Title: Kemba's Last Stand
Post by: Spikepit on September 29, 2011, 07:41:43 PM
Here's a fun themed deck I made ages ago that has been carving at FNMs for weeks. It's based on the concept of the last surviving uninfected Mirrans retreating to Taj-Nar and rallying with  remaining  Leonin warriors in preparation for survival against the Phyrexian wave. That's why there's only one of most things, like in zombie games or movies where they're low on ammo/people and have just what ever's lying around. It's a fun deck, I made it coz it seemed like veryone in my area (including me) was relying on infect too much to win, so I wanted to appose that, you'll notice every card (bar planeswalkers, who were fighting for Mirrodin in the storyline, anyway) has the Mirran watermark. Enjoy and feed back is welcome! î,,

Made some modifications (removed {Assault Strobe} replaced with Dispatch and added Prototype Portal. Also thinking of adding {Sphere of the Suns} to be able to include {Venser, the Sojourner} just to have all the Planeswalkers involved in the rebellion. Any thoughts?

Is this competitive or not? If it is building a deck around only Mirran watermarks seems silly and adds an additional deckbuilding restriction to yourself.

I'll post more later, but for now I'd say more consistency. Adding random 1-ofs seems like it hinders your deck more than helping it.

I can understand how you'd think that, BUT it has won well more than its lost. Over my 14+ years of playing, it's been made obvious that having a playset of everything isnt always the only way to make a successful deck.

Indeed this is a Competitive deck (and has actually gained me a fair few wicked prizes) but I ultimately made it for fun mainly. Its supposed to be restrictive, ITS A MIRRAN DECK! Lol. I dont remember them winning the battle in the canon. ðŸ˜,

I looked at your analogy about zombies fighting and I thought that Horde Magic would be great! Just google it or look at GatheringMagic, but basically it's like zombie apolcalypse in Magic.
