03-26-05 - Why I Run What I Run.
 

Hello my babies. Imagonnadoanarticleaboutmydeck.

 

 

Yeah, reason being is that my ideas are labled "controversial" on DMrealms. Because I hate Brain Serum, I love Searing Wave, and I think Blue/Green is overrated. (the latter is not so big these days)

 

 

So, heres the latest deck I ran for a tournament.

 

"18x Blue Creatures

4x Corile

4x Aqua Hulcus

2x Emeral

2x Crystal Lancer

2x Illusionary Merfolk

2x Aqua Guard

2x Aqua Jolter

 

4x Blue Spells

4x Spiral Gate

 

10x Green Creatures

4x Bronze Arm Tribe

2x Torcon

2x Fighter Dual Fang

2x Barkwhip the Smasher

 

6x Green Spells

4x Natural Snare

2x Mana Nexus

 

7x Red Spells

4x Searing Wave

3x Rikabu"

 

Little Timmy McNoob:

 

NFG!!!!11 NFG!!111!

 

You can't run red in this deck! Red is for rush only!

 

NFG:

 

Yes, Timmy, you sure can. Most decks consist of 3/4 to 4/5 of their monsters being weiners, or monsters under 3000 power. I was talking to Will5869, a respected member of DMRealms, about Brain Serum netting you a two card advantage, instead of Crystal Memory balancing out. Searing Wave nets you a minimum of (-1) advantage, but most of the time you will either balance out or gain at least 1-2. Rikabus are in there so I can make sure I have enough red to Searing Wave, and also for an early shield, and possible game winner.

 

Little Timmy McNoob:

 

Oh, but NFG! The only good decks are the deck that run four Brain Serums! Thats what random 300 post guy on my forum said!

 

NFG:

 

Oh, poor Timmy, you've been suckered into a little something called Popular Metagame. This is what drug dealers and crack addicts want you to follow. I'm gonna put on my glove of reality and slap the crap out of you. *SLAPOLA!* Does that feel better?

 

Little Timmy McNoob:

 

Yes, NFG, it sure does. Brain Serum is not good!

 

NFG:

 

Good job Little Timmy, I think I'm gonna change you name now. I deem you BIG TIMMY McAWESOME

 

 

 

The point of this dialogue is to educate you guys on how this game is not won by sheer draw, but by control. Or a nice balance, I would rather gain a body with my draw, like Merfolk. Or grab exactly what I want with Crystal Memory. I really don't know what else to say.

 

A wise man, the Grand Inquisitor, once said to me:

 

" I've tried to tell you, the online meta can't handle Searing Waves in a non - Red deck. They'll look at it and their heads will explode."
