Izzet Deck

I have also made a Izzet guild deck. It is fun to play and has many cards from the guild. One cool card is Wee Dragonauts. It is a cool card and helps out the guild very well. Another really cool card is Izzet Guildmage this guy is one of the best creatures for the Izzet clan. Actually if you are unaware of this there is a guildmage for every guild you can look them up at the gatherer, just type in guildmage. Well I gotta go Heather just made a deck and wants to play me, weird huh.

Draw A Card



I have made a new deck that really isn't guild related but it does have a couple of Izzet cards as the focal point. Invoke the Firemind, and Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind are the two cards that I am using from the Izzet guild. Most of the deck revolves around Niv-Mizzet and let me draw a card while doing something cool. There are a couple other surprises too. I don't want to give them away just yet because I haven't played this in tournament yet or against the geek. So I need to save a few surprises. If you want a complete deck list you could e-mail me. I must say I feel like a genius for thinking up this deck. It is so much fun to play.

Dimir Deck Doom

Previously I posted that I built a Dimir deck, well last night I took it to the constructed, or type 2 tournament. It is $5.00 to play in constructed, so for those of you who don't want to pay a lot it is the cheaper one to go too.
Anyway I played with my Dimir deck. I got slaughtered. I only won one game. Now to refresh your memories, a tournament consists of matches. There are a possible three games per match. The usual number of matches is five. So I played 11 games. I won 1 out of 11 games. Okay I can now admit to all of you out there that I suck.
So I have now rebuilt my deck. No longer does it have 78 cards in it. It only has 65, which is 5 too many, so hopefully it will play better. I remove cards and switched cards. One card that I removed is Mnemonic Nexus, yes I know this card goes against everything that is Dimir, but I had it in there just in case I played against another Dimir deck. I have now safely removed it to my sideboard. In case you were not aware, in tournaments you can have a sideboard. In sealed deck and booster draft you use every card that you pulled but didn't put in your deck. Though you can not change out your lands afterwards. In constructed you are limited to 15 cards in your sideboard. You can put cards in there that you were thinking about putting into your deck. You also put in cards that you would use in special circumstances, like Mnemonic Nexus or extra disenchants for those pesky players who have a million enchantments. When you use your sideboard you replace cards that are in your deck with ones that are in your sideboard. You must maintain the same number of cards in your deck.
Sorry about going off on sideboarding, but I didn't actually know the rules about sideboarding. I just recently learned them. So I was just wanting to make sure that other people like me wouldn't be left out of the loop. Anyway.... I hope that my Dimir deck will do well next time I play GEEK who is coming home in one and a half weeks! I am so excited! You see GEEK is my brother! I miss him so very much!!!

Type 2


So recently I have been going to the local touraments. I haven't been doing as well as I would like, but it is a lot of fun. They have three types of tournaments; sealed - in which you get a tournament pack and three booster packs to build a deck, booster draft - in which you get three booster packs and you pass them around the table picking a card from each before passing it again, and type 2 - In this type you use a deck that you have created. Type 2 decks can only consist of cards that are not banned and from the current core set and the past two expansion blocks. That means 9th edition, Champions of Kamigawa, Betrayers of Kamigawa, Saviors of Kamigawa, Ravnica: City of Guilds, and Guildpact.

This is a proxy card that I made. If you don't get the joke you should think harder. Oh and all rights are reserved to krazy glue for their picture of the guy hanging from his helmet. So as to not get into trouble.

Guilds

Okay so something new was brought out with the Ravnica set, Guilds, I really enjoy this it has brought something extra to the magic world. Instead of just the colors their are now these guilds that mix magic colors. It makes you want to play multicolor. I think it is really fun. If you want to find out more about the sets you could go here: Boros Legion, The Selesnya Conclave, House Dimir, The Golgari, The Gruul, The Izzet, The Orzhov, and three more guilds to come in the next set. I don't know if they will take the guilds beyond this set but it is fun anyway.
Oh and again this is just a picture I found on the net.

Boros Deck

So now I am in the process of making a red and white deck. I am hoping it turns out cool. Two of the main cards in the deck are going to be angels. Here they are: Firemane Angel; Razia, Boros Archangel. I am contemplating putting in the wonderful Serra Angel.

Ninja Deck



I also made a ninja deck! I ran into only one problem while building it, they don't fly. No flying creatures = getting pommeled by a buntch of flyers (usually big ones too). So I found a card in 9th edition, Levitation that took care of all my problems.

Dimir Deck

I have built a new deck. It is black and blue, and makes people burn cards from their library. It is a lot of fun to play.
Hey if you haven't checked out the new stuff, Guildpact, you should it is pretty cool, especially the magemarks.

This is just a cool picture I found on the net.
