I already posted what I think of this on the thread so I'll just add this to keep this from being total spam: Darksteel Underpants might be 100% completely right when it comes to cards like Survival of the Fittest. (For those that don't know he said that ppl who haven't played the format b4 will throw a fit when it comes to such cards after the tourney is done.) Of course I don't think WotC would do such a thing because they didn't even come close to cavin' in to public pressure when it came to Ravager until it was almost too late but I'm hopin they DIDN'T learn from their mistake there... the results could be disastrous...
The thing is in bigger events liek 40+ men tourneys the survival decks dont win. And teh top deck in the format is Landstill. The price of duals may rise though.
Qwerty
:bmage:
hehe the first thing I said when I saw that was that the price of cards in that format would skyrocket. Too bad they didn't do this BEFORE they banned Mask and Bazaar
I made several changes to the deck like i took out fire/ice for worn powerstones for more mana acceration. Then i took out the grim lavamancers for flametongue kavus. Oh yeah i took out a sword of light and shadow and added another sword of fire and ice for more card advantage. Then i took out a 3rd flashfires since i can tutor for any one of them with burning wish and put in the last sword of light and shadow in the sideboard against white weenie matchup. Here is the updated version of the deck.
Covetous Dragon-This creature is very fast in a deck like because of the artifact mana acceration it has(worn powerstones and chrome moxes) and probably the 2nd best creature in the deck behind masticore.
Flametongue Kavu-This creature can also be pretty fast with the mana acceration and it can also be a great creature removal card.
Juggernaut-This creature is good for a reliable body that has potential to do a decent amount of damage to your opponent. Also it's casting cost isn't that expensive either.
Masticore-Probably the best creature in this deck and it's pretty versatile because of it's cheap casting cost,power/toughness is good, plus it can remove pesky weenie creatures. This card also has regeneration which makes it immune to artifact removal spells such as naturalize or disenchant and also makes it a decent blocker or attacker as well.
Burning wish-this card is great against white weenie worship because it let's me tutor for either a anarchy to wipe the board clean of white permanents or let's me have access to flashfires which destroys the deck's mana base almost completely.(mainly because i've seen white weenie decks run 4 ancient tombs.)
Fireblast-This is a great red spell to finish off your opponent when it's needed or it can be a decent creature removal card. Plus you can play it for free which is very good.
lightning bolt-Classic fast red damage card that is in a lot of decks that run red.
chrome mox-Great artifact that gives this deck a lot of mana speed. Especially to get out creatures like covetous dragon and/or masticore pretty quick.
Worn Powerstone-this card is pretty good combined with chromes and it also serves the same role as chrome mox and can provide more mana too when needed.
sword of fire and ice-this card is great especially putting it on a covetous dragon to make it even more powerful. This card also provides decent card draw as well.
sword of light and shadow-this card is great to bring back your creatures from the graveyard also gives creatures in this deck protection from swords to plowshares and also exalted angels. Also gaining life is good too to keep alive.
bloodstained mire-This card is great because it let's me search for a mountain and also it thins out the deck so my percentage of getting the cards i want is increased. Probably not by a lot but it's better then nothing.
dwarven ruins-this card is not bad but it let's me add two red to my mana pool so i can get out a worn powerstone or covetous dragon or etc. even faster. This card can also protect me against conversion because i have seen decks that run white run those.
Thank you for taking your time to read this but i just wanted to give a good explanation on why i pick these cards for this deck. I also thank everyone that voted for me too even the people that was not allowed to vote for new coming clan members. As the saying goes it is the thought and gratitude that counts.;)
Bio about me
I am 5'7". I am chinese. I like to keep to myself alot and im often really quiet around people I dont really know. I like to play basketball, play online games like warcraft 3 and play rpgs on console like the playstation 2. I play magic of course been playing it since legends. I live in nevada state in the usa. I am currently in the radiography(x-ray) program at my university becoming an x-ray technologist that is certified. That is all i can think of right now so i will stop here.
Well..that post showed a lot of effort!!...you get my vote..... the deck seems nice, and Anarchy is one card I had forgotten all about...so it seems rather kool!!
On my behalf we shall be giving you a welcome soon enough....

Thanks Revenant I really appreciate that. Yeah i spend quite a bit of time last night working on the deck and all. I am glad now i have 3 votes so i'm accepted into the clan now. I will always be a service to ARD.
Blue, I would possibly add a masticore in your sideboard too because it's a pretty versatile creature and maybe that ki-ki mirror breaker or whatever that creature is called as well lol in the sideboard.
OH!! Right-.... you did get 3 votes already!!! So welcome in ...come on in, make yourself comfortable and then we need you to go do the dishes as initiation rite!!!!!! LOL....
no seriously!! welcome aboard the coolest clan on Salvation....
Welcom bub, I'll edit in your bio when I get chance my g/f is here and well shes waiting for me in bed and errrr.... well more important things to d.....
Don't worry man, you can edit my bio anytime you can. Have a goodnight man.
Alright i'll call you rev for now on. Thanks everyone again that voted me and it's a great honor to become part of ARD. I'll do my best to serve this clan always.
Blue, i would possibly add in 1 masticore in your sideboard because it's a great versatile creature that can take down pesky creatures when needed. You might also want to consider using at least 3 naturalizes to take down cards like isochron scepter w/ orim's chant, vedalken shackles and etc.
Hmm.... I´ve seen how more and more poeple hace begun using some online playing mechanisma...be it apprentice or any other...hence, I have a propposal!!
Lets do a clan-wide voting (not just council, but all active members) on standarizing a new On-Line-Tourney SW.... so then we can make our next ARD TOurnament by mid-month july!!!.... do you guys like the idea?? IF so...please feel free to vote now!!
In any case, my vote would go to apprentice....its easy and light!!...ideal for old guys like me!! .. LOL
I like Apprentice too for a clan-wide tourney. It's not like any of us are underhanded enough to use Backwash for something like this... besides I have constant problems with MWS when I try to use it. I dunno if its all the pictures that it tries to load up, something with my actual computer, the patch I've loaded up for MTG, or what but I'll get it again just in case and not use any of the pictures... it was workin well b4 the pictures so I have a hunch it's probably that.
Legacy is cool.
If we're having a clan-wide tourney, I have to be in it, because I do. If it's T1, I can play Belcher. I love that deck so much.

