BlinkRiders

I have watched BlinkRiders win twice in a row on MTGO in 50+ person trials, so i thought i would post the list. This is PRE-PC list might change a bit.

Creatures-
4 Lightning Angel
4 Avalanche Riders
3 Riftwind Cloudscate
3 Bogarden Hellkite
2 Vesuvan Doppleganger
2 Desolation Giant

Spells-
4 Momentary Blink
4 Rift Bolt/Sudden Shock (one week he used bolt, other he used sudden shock, he won both trials so im not sure which is better)
3 Ancestral Vision
4 Prismatic Lens
2 Disintegrate

Land-
3 Gemstone Mine
4 Terramorphic Expanse
4 Plains
7 Island
7 Mountain

Deck is pretty straightforward, i saw he won a large majority of his games, even some that seems unwinnable, by burning them out with hellkite+blink. Vesuvan seemed pretty good for him, as it can come into play as any of his other creatures and trigger their abilities, and it was an answer to spectral force.

Like i said, he is currently undefeated with this list, but it could be good matchups i guess.

Any thoughts as to how or if Planer Chaos might change this archtype? Lets start a discussion!

he isnt undefeated with it because mtgo does nto hold trials, they have swiss premier events and they only show the top 8 matches on replay.

Why no red Akroma? Morph it, blink it, crash in for 6-8 always sounds good?

Umm i dunno his exact sideboard, i guess i forgot to ask haha Very Happy

I do know it has 4 X Serrated Arrows
and at least 2 draining whelk, and i saw a 5/5 dodecopod -_-

I know he is undefeated because a good friend ran in both tourneys, once with Mishra.dec and once with scryb and force, and made top eight both times, losing to this dude both times.

Hellkite + blink = GG really really fast.

im testing blink riders, and calicderms doesnt looks nice, bc u cant do blink, i think riftwing cloudskate and draining whelk do a better job, only 1 whelk, and mana tithe works fine too,
i have troubles with sb, what do u use and againts wich decks?
