v0rac10u5’s Deck Garage
Darkfall

April 14, 2008

Hi v0rac10u5.
My name is Bruno and I write to you from Portugal. You know that little country in the west side of Europe?

So I'm playing for some time MtG Duel of the Planeswalkers. Yeah I know the game as already ten years, but when you don't have the time or money it's still good fun. I've found a deck in the game that I like very much, and I'm trying to bring it to real life and give it a good update, to play with it in standard. I could spend a moderate sum to make it a nice deck.Here it is:

20x Swamp


4x Bog Rats
4x Black Knight

4x Hypnotic Specter
2x Headless Horseman
2x Fallen Angel
2x Infernal Medusa
2x Walking Dead

2x Paralyze
4x Unholy Strength
4x Bad Moon
2x Animate Dead
4x Dark Ritual
4x Darkness

Some cards only exist in the game, l
ike Infernal Medusa (it's a Cockatrice in black), Headless Horseman (a 2/2 creature) and Walking Dead (a 1/1 creature with regenerate). The deck is supposed to be a aggro deck (it has a nice name in the game, Darkfall). I think it works very well, except when I play against decks with a lot of burn or counter spell. I like it very much, it's very funny when you have a 4/3 Hypnotic Specter with Unholy Strength in the second turn, making your adversary discard. Paralyze and Darkness are good cards to have some control in the game, Bad Moon could be devastating to pump up all creatures and Dark Ritual really speed the game up. Infernal Medusa and Fallen Angel are reasonable finishers to. So this is it. Do you see any hope to update Darkfall and make it a good recent deck?
Thank you and keep up the good work.


Hypnotic Specter and Bad Moon are both Standard legal, so they can stay. Stromgald Crusader is a reasonable substitute for Black Knight. Auger of Skulls is a quick regenerator that can also force your opponent to discard. Nekrataal and Shriekmaw provide removal. Korlash is a huge beater that is almost impossible to get rid of. Tendrils of Corruption kills things and gains you life. This entire deck is Standard legal, so you should be able to play it in any tournament you come across, just watch out for Chameleon Colossus, which can really ruin your day.
