: Here's my first deck, a Type 1 Zoo-style deck, not the classic Zoo mind you, because I left green out.
: 1 Ancestral Recall
: 1 Psionic Blast
: 3 Serendib Efreet
: 1 Time Walk
: 1 Fireball
: 1 Gorilla Shaman
: 4 Lightning Bolt
: 3 Wildfire Emissary
: 2 Disenchant
: 4 Order of Leitbur
: 4 Savannah Lions
: 2 Soltari Monk
: 4 Swords to Plowshares
: 4 Tithe
: 1 Mox Sapphire
: 1 Sol Ring
: 1 Zuran Orb
: 2 City of Brass
: 3 Mishra's Factory
: 6 Plains
: 4 Plateau
: 1 Strip Mine
: 4 Tundra
: 2 Volcanic Island
Looks good, I'd put in a Wheel and/or Timetwister instead of Fireball.
: Ok, here's another deck I though sounded fun, kind of a CounterHammer type thing. Type 1.x...
: 4 Counterspell
: 3 Dissipate
: 2 Force of Will
: 4 Impulse
: 2 Rainbow Efreet
: 3 Whispers of the Muse
: 2 Earthquake
: 2 Hammer of Bogarden
: 4 Incinerate
: 4 Lightning Bolt
: 2 Wildfire Emissary
: 3 Nevinyrral's Disk
: 8 Island
: 2 Mishra's Factory
: 6 Mountain
: 3 Thawing Glaciers
: 4 Volcanic Island
: 2 Wasteland
You have a bit too much burn in this deck. I'd replace 2 Incinerate for 2 Dismiss. Impulse is a good card, but 4 is a bit too many, replace one with another counter (Dissipate or Power Sink).
From my experience Jayemdae Tomes are better in this format, but since you use 3 Disks, using Whispers might be a good idea.
: Thanks in advance!
