Could somebody be awesome and post these as .dck files???

Just thought I'd post my 2 current favourite decklists (although I get bored quickly, so maybe not for long!) since similar decks haven't been posted here yet:

I tried both decks and they are very nice to play .

I LOVE the dragon deck, I've never played anything like it before. I haven't tried the elves deck yet, as I have played a lot with elves (although your build looks a lot better than the one I was using). BTW was 61 cards intentional with the dragon deck?

EDIT: I tried the elves deck. It looked a lot better, and it didn't disappoint. I was dubious of your claim that it usually wins on turn 3; now I think you are being modest!

[somacat]

The 61 cards wasn't intentional, per se... but alot of my decks have 61 cards. I always find it hard to make that last cut Glad you guys like the decks though, I might post some more soon

[jackthelad]

These decks are mental. I prefer the dragon one, even though the elves on is probably more consistent, just because the games are shorter (real time). And the novelty of using super power dragons that I've never used before.

BTW Have you got any decks with sundering titan as the focus?

[somacat]

Yeah, the elf deck can be a little fiddly - there's alot of clicking involved (especially if you don't have an active Priest and are getting all your mana from Nettle Sentinels). I probably perfer the other deck for the same reason, but both are fun

No Titan deck as of yet I'm afraid, but since I have the day off work (more or less), I'll see if I can throw something together. Pity there's no Goblin Welder though, that's the best card to abuse Titan with

[jackthelad]

Yeah, I did have a look online, but most seem to rely heavily on a goblin welder.
Can you deck yourself with glimpse of nature/skullclamp? Do you only lose the game on your next draw phrase? Or do you lose the moment you are unable to draw? I've forgotten a lot of the MTG rules....too long playing yugioh games on the ds........which will never happen again, now that I have found this game!

[somacat]

Yeah, you can deck yourself with Glimpse or Clamp. If the deck is getting low, and you are still missing either the Coat of Arms or Concordant Crossroads you need to win that turn, it is best to make sure you draw the exact amount of cards in your deck, either by playing Visionary instead of another elf maybe, or deciding whether or not to use another Glimpse. I haven't had a situation yet where I couldn't draw to exactly 0 cards, which is great because Coat or Crossroads always seems to be the last card

And, onto the real reason I'm here: My first pass at a Titan deck. It could use a little bit of work, but it's still reasonable and seems like a decent shell:

.1906 4 Sundering Titan
.351 4 Entomb
.1960 4 Exhume

.499 1 Brainstorm
.1351 1 Tinker

.1308 1 Platinum Angel
.169 1 Mox Sapphire

.166 1 Mox Jet
.165 1 Mox Emerald
.157 1 Mana Vault
.894 1 Mana Crypt
.17 1 Black Lotus
.1216 3 Seat of the Synod
.1215 3 Vault of Whispers
.1924 1 Recurring Nightmare
.538 3 Triskelion
.403 3 City of Brass
.1881 1 Sharuum the Hegemon
.1815 4 Master Transmuter
.258 4 Underground Sea
.333 1 Vampiric Tutor

Master Transmuter functions in the Welder role, as does Recurring Nightmare. And Sharuum is pretty good with Buried Alive

EDIT: Gifts Ungiven is rather bugged unfortunately. I'd add another Sharuum in it's place. The deck has been working pretty well for me so far, but it's not very polished. And it probably wants Gorilla Shaman somewhere to deal with opponent moxen

[jackthelad]

wait.....using the master transmuter, can you return the titan and then put the same titan back into play?? Seems pretty sweet! I'll give it a try. BTW How long have you been playing magic somacat?
p.s. I hadn't realised until now that you could count the number of cards left in your library by right clicking!

[somacat]

Yep, the transmuter trick works And I've been playing for ages, since Tempest, so thats about 12 or 13 years? Was one of the top ranked players in Australia, too, until Nationals last year killed my ratings Stupid life taking away all my playtesting time!

[jatill]

Re: Elves deck-
I use basically the same deck, but with Birchlore Rangers + Tendrils of Agony for the kill. It makes the combo slightly less clicking

[aww1979]

I found this deck on the internet (with a slight change to mana base due to no gemstone mine or underground river in-game) and the first game I played against the AI I had a first turn kill... (2 memory jar effects with megrim out at end of turn) or would have, except for there is a bug with megrim and memory jar where you only take 2 damage instead of 2 per card. So, it'll suck bad until that gets fixed, and then it will rock.

Anyway, here goes. It's by Randy Buehler and Eric Lauer. The following is a copy of the *.dck file, just paste this into notepad and save as "buehler lauer memory jar.dck" in the playdeck directory. I'm not sure what format it is or when it ran, since there are 9 currently restricted cards with multiple copies in this deck, but it works well nonetheless, and must have been legal at some point.

[somacat]

That deck was from extended a ways back, and was legal for about a week. IIRC, it lead to the only emergency banning in the history of Magic, when they banned Broken Jar mid season

[Juzam Djinn]

I remember my brother exchanging so much cards to get the MegrimJar-Deck together an when he got all cards for the deck Memory Jar was banned .
