Gathering
Deck Garage
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
Open
M(ag)ic
Night
here
in
BMoor's
Garage.
We've
got
some
great
acts
lined
up
for
you
tonight,
so
please,
direct
your
attention
to
the
center
lift
where
we're
proud
to welcome
back the
comedic
stylings
of
Sean,
from
NY!
Sean, from NY ladies and gentlemen! Let's give him a big hand! After all, those Scrollkeepers will let him hold onto it!
Alright, alright, settle down. Fixing Magic decks is easy; comedy is hard. But Sean's right, it is easier when you've got a captive audience, so let's put in a few Ghostly Prison. What can come out to make room? That's the joke; I don't know. Your extensive bounce is probably more important, and counterspells are always a cut-up. But the key to comedy is timing, so drop the sorcery Eye of Nowhere for the Prisons. We want instant-speed bounce to pull out the rug at just the right moment, so take out Wall of Spears in exchange for Temporal Adept, who can turn a one-liner into a running gag.
Now we've got a heavy commitment to Blue, but still are relying on White. That's a sick joke to play on our mana base, so here's the trick-- instead of Ghostly Prison, use Cover of Winter and switch all the basic lands for snow lands. Then get 4 Boreal Flats as the perfect dual land. That makes for a better homage to ol' Jess, since he was a product of the Ice Age anyway. You could also try some Hallowed Fountain or Azorius Chancery, but why spoil the fun with those rigid, party-pooping bureaucrats? They wouldn't know a good joke if they requisitioned one; no way they'd let a comedy act into their Chanceries. Though they might provide an adequate backdrop with their Dovescape-- after all, nobody likes a heckler, right?
Well, the first rule of good comedy is always leave them wanting more, so thank you very much, tip your waitresses, and good night!
