Wanted to make a thread for the Chicago players since we are growing in numbers heh.

As soon as George gets his computer back we can start recording Multi-player Games and I can post the videos here.

Matches tend to be a lot of fun and despite how powerful someone's deck is things tend to balance out.

Matches tend to be rather dynamic since there are so many different personalities/playstyles factored in.

You have:
Compacta_d- Mr. Grand Balls to the Wall over commit but man are you going to feel the pain if this resolves George.

Shouji- Mr. Sneaky... seriously.... keep an eye out for this guy.

JustFury- Mr. I sideboard shit to beat your shit thats now shit.

Me- Aggressive Control Player imagine Taki/Ling but with cards.

ArcanaHeartNana-Aggro your face in.

Here is the deck of death George and I came up with.

Pretty Nasty capable of Turn 1 kills.

70% Chance of Turn 2 kills.

I always win Game 1 of 3. The real game is in Game 2 and 3 where sideboard becomes a huge threat to the deck.

Here is the new deck list.
Linked below is the visual list so you don't have to look up the cards.

Phil is actually more Control all day then win condition. The only diff between him and other control players is that he is at least interesting. He's Mr. Top-Deck. Always assume he has an answer for anything you do, because he does. It's almost like he just makes the shit up, except you know he doesn't because the cards are real.
He's like the actual character of Yugi-oh.

Well most Control players are never doing damage till turn like 8.

I tend to always have a threat early on the board or some sort of impending doom :P

I'll admit though... Concerning that Dredge deck... if my opponent doesn't have graveyard hate or some sort of way to deal with the Bazaar... it is a very boring match for them. At least it doesn't go past 2 or 3 turns though.

This thread will be good if one of you guys are looking to borrow cards to build whatever.

Hmmm, i dont think i want to play anyone where losing on turn 2 is possible...

Call me crazy.

(crazy)

On Saturday the pre release for Zendikar is gonna be at the Regency in Rosemont. Wizards is doing some offical type deal there, gonna be quite large if anyone wants to go.

Dredge Deck has been updated.

Essentially the deck has Main Decked answers to handle any hate that happens to come its way while not compromising the ability for a turn 2 kill.

Leyline of the Void helps out in a mirror match as well as ensures that nothing happens to Bridge from Below if I need to kill my opponents creatures.

Emerald Charm has tons of uses:
Untaps Bazaar of Baghdad
Destroys Opponents Leyline of the Void, Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Faith’s Fetters.

Petrified Field is solid for returning whatever land I need to my hand:
Bazaar of Baghdad
City of Brass

The sideboard is rather good. With ways to destroy creatures and artifacts even if the cards hit the graveyard.
