The greatest U/B deck on earf!
13 years ago
So I've created my magnum opus, my ultimate creation. It's fucking evil. Everything about it is positively dripping with vileness. I took the Pegasus idea and ran with it, then I discovered Consult the Necrosages and subsequently dumped white.
Without further ado:
(Creatures x 12)
Architects of Will x4
Dimir Cutpurse x4
Lurking Informant x4
(Spells x 24)
Consult the Necrosages x4
Recoil x4
Frightful Delusion x4
Countersquall x4
Vapor Snag x4
Preordain x4
I debated on whether to use Neurok Invisimancer or not, but finally decided not to and just to stay with 8 counters and 8 bounce spells. Also it turned out to be almost mono blue, although about a third of the cards are still multicolored.
Once I found Frightful Delusion I realized how terrifying it would be to have it played 3rd turn, then I knew that I had to make a control/discard deck. The main strategy is to bounce and then discard or counter (and discard!) when they replay their creature. Recoil can also bounce an annoying permanent (again discard!) and then I can counter it when it's replayed (and discard, again). Vapor Snag and Counter squall whittle down life slowly, while Dimir Cutpurse and Necrosages give me insane card advantage.
Finally the win strategy is to use Architects of Will and Lurking Informant (I like to think he works for the architects :D) to shut down their top deck, the informant being like a mini architects, but if I use them together I could decide what cards to rearrange or even if my opponent gets a particular one or not. By the 6th turn they should be hopelessly out of cards and drawing nothing except lands while I have a near full hand full of counters and bounce spells that both discard.
This should be epic, I can't wait to destroy with mah new baby.
...and no, it doesn't die to removal... motherfucker

I tweaked Coatl last night, putting my only copy of Dismember that I could find in it. Today I rode over on Kitscune to Games HQ for another Tuesday casual tournament. I won the first 2 rounds, the first being that one chick that is still learning how to play, and the 2nd round to this guy using a green/white human/spirit token deck. Then in typical Coatl fashion, it went all Michigan J. Frog on me and choked playing against Hmmbidius and his red/black vamp deck, as if it was saying to me, "Look brah, you won 2 rounds, that's 8 bucks of booster packs for $6. We net gained, I'm done."
Still, I had a fun night for what will probably be my last Tuesday off ever, as I think my schedule is switching to Wednesdays and Thursdays off now. I get paid Thursday, but I'm working during the prerelease. /sadface
Undermines or not, I'm going to put a slendy into my first actual deck.
Also, I THINK on Friday Howard is waiting for midnight for the Avacyn Restored prerelease, as supposedly he is doing a casual tournament first, and if so, I might be able to make the prerelease after work. Devon said if it is going down like that, he'd most likely take me to and from work that day so I could get there faster. I'm gonna call Howard tomorrow to see what's up.
Also, I downloaded the new app Wizards put out (the one at the top of the page in the gatherer). It's AWESOME, I built Coatl in it, did a test hand: 2 Islands, 1 Forest, 2 Coatls, 1 Noble Hierarch & Canopy Cover. I jizzed.
