type 0 deck

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy (More info?)

here's the deck. the kill i'm using now is lightning rift but i'm
wondering if i need to go with something else, maybe decking my opponent
or a fireball or something to finish the game for me. i like the
cycling part of this deck and would like to keep it in tact cuz if i get
fluctuator out on turn one i can usually cycle through half the deck and
get almost all my mana producers into play. i was also wondering if i
should run more tolarian academys. well tell me what you think.
4 fluctuator
3 mox diamond
4 sol ring
3 feldon's cane
4 lightning rift
3 prosperity
4 thran dynamo
2 tolarian academy
3 chrome mox
2 windfall
4 drifting meadow
4 polluted mire
4 power taint
4 remote isle
4 rescind
4 lay waste
4 smoldering crater

I don't think so. The limit to 4-of-a-card except for basic land and the
minimum deck size of 60 are in the rules themselves. If you decide you
can violate those, things are just silly. It's not that hard to build an
8-card deck that can win 1st turn 100% of the time.

your forgetting fifth dawn's relentless rats. i've played magic since

doesn't do a whole lot for me and relentless rats is a bad idea and i
hope that this type of card doesn't happen again. well theres my opinion

Thing is, they originally printed it in Alpha, kinda. Plague Rats was
made without any 4-card limit in mind. That limit only came in once stupid
decks like 25 Bolts + 15 mountains came around, and Plague Rats was an
incidental casualty. Now they're trying it again. There was an article on
the Wizards site saying that if Relentless Rats stays under control (and I
think it will) they may make more no-limit cards.
As for Fifth Dawn in general, it's OK. It certainly seems aimed at the
combo players, and I'm not really big on combos, but it's not a bad set
overall.

yeah i think it will stay under control too i mean i don't think it can
really get that out of hand. i'm wondering what could be done with eon
hub, i mean skip your upkeep think about that. stasis decks would be
crazy, illusions doesn't need donate and there are other things. i think
its funny that they are banning skullclamp in type 2 and yet one of the
fifth dawn precons has it in it. oh well i got a free playset of
lightning bolts tonight so i'm happy.

This isn't strictly true. 4-of-a-kind and 60 are the rules for
*constructed* deck design, and only *enforceable* in tournament or other
organized play. You would be perfectly justified [1] in taking a
25-bolt, 15-mountain deck into a casual game [2].

[1] Just not likely to make any friends.
[2] And in light of #1, you should be a lot bigger or faster than your
opponent, in case they take offense at your flaunting of the "rules".


There are no such limits on cards-per-deck (only a 40-card minimum) for
*limited* play (sealed, draft, etc.). If you open a pack with 11 Shocks,
you can play them. You might want witnesses to prove the cards came out
of the pack, but that's a different story.

[Really, discussions like this belong on .rules.]

No, you wouldn't be "perfectly justified". Even casual magic has
conventions. They are looser with the banned and restricted lists, but
I've never heard anyone but you ever say they would feel justified
showing up with a 25-bolt 15-mountain deck.

Next you'll be telling us you are perfectly justified top posting your
card auctions onto every post made here, violating another convention
that is also not strictly "enforceable".

Virtually all casual play adopts the 60 card minimum and 4 duplicates
limit, as the regular convention. Many relax on the banned & restricted
lists.

I'll concede that many groups will have an anything goes round, where
the objective is to show off your turn 1 kill deck, or games without
land, where you just draw a card and play it, without regard for mana
costs... and these rounds can be great fun... but showing up expecting
to play a deck tuned for that in the 'regular' game is not merely 'not
likely to make friends' its downright ignorant, arrogant, rude,
antisocial, and any number of additional uncomplimentary adjectives.

No, you are wrong. If you had spent ANY time looking in the
comprehensive rules you would realize that minimum deck size is
applicable for any constructed deck. If you CONSTRUCT a deck it is a
CONSTRUCTED deck, meaning all applicable rules apply. If it were DCI
rules that stated the minimum deck size, that would be a completely
different story. The comprehensive rules state:

100.2. In constructed play, each player needs his or her own deck of
at least sixty cards, small items to
represent any tokens and counters, and some way to clearly track life
totals. A constructed deck can
have any number of basic land cards and no more than four of any card
with a particular English
name other than basic land cards.

The one point you are correct on is that only tournaments can enforce
these rules. You have this delusion that cheating and violating game
rules is perfectly fine and is 'justified'. I do not believe it is
EVER justified to cheat, but that is where we differ.
