can we do more than a guild? I mean do we have to build a dual colored deck or can we go tri-colored? Just curious.

Btw grats on the Platinum Angel and the Phylactery Lich I like em both i should try and get em. Edit: Sixty3Zero your accepted unless someone says otherwise.

You can build it as you like there are a few rules that aren't to hard to follow really. Rules:One week deadline to construct your deck for the block chosen.Ban and limited list not applied.Post your deck list and a small description on what its supposed to do.Everyone submites a vote for a deck other then there own to the judge.

My friend got both of those back to back. Any way, I just got packs. I first got 4, pulled Leyline of Vitality, Birds of Paradise, Elvish Archdruid, and Baneslayer. I tried another 4, only decent cards I got were Stormtide Leviathan and Silence. I tried a couple more time, and didn't get anything note worthy.

Sixty Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I might as well post my deck that I use. NOT for the contest. This deck is pretty infamous where I play. Casual, doesn't follow any lists, really. [spoiler=Untouchable Elves]Creatures [34]4 Llanowar Elves4 Nettle Sentinel4 Taunting Elf3 Krosan Drover3 Heritage Druid3 Fierce Empath3 Phage the Untouchable3 Birchlore Rangers3 Manaforge Cinder2 Elves of Deep Shadow2 Regal Force Spells & Artifacts [11]4 Dark Ritual3 Nameless Inversion3 Elsewhere Flask1 Weird Harvest Lands [16]13 Forest5 Swamp3 Gilt-Leaf Palace Pretty much the fastest Phage deck around. Basically uses the large amounts of mana the elves make to play Phage quickly; attack with Phage and Taunting Elf the next turn for game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
