Why not use galvanic blast? It is just as good.

Not running any artifacts at the moment.  Dont even know what i would take out to put artifacts. I think it may degard the deck?

It doesn't matter, galvanic blast is simply a better card than shock. Use that instead. Perhaps you may get lucky with 3 shrines or something, its better than nothing at all.

He doesn't run any form of Artifacts, for his deck a {Galvanic Blast} is exactly the same as a {Shock}.

It's strictly better than {Shock}.  Even if you don't have artifacts, for no extra cost, you might trick your opponent into thinking that you do.  They might decide to sideboard in an {Ancient Grudge}, which would actually be a wasted card for them.  hehehe

Didn't think about that, deception is a huge part of the game. The ability to psych out your opponent properly can win matches on it's own.

Naw, just make them play around things you have, one of the most basic part of the game.

If that's the case, then given the decklist your suggestion for {Galvanic Blast} really was pointless.

No it wasn't, according to your example, you are making your opponent play around your artifacts (that dont exist)and galvanic blast

See?  You just said to make them play around the things you have.  I know you're just trying to confuse me, but it won't be that easy.   :P

You are still none the less play around stuff, whether they exist or not is irrelevant. As long as your opponent is convinced it exists, that's good enough.

Here we are, poking each other about semantics, when the mana-base is completely messed up!  Good catch, Karrthus!

It's a clerical error.  He's not running swamps. I know, he's my friend and I played against that deck the other day
