MTG Salvation

This deck is designed for Multiplayer and 1v1. I know that some of you are skeptics but the deck that I used during EDH Sunday 01-17-2010 won me first place. I know that it's months since that day, you can check it out on my report further down. This thread is here for making a decent Sharuum deck.

Combo Cards Not Included:


So far I've updated again. I've got some new removals that I haven't got from last time. Here's the new and improved Sharuum.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've built it for the past few weeks just for my first casual Sunday EDH tourney 01-17-10. That day (or today), there are 9 people facing each other. The owner decided to make 2 pods of free-for-all and the winner will faced each other. The reason is because having 6+ people is too much time consuming. In my pod, I've faced Heartless Hidetsugu, Rhys the Redeemed and Vorosh, the Hunter.

My kept getting his Elves as my other friend is getting enchantments and artifacts like Vedalken Orrery to kept drawing and casting them. Austere Command and Wrath of God helped me cleaned their board. Faith's Fetter is highly useful against Planeswalker which completely locks him out to search my opponent's elves or even gained life. As they kept trying to re-established their arsenals Thopter Foundry+Sword of the Meek combo proves useful. Heartless Hidetsugu+Furnace of Rath came out and I kept at odd so that when he popped it, I'm still alive.

For some luck, I went victorious and faced against the other pod's winner... the one that he used Eight-and-a-Half-Tails.

My game with him is a close one. On the beginning we went on and off, killing, removing sweeping, and controlling each other until he cast Beacon of Immortality and increased his life to 80+ and brought me down to 20. Enlightened Tutor/Fabricate/Trinket Mage/Sharuum the Hegemon all really helped me find the right cards to sweep his board as he sweep mine. I countered him by playing Magister Sphinx with searchers Summoner Sphinx. He then got to the longest face-off where I have bunch of tokens and he got Ghosts of the Innocent+ 8.5 Tails+Myojin of Cleansing Fire. Ensnaring Bridge got the best of him and we can't hit each other. Unfortunately, my opponent manages to hit mana pocket. For the past few turns, I kept forcing him to waste his land to give his guys protection so that I have the chance to run him over. Unfortunately, Ensnaring Bridge can be a double-edged sword.

In the end, I've managed to tilt off the balance and ran him over with my Meloku's tokens/Thopter tokens and a popped up Tezz!!!

Deck List:

MVP: Ensnaring Bridge

I don't know where to post. But I hoped that my common sense is right that this is the place to post my deck. My pride is off the roof cause I won with decks that beat my ass few weeks ago before I edit it like no other!!!

Unfortunately, the old packs doesn't contain anything interesting. D:




Also, I didn't know that my deck actually survived both either a multiplayer AND a 1-on-1 face-off in the finals.
