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." |
