Sixth Sense

Banandon · 11-03-2009, 12:40 PM

Alright let's explain this deck, the reason why it's called Six is because I plan on having the game by turn 6.
My basic plan is to strike with an Fireshriek'd Baneslayer or a Blinding Angel on turn six, thus either getting them to skip their next 2 attack phases or hitting them with good power or follow up with a Waves for another 2 attack phases. Eventually I plan on locking out their attack phases the whole game while I attack their life. This deck is really mana hungry and NEEDS to drop a land every turn.

few things to correct. exalted angel, forgotten cave, and forgotten steppe aren't legal in extended anymore. hellspark elemental and slith firewalker are extreme aggro cards, while cards like blinding angel are very much anti aggro. relentless assault is likewise considered highly aggro, though I could see it's inclusion here if you were to streamline a bit. you are going to need removal and you are in some seriously good colors for it.
lightning helix
incinerate
lightning bolt
path to exile
skred
dead/gone are just a few of the options available to you. I'd seriously look over your card base and then go from there. there are way too many options available for me to really streamline it any for you here.

Is it bad that it's running those aggro cards? Because I added those because I had a lot of top heavy mana creatures so I replaced them with something relatively lost cost and very effective. I also fixed it to be extended friendly.

well, are you midrange, or are you aggro or are you control? I"m saying you're not combo here, though you strive to control the attack phase. don't blame you for that, but you need to make it work for you a bit better. if you want to use something like relentless assault, that's fine. I'd say waves of aggression is nearly 1000 times better here, though, especially if you can find some card draw to add in . augury adept or swans of bryn argol may fit well. both have their uses, and if the idea is to wreck their attack phase, then by golly fit in 4 blinding angels. however, remember that you need an early curve or mana acceleration too. hence, at least 8 spot removal spells I think are needed, and more may be better.

I would say midrange but more on the control side because I do wanna lock out their attack phases. I've done a couple of changes, I believe this deck is looking nice. I'll playtest it against my metagame and see how it goes!

I'm not sure, maybe you're building on budget, but if you're not... Ajani Vengeant might be a nice inclusion... no need to explain why he's good, but it's worth mentioning his tapping ability can be considered a way to control attack phase, so, it's on-theme...

Also, Hellspark Elemental it's not helping you in any way... neither it is the Giant: 7 slots devoted to him and he's not fast nor really impressive and too easy to disrupt... I guess you'll be better playing 4 Baneslayers (once again, if you can afford them). You should fill the rest with removal/accel or try some low cost creatures (Knight of Meadowgrain comes to my mind).

Other cards you might want to try:

Act of Treason // Mark of Mutiny: they are better with a sacrifice outlet but anyway, you remove a blocker, and you gain an attacker, with enough mana (that's 8 or more) it may be a good deal...

Pollen Lullaby: screws the opponent's attack with a chance of tapping his army, synergy with Waves of Agression.

second the ajani vengeant idea. you need to revamp your mana base though. 26 lands seems a bit much and you're not really accelerating all that much. could consider snow lands +scrying sheets. gives you skred as removal, too.

Thanks I've changed the cards a bit haven't gotten to playtest the new deck yet but will soon!
