[All-Mana Mania]

Today, i will show you a deck that is fun to use and play with. The colors of it is {R}{W}{U} an is of course.. Midrange. Let me show you the deck:


4 {Glacial Fortress}
4 {Clifftop Retreat}
4 {Hallowed Fountain}
4 {Steam Vents}
4 {Sulfur Falls}
4 {Sacred Foundry}
24 lands


4 {Skyknight Legionnaire}
4 {Boros Reckoner}
1 {Lavinia of the Tenth}
3 {Lyev Skyknight}
4 {Boros Elite}
16 creatures


4 {Searing Spear}
2 {Ral Zarek}
4 {Supreme Verdict}
2 {Faith's Reward}
4 {Render Silent}
4 {Skullcrack}
20 other spells


Sideboard

2 {Chandra, the Firebrand}
4 Bonfire of the Damned}
4 {Ash Zealot}
4 {Detention Sphere}
1 {Ajani, Caller of the Pride}
15 Sideboard



Now lets look at some of the key cards in this deck.

Ral Zareck: I Know, I know, he just has been spoiled but is a really strong card for midrange. We are talking searing spear as is -2 and you could get 5 extra turns with his -7. He is a overall strong pw. I put 2 in here just because that i will use ones ultimate once i get to 7 so i can (hopefully) get more turns and the other one to smash the opponent with his +1 and -2.

Render Silent: Wait... What? Yes another spoiler card. But hear me out. Triple mana to counter a target spell and that player cant play anymore spells. Can i say good?! Really nice card for control.

Boros Reckoner: Amazing card for aggro!! Triple hybrid card for a 3/3 that can become a first striker. With his ability it is even stronger. Really nice card for the three drop spot.

Lavinia of the tenth: .... Another one?!?! Yes but dont worry, last spoiler card. She is one bad mother trucker. She has a great ability that DETAINS every nonland permanent with cmc of 4 or less. Great midrange card to have in your deck.


HUGE COMBO: Supreme Verdict + Faith's Reward: it is called "you lose and i win" it is a great combination that destroys all creatures but gets all of your creatures back. Great midrange combo.

Hope you guys enjoyed and please, pm me for more deck ideas.

You're off to a good start. Just a few minor grammar errors, and a write up on each individual card would be good to really give an idea of how cohesive the deck is.

Here's a few things to keep in mind when writing an article:

1) Define things. Yes, most everybody knows what a "pw" is, but in writing, and especially the first time you use a phrase, always define it. It may be easier for you to say "pw," "p/t," "CMC," etc., but saying "planeswalker," "power/toughness," and "converted mana cost" keeps your readers from having to guess or think too much about what is being written.

2) Punctuation. Know what goes where. Know when to use a comma, apostrophe, colon, semicolon, and even when to start a new sentence.

3) Numbers one through ten are always spelled out. However, 11 and up, it is acceptable to use the numbers.

These are just some minor things to keep in mind, and they, like the great game of Magic: the Gathering, are best learned and incorporated through practice. Keep at it!
