Ok, If it's extended, the first thing to do would be to remove all the restricted stuff. Here is what I would do with the deck keeping in mind extended is pretty damn fast-deck based(jank, alatar, sligh, etc.)
: Well i tried making a land destructon deck the other day and this is how it turned out...i also tried to focus on turn advantage...
: Black:
: 4 Hymn
: 4 Dark Ritual
: 4 Icequake
: 3 Hippie---->gone. banned from 1.x, replace with phyrexian war beastx2, or even a triskelion or two
: 2 Ihsan's Shade
: 1 Demonic Tutor----> Banned, try some Uktabi urangutang
: 2 Nekrataal--> good
: 3 Misinformation---> cut 1, replace with Ld, or scroll protection(artifact destruction).
The last thing you want is misinformation popping up when they have no land problems
: Green:
: 1 Berserk---->banned
: 2 Birds of Paradise
: 4 Thermokarst
: 2 Creeping Mold
: 3 Stunted Growth----->cut 1
: 1 Regrowth---->banned
add in 4 ernam djinn. Too good not to be there. Also, some fuck monkeys will help you to get rid of mana artifacts or scrolls.
: Land:
: 1 Strip Mine---->banned, add a wasteland
: 1 Library of Alexandria---->banned, add a volrath's stronghold
: 3 Wasteland
: 4 Bayou
: 8 Swamps
: 8 Forests
You may want to include the following in you SB for the following reasons.
3x Sandstorm(kills quick creature assaults, Jank, sligh)
4x Tranquil Domain(land tax is the bane of this deck in a big way. Likewise sacred ground. Also kills numerous other pains in the ass, like propaganda and CoP's)
As many uktabi urangutangs as you need to allow four to be in the deck post SB(awesome card advantage, stops winter orb, disk, icy, etc.)
4x Bottle gnomes(awesome vs. speed red and white)
city of solitude, perish(just maybe)
volrath's stronghold, mishra's factory, phyrexian war beast, gaea's blessing, etc. are all good 1.X cards. Good luck, Hope this helps!
: that sums it up...now i have a dilemma. There is an extended tourney this weekend with 3 moxes (sapphire, jet, and ruby) up for grabs for 1st definetly 2nd with a good turnout and 3rd with a packed tourney. Now there is a very good turnout expected so i think its definetly going to be for 2 of the moxes and possibly three. I dont know how to turn this into extended!!!!! Im not sure of what sets or cards are banned but i would appreciate your help. If you know this can you see what i should do to make this into extended?!?!?!? PLEASE?!?!?!?
: AoW
: Thanks
