needs abit more refining, but hey it got the job done.

[discoransom]

Dude


I took a different approach to this challenge- using more lords. You might think I'm a lunatic for leaving this out...but I didn't play Priest of Titania.

Of course, the eight freebies

4 Dryad Arbor
4 Elvish Spirit Guide

The infinite elves package

4 Heritage Druid
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Birchlore Ranger
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Wirewood Symbiote

13 Lords

4 Elvish Archdruid
4 Imperious Perfect
3 Elvish Champion
2 Joraga Warcaller

The mana dorks

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Llanowar Elves

The draw bomb

3 Regal Force

And the Stallmaster General

4 Wren's Run Vanquisher



For some reason this gets it done, and I rarely felt like I wanted a Priest of Titania. I'm not playing this challenge again, but if I were I might play two of her.

Hi guys, this is my fist post... first sorry for my bad bad english and thx for this and the previous topics for the challenge set #1.

Im having a little trouble with Super Mulligan, my Manalink is fully updated so i cant use Contract, I also tried a 40 cards dredge deck but 40 card decks goes to an auto-loss when Supper-Mulligan beguins.

Im trying a 60 card dredge deck that i used to beat epic and what hand but man.... its so hard, any of you guys revisited this challenge and had any clues?

thx, and cya!

[stassy]

Im trying a 60 card dredge deck that i used to beat epic and what hand but man.... its so hard, any of you guys revisited this challenge and had any clues?

I beat it originally with contract, but I beat that challenge later with a dredge deck. The secret to 'super mulligan' is that the cards you see in your hand before the game starts will be the first cards you draw that game.

For example if your opening hand is Swamp Island Island Island Island Island Forest, the top seven cards will be those seven, but I forget whether you will draw the first card (swamp in this case) or the seventh (forest); just play one test game and check which way it goes.

Therefore, what I did (and what I strongly recommend you do for this one) is that you play the dredge deck, mulligan until bazaar of baghdad shows up, and then play. Once you draw the bazaar, you should be fine; I've won dredge games even after mulliganing to ONE card, as long as that card is bazaar :p

The other suggestion would be to include Serum Powder if you have unlocked that card; it makes it more likely you'll get that bazaar in your opening hand. (which will then be placed on top of your library)

hey im fighting against Land Ho challenge cant beat more than 1 or 2 opponents =( and btw, how i do activate Desert?

EDIT;// ok ... i can activate Desert now.. i dont get it

[damoxx]

Whew!! Finally beat Land Ho! without any glitches (that I noticed).

Thanks to Jatill for his list, which is what mine was based off of. Petrified field was a nice addition. It recurred strip mines, factories and gargoyle castles. I think the key to playing the deck is when to mulligan. I looked for a tabernacle and either treetop village or mishra's factory. A combination of these two when a long way to beat the swarm decks.

Anyway, here is my list:
