Sailor Gourmet Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hello, all. Well, I've been toying around with the idea of a UG madness deck for a while now, and decided to make one for an upcoming legacy tournament in my town. It isn't perfect, but it seems to run smoothly. 21 Creatures 4 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=201836]Basking Rootwalla[/url] 4 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=201826]Wild Mongrel[/url] 4 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=34465]Aquamoeba[/url] 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=12623]Arrogant Wurm[/url] 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220179]Merfolk Looter[/url] 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=247293]Wonder[/url] 17 Spells 4 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=247331]Brainstorm[/url] 4 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=29727]Careful Study[/url] 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=32237]Deep Analysis[/url] 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=34368]Circular Logic[/url] 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=29881]Roar of the Wurm[/url] 22 Lands 8 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=31627]Forest[/url] 10 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=31614]Island[/url] 4 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=174950]Seaside Citadel[/url] Suggestions made to me for this deck are: [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=241831]Mana Leak[/url] [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=247302]Mulldrifter[/url] [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=89019]Golgari Brownscale[/url] [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=29784]Nimble Mongoose[/url] [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=29785]Werebear[/url] [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=39578]Gigapede[/url] [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=34398]Riftstone Portal[/url] Basic idea, use Mongrel, Aquamoeba, and Looter to send cards to the graveyard to activate their cheaper Madness or Flashback costs, get Wonder in the grave to have all my creatures fly and swoop in for game as quickly as possible. If you have fixes or suggestions, you are welcome to post them. But please, no expensive fixes. I have a tight budget, and a couple of $14 cards are enough to send me over. Thanks much.

Sailor Gourmet Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks. I added that a while ago, and I just didn't get to editing my post. And there it is! Wait, you have a madness deck somewhere? Sorry, man. Still, you gotta laugh at the coincidence. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelds9 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Looks relatively solid, maybe add another Merfolk Looter? That is all I can see that needs improvement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Gourmet Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Eh, I would, but another looter seems to give the deck a bit of a superfluous amount of draw power. I already have Brainstorm and Deep Analysis to net me the cards I need. Anyway, I showed this deck to my buddy, and he suggested a complete overhaul of the deck, only keeping the backbone of Rootwalla, Mongrel, Looter, Wonder, Analysis, and Study. All the Wurms, Brainstorms, and Aquamoebas had to be extracted. This was the new deck afterwards: 4 Basking Rootwalla 4 Wild Mongrel 4 Merfolk Looter 4 Nimble Mongoose 4 Wonder 4 Careful Study 4 Circular Logic 3 Mana Leak 2 Deep Analysis 3 Gitaxian Probe 3 Forest 7 Island 4 Seaside Citadel 2 Simic Growth Chamber 4 Terramorphic Expanse 4 Evolving Wilds Hope you don't mind the absence of links. If you want some, I'll be happy to add some. So, do you guys think I should keep the old deck above or go on with this new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelds9 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 IDK most of the cards in there. I cannot say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Gourmet Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Well, then, here are some links for the cards in the new deck that were not mentioned in the deck in the OP, in which you can find links.

shelds9 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Gitaxian Probe isn't an amazing card in this Deck IMO. Maybe neg 1 for a Gigapede and neg 4 Mongoose for 4 Werebear. They are better IMO. You need more Madness cards IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ponder feels much more versalite than Probe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Gourmet Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Should I add these to the newer deck or the existing deck in the OP? Which do you think has more potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lightray Daedalus- Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well...I'm not making another thread so I'll post my UG Madness here so it can also help your k?

Sailor Gourmet Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Alright then, after a week or so of tweaking, here it is! 22 Creatures 4 Basking Rootwalla 4 Wild Mongrel 4 Wistful Selkie 3 Man O' War 4 Merfolk Looter 3 Wonder 15 Spells 4 Brainstorm 3 Deep Analysis 3 Circular Logic 4 Rune Snag 1 Roar of the Wurm 23 Lands 3 Forest 8 Island 4 Evolving Wilds 2 Yavimaya Coast 4 Seaside Citadel New additions to the deck are put in links below. The rest of the cards can be found in the OP or my other posts in this thread. I decided to take out the Careful studies due to the fact that I was missing pure drawing power, not having to discard constandtly to get card advantage. I also wanted some annoyance, so I put in some Man O' War for bouncing. With that, I added Evolving Wilds as a fetchland for my basics, and Rune Snag since It seemed to work better than Mana leak. I took out the Arrogant Wurms since they seemed a bit slow to play, and just added 1 Roar of the Wurm as a game-finisher. Any more comments are appreciated. I am still tweaking the deck as we speak.
