: : Greetings all. Listed below are the contents of my blue Type I deck. I know it could stand to be improved some and I'm hoping you folks can help. Please understand that blue copy cards (i.e. the Clones, Dopplegangers, and Copy Artifact) are kind of this deck's theme. Also, I can't afford to spend more that ten or twenty dollars on a single Magic card, so adding things like Time Walk and the Moxes is out of the question. Other than that, go crazy! Praise it of rip it to shreds, just try to be helpful. : : Land: : : Mishra's Factory: 2 : : Island: 20 : : Artifact: : : Sol Ring : : Ivory Tower : : Zuran Orb : : Black Vise : : Jester's Cap : : Jayemdae Tome : : Icy Manipulator: 2 : : Blue: : : Braingeyser : : Copy Artifact : : Recall : : Time Warp : : Deflection: 2 : : Control Magic: 4 : : Counterspell: 4 : : Dissipate: 4 : : Air Elemental: 4 : : Clone: 4 : : Vesuvan Doppelganger: 4 : : : Ok, I like this deck 'cause I always liked blue, but : if I were you, I'd make some changes... : * Remove Air Elementals NOW! For one more mana, you : have Mahamoti Djinn, one of the strongest magic creatures. : * Adding Serendib Efreet will speed-up your deck considerably. : * Yes, I also like Control Magic, Clone and Doppelganger, but : 4 of each... If your opponent hasn't creatures, you have : 12 USELESS CARDS. I'd put 2 or 3 Control Magic, 2 Clones and 2 Vesuvans. : * Don't you know Force of Will? What are you waiting for? Put 2 or 3 : of these into yor deck immediately. : * If you don't want to keep your big creatures in your hand : 'in eternum', add some mana producing artifacts like Mana Vault or Mana Crypt. : * Howling Mine will help to have always a counter ready in your hand. : Hope I have helped you.
