A couple new decks that Ive been tinkering with
Posted: 17 Jun 2009, 17:02Notions of Survival
60 Total Cards
17 Creatures
-------------
2x Groundbreaker
2x Horde of Notions
1x Lord of Extinction
3x Mulldrifter
2x Shriekmaw
2x Skullmulcher
2x Spawnwrithe
1x Thornling
2x Urborg Syphon-Mage
23 Spells
----------
1x Ancestral Recall
1x Beacon of Unrest
4x Darksteel Ingot
4x Eladamri's Call
1x Enlightened Tutor
1x Lightning Greaves
1x Liliana Vess
1x Mox Emerald
1x Mox Jet
1x Mox Pearl
1x Mox Ruby
1x Mox Sapphire
2x Sensei's Divining Top
2x Survival of the Fittest
1x Timetwister
20 Land
--------
4x Flagstones of Trokair
4x Plateau
4x Savannah
4x Scrubland
4x Tundra
The idea here is fairly simple and was inspired by the addition of Survival of the Fittest to Forge. Build up all 5 colors of mana using the flagstones to tutor for the duals aided by the Moxen. Use Horde of Notions to recurse good creatures. Urborg Syphon Mage is an alternative win and a way to discard creatures if you don't get the Survival out. Unfortunately there are cards in this deck that the AI can't figure out how to play correctly so this is a strictly human deck.
Another deck:
Draw Dead.
60 Total Cards
32 Creatures
-------------
4x Dragon Broodmother
4x Eternal Witness
4x Hystrodon
4x Mycoloth
4x Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind
4x Skullmulcher
4x Tradewind Rider
4x Wall of Blossoms
4 Spells
----------
1x Ancestral Recall
1x Mox Emerald
1x Mox Sapphire
1x Timetwister
24 Land
--------
4x Breeding Pool
2x Forest
1x Island
1x Library of Alexandria
4x Stomping Ground
4x Taiga
4x Tropical Island
4x Volcanic Island
This deck abuses three things: token generation, tradewind riders bounce and draw. Sadly this deck just rolls over the AI without much resistance no matter what it plays but on the bright side it seems to work pretty well as an AI deck.
