New Deck Concept - The Flood (Revised)

Superdood · Joined: 16 Jan 2006 Posts: 273

NAME: The Flood 60 Cards
Creatures: 5
4 Loxodon Hierarch
2 Blazing Archon

Enchantments: 4
4 Faith's Fetters

Sorceries: 5
2 Final Judgment
3 Wrath of God

Instants:
2 Shining Shoal

Artifacts: 23
3 Icy Manipulator
4 Mizzium Transreliquat
1 Selesnya Signet
1 Boros Signet
1 Orzhov Signet
3 Ornate Kanzashi
4 Fellwar Stone
3 Spectral Searchlight

Land: 23
1 Skarrg, the Rage Pits
1 Sunhome, Fortress of the Le
1 Orzhova, Church of Deals
2 Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree
3 Plains
1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
1 Miren, the Moaning Well
1 Mikokoro, Center of the Sea
2 Steam Vents
3 Godless Shrine
3 Stomping Ground
4 Sacred Foundry

Sideboard: 15 cards
SB: 2 Hokori, Dust Drinker
SB: 4 Putrefy
SB: 2 Life from the Loam
SB: 3 Pithing Needle
SB: 4 Defense Grid

I updated the list for a few good reasons. I noticed it was TOO mana intensive, now it runs MUCH smoother, I have multiple white sources now, and I can play my white cards easier. Loxodon can be dropped as early as turn 3, which works nicely for me, by then the kird ape has only dished out 2 damage or so, and I'm up to 22 life.

Faiths fetters stops all the creatures, or artifacts I hate.

Blazing Archon is GREAT I can drop it, but it's a late game drop obviously.

Plus shining shoal is a nice trick up my sleeve for a dragon.

Mizzium remains in my deck, but I am thinking about cutting it, it still is useful as an EOT copy artifact, and it can get rid of jitte. My mana source isn't as friend for it anymore.

Can you get rid of 30 artifacts=plague boiler

That deck is some serious jank, congradulate yourself.

Okay, tell me ONE deck in the meta that STILL uses that hunk of garbage? Razz

If that's the case, I just hold back all my stuff, and let them blow up the board, that's cool. Or I pithing needle it.

Hell with that SAME arguement you could just say that creature decks are bad because of Wrath of God.

I hate when you idiots just name one card that can deal with a deck, that no one runs. "Oh God watch out for [insert obscure card here], it would ruin that crap deck."

The worst part is, I wouldn't run it, and I'd just use my artifact copier to copy it and blow it up. I have answers to it in the main board.

the deck is a nice idea, i like that.

for sb i would suggest different cards in the current meta

bottled cloister - against discard
life from loam or sacred ground - against ld/magnivore
some artifact/enchantment removal

Pithing Needle doesn't stop Boiler from blowing up all your stuff.

well just sideboard in putrify and then you can shut the hell up.... how many times have you come up with half deceint ideas by YOURSELF???? you should give him actual advise... like.... add in putrify cause if you run against a rock deck they will be running plauge boilers... and by the way The Rock still runs that huge junk of garabage... i have 4 mainboard.... : )

Hmmm, I haven't seen too much 'rock' around, that's the problem. I thought the main powers currently are:

MUC
RG Wildfire
Eminent Domain
Magniwhore
BW Discard/Aggro
BWG Aggro/Control
I played Eminent domain and won.
I played MUC and the match up is good for some reason.
I played RG wildfire, it does nothing to me since I have the stones and the spectral, and my creatures have evasion basically.
Magniwhore I haven't played yet.
I beat BW Discard/Aggro 1 out of 3...
BWG Aggro/Control I beat the piss out of it.

I am trying to perfect this deck. I was playing a guy with BW Discard/Aggro I dropped my ornate, 2 turns later stole a ghost council and he conceded. The game before that I stole a jitte, luckily for him though he had like all 4 of his last gasps, otherwise my jade would have hit, and I'd have probably won that game too.

It's consistent and mana is never a problem like most tri color decks. You have to try it to believe it, give it a shot, you'll be surprised.

If you're playing against control, drop a warplow, and start plowing, same with jade statue.

Against aggro the trees come in handy, but activating the statues IR to attacking seems smarter to me, unless you have an overwhelming force of statues, or have copied up enough.

Ornate is f***ing amazing, seriously I suggest everyone just give this deck a try, and if it doesn't win every game (I don't expect it to, this meta is TOO diverse) well then atleast you can have fun. It's definetly fun, and plays differently everytime.

when does jade transform? cause your fang isnt you playing the spell

Superdood · Joined: 16 Jan 2006 Posts: 273

Hmm, I probably can't attach the fang to jade, since it only stays alive in the combat phase, but I think I can play a sorcery during that phase or no? If I can, I CAN attach the fang, if not I cannot.

It is Jade Statue, not Jade Idol.

And no, you cannot play a sorcery during combat.

Bottled Cloister - Blech. I have had some bad experiences here. Always getting my hand RFG. Confiscate, Naturalize, Terashi's Grasp, Hearth Kami, Sundering Vitae, Seed Spark...........

That's why I would ONLY play it when my hand is nigh-empty...If that's the last thing, or I have a land, I'd just play the cloister.
