: : I have a tourney next week and I think my deck needs some help. The tournament is Type I, but p9, Library and Mirror Universe are banned. : : Artifacts: 6 : : 1 Sol Ring : : 2 Mana Vault : : 2 Fellwar Stone : : 1 Zuran Orb : : Red: 20 : : 2 Shivan Dragon : : 4 Mana Flare : : 4 Fireball : : 4 Lightning Bolt : : 3 Incinerate : : 2 Disintegrate : : 1 Wheel of Fortune : : Blue: 14 : : 2 Control Magic : : 2 Drain Power : : 2 Mana Drain (have only two...) : : 4 Counterspell : : 2 Force of Will : : 1 Deflection : : 1 Braingeyser : : Land: 21 : : 4 Volcanic Island : : 3 City of Brass : : 3 Reflecting Pool : : 6 Mountain : : 5 Island : : Sideboard: : : 3 Red Elemental Blast : : 3 Blue Elemental Blast : : 1 Earthquake : : 1 Nevinyrral's Disk : : 2 Pyroclasm : : 2 Sacred Ground : : 3 Plateau : : Does it need more counters? More burn? More card drawing? Any comments will be appreciated. : OK, first of all, commit suicide :-P. : Then do this: : Too much burn. Mana Flare can really work against you. Replace with 2 Dissipate and 2 Hammer. : More counterpower (add 2 Dismiss and/or maybe few Power Sinks). You don't need Drain Power anymore. Fellwar Stones are good in true t1 environment (where everybody is playing blue and lot of duals), otherwise replace for Diamonds or lands. Or better yet, Thawing Glaciers. Replace one City of Brass for 3rd Glaciers. Replace one Reflecting Pool for an Island. : Deflection can be very useful vs some decks, useless vs others. Replace with Disk. : I'd replace Control Magics for Disks, they are more reliable and you don't have many permanent left anyway. : I guess we need to spend that mana from Mana Drains, replace 2 Mana Vaults with 2 Jayemdaes or 1 Jayemdae + 1 Disrupting Scepter. : Drop 2 Fireball and Disintegrates and replace them with 2 Earthquake and 2 Smoke (great vs creature-heavy decks). Replace 2 Incinerate with 2 Icy Manipulator. : Replace both Shivans for Rainbow Efreets (way harder to kill and they survive mass destruction like Wraths and Disks). : If you have white in SB, also include Balance. : Replace Pyroclams with Primitive Justice (you already have 2 Earthquake maindeck). : Wheel of Fortune? In original deck yes, in this version - no. You don't want to give opponent full hand. Replace with some counterstuff of Bosium Strip. : You might consider putting in a Feldon's Cane - it's another way to win when your Hammers get removed from the game and Rainbows get _somehow_ killed. : I know I've changed your deck around, but it will work much better.
