Another article attempt.
Today is an interactive article. The first person to post will be the one I choose.
Pick any rare card in standard an I will attempt to make a deck around it.
The only rules are no {Battle of Wits} and no {Door to Nothingness}.
Also please do not pick already popular cards.
Me
{Shimian Specter}
Ok lets do this!
4x {Shimian Specter}
4x {Artful Dodge}
4x {Neurok Invisomancer}
4x {Invisible Stalker}
4x {Runechanter's Pike}
4x {Duress}
4x {Distress}
4x {Dispise}
4x {Murder}

1x {Negate}
4x {Darkslick Shores}
4x {Drowned Catacombs}
2x {Evolving Wilds}
7x {Swamp}
5x {Island}
Alright!
Can I be a playtester? lol
No extractions? With so much discard I would def want 4 of those!
Actually I was kinda joking, but now that I think about it, it would be fun to test decks built on an article like this. So, seriously, if you want them tested, I'm up for it! :)
Can it only be rares? Or can it be a mythic rare? If so I pick { Chandra, the firebrand}.
For the rare I pick {Norns' Annex}
Please playtest these I would really appreciate it.
Ok and for the other request.
4x {Norn's Annex}
4x {Curse of Stalked Prey}
4x {Rage Extractor}
4x {Porcelain Legonaire}
4x {Whitesun's Passage}
4x {Gut Shot}
4x {Chandra the Firebrand}
4x {Slash Panther}
4x {Act of Agression}
{Glistening Oil}
Alright, give me an hour or so and I will! ξ
I have a perfect one for you {world slayer}!

4x {Glistening Oil}
4x {Assult Strobe}
4x {Artful Dodge}
4x {Tainted Strike}
4x {Chambreaker Devils}
4x {Snapcaster Mage}
4x {Murder}
4x {Stuffy Doll}

4x {Drowned Catacombs}
4x {Sulfur Falls}
4x {Dragonskull Sumit}
3x {Darkslick Shores}
3x {Darkcleave Cliffs}
2x Island
2x Mountain
2x Swamp
Played the Annex deck against the Specter deck and the results were:
G1 - Specter (15/15 Specter while Annex was top decking lands)
G2 - Annex (7/5 Slash Panther and Specter was drawing nothing of consequence. Invisible Stalker couldn't keep up)
G3 - Specter (A close game. Specter at 7 life and Annex dropped a Chandra. Both were top decking and Specter pulled a Specter with a Runechanter's Pike out, making him a 9/9 while Annex had nothing but Chandra and Norn's Annex out)
Specter goes on to play against Oil!
Specter Vs. Oil
G1 - Specter won. Oil was getting really high CMC cards while Specter was moving quickly with {Invisible Stalker} and {Shimian Specter}. Oil didn't even get a creature out for more than a turn.
G2 - Specter wins again. Oil was stuck with 2 {Stuffy Doll}s and a {Snapcaster Mage} on the field and just couldn't do enough damage (infect or reg) to keep up with the {Invisible Stalker} and {Shimian Specter} (which won the game with {Runechanter's Pike} as a 9/9)
So far, {Shimian Specter}, {Invisible Stalker}, and {Runechanter's Pike} are amazing!
I have 2 that I would be interested to see, Thorn.
{Bazaar Trader} or {Ravenous Demon}
4x {Bazaar Trader}
4x {Jinxed Idol}
4x {Bronze Bombshell}
4x {Lightning Bolt}
4x {Chromeshell Crab}
4x {Switcheroo}
4x {Mindslaver}
4x {Kraken Hatchling}
4x {Fog Bank}
I do not know any non-standard dual lands so put whatever you want in.
(within reason)
The {Mindslaver} is so that you can give them a {Bazaar Trader} then take over their turn and then use their {bazaar trader} (formally yous) to give you their best permanenet.
I don't either. I use scars through Innistrad duals
4x {Ravenous Demon}
4x {Thraben Doomsayer}
4x {Skirsdag High Priest}
4x {Gather the Townsfolk}

Woah, distractions galore! But I'm on it now!
Ok, I'm uber tired for some reason, but the Bazaar deck didn't fare so well against the Shimian Specter deck. Bazaar lost twice in a row due to the {Invisible Stalker}s and {Runechanter's Pike}. The Specter deck is becoming increasingly fun to use! :P I'll try to finish these tomorrow without all the distractions of the weekend!