Hello my clan mates. I have came up with this one extended deck that uses ayumi. Blue gave me this idea to make a deck with ayumi in it so i did. I want to know what you guys think of it and also you too blue. I call this deck Eternal Ayumi.
Also i have a question about sleeve card protectors would they help to make your shuffling a lot easier?
Yes. It makes it easier to slide shuffle one half into the other, though I would advise riffle shuffling still as it keeps the sleeves good for longer. You'll have to riffle side-by-side though instead of top-to-bottom. I would ALWAYS advise using sleeves to protect your cards.
EDIT:
Hey just want to tell you guys that I haven't posted as much recently because I both got a job and ORIGINS gaming convention came to town!! It was abso-frickin-sweet! I played in a two-headed giant sealed event and came 4th, also...you'll never guess who was playing in the pokemon national championships right next to the magic events. Go on guess...
...William Hung, yeah, the guy made famous for being bad was there. So I'm scanning the room trying to find him but I can't see him anywhere so I sit down and give up...only to find that he is sitting right across from me! He was waiting for his pokemon next round tournament pairings to go up! I have a short conversation with him, apparently he was performing at origins at some point in time but I never saw him sing (thank god). I won some swag, painted some free miniatures and played a hell of a lot of games ranging from Card to Board. Overall an awesome event and I would recommend absolutely everybody within 4 hours driving of columbus, OH to be there next year!
I wish there were some tourneys coming up. I've got a Wisdom deck ready for block, as well as U/G Combo and Reanimator, and I've got a BoW deck idea ready for when it cycles in to T2.
Oh, Prismatic T2, how fun you are.

Im up for an appr tourny. I vote legacy for the type. However, I just got an idea, so here goes.
t1 tourny... appr... no netdecks. your deck is required to be rogue. I cant play FCG, you cant play Stax, Dragon, Belcher, etc. Then ARD will truely have had an ARDworthy ultimate rogue tourny
hey, Im on for the legacy thing!!!!!...solets do the appr legacy rogue tournament!!!!
On the whole Legacy GP all I can say is.... good thing I dont live in the US.... or I would be craving to spend my hard earned money on duals and so!!!!.. things are gonna get nasty up there!!!

Yeah i can't go to the usa one because it's on the east coast and i'm on the west coast and it will probably cost me a fortune to get there .
Plane ticket and hotel cost from random west coast city to Philadelphia for two people: anywhere from $1100 to $2100. Crazy....You'd probably need about $2K.
Ok. Since Apprentice doesn't like my computer I will have to vote for MWS.
I don't know anything about Legacy so anything I build's gonna be rogue... But I do have AN idea of what I want to build.
Kevin: You went farther than I expected lol. Ayumi is so hot but you also included one of my favorite combos. Rofellos + Plow Under. I looooove going turn 2 Rofellos, turn 3 Plow Under :-D
I don't worship Chulthu! I just ... respect his power. And can't spell his name. At all.
Damn his name.
You know, we didn't give the non-Elder Gods a fair chance. They could be nice! He wouldn't wake up if we didn't make so much noise.
And Blue, that combo's not stupid-crazy enough. You've got to go T1 STS, Turn 2 Reach, turn 3 Plow, turn 4 Plow, turn 5 witness-plow, turn 6 witness-plow, turn 7 witness-plow, turn 8 witness-plow, turn 9 plow, turn 10 plow.
That's a good start right there.
Also: I'm up for any tourney of any type. I've got a couple decks tuned for both Ext., T2, Block, and Legacy. Mainly Block and T1 though. I could make one of my block decks Legacy ... wow, would that be stupid. Sachi Combo would turn into something like this:
4x Windswept Heath
6x Forest
6x Island
4x Polluted Delta
4x Sachi, Daughter of Sheshiro
4x Orochi Leafcaller
4x Wirewood Channeler
4x Sakura-Tribe Scout
4x Pemmin's Aura
4x Freed from the Real
4x Llanowar Elf
4x Fyndhorn Elf
4x Fireball
4x Blaze

Hehe. This is funny. I'm working with my friend Ryan on an elf deck that basically does similar things. Difference is that we used Staff of Domination too. I'll suggest Freed from the Real to him but I think he side-boarded the Wirewood Channelers in favor of maindecking Priest of Titanias and Living Wish.
I suggested something to him that I think would be really amazing for you. Sideboard or no you could play Maga, Traitor to Mortals. I told Ryan that he needed a living wish Target that could win him the game. My suggestions were Laquatis, Thrashing Wumpus, and Maga.
I was waiting for you to post something about this. I knew you'd be really happy
