From: Lim Zhiyang Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 To: StrategyGuide@pojo.com Subject: Rising from Odyssey, Cephalids - Lim Zhiyang This is the main card of this deck..... Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor - 4UU Creature - Cephalid Legend 3/3 Tap an untapped Cephalid you control: Tap target permanent. UUU: Tap all creatures without flying. Creatures (18) 2 Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor 4 Cephalid Retainer 4 Cephalid Broker 4 Cephalid Looter 4 Cephalid Scout Other Spells (18) 4 Counterspell 4 Thwart 4 Levitation 4 Psionic Gift 2 Time Stretch Lands (24) 24 Islands Sideboard (15) 4 Hydroblast 2 Time Stretch 4 Persuasion 4 Syncopate 1 Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor This is actually a fun deck. Hold on with your counterspells until your Aboshan and Levitation comes out. Then comes the best and almost perfect combo, tap all opponents' creatures with Aboshan's ability.then cast time stretch for 2 rounds of unblocked assault from your cephalids. that SHOULD be enough to lower your opponent's life to zero. if u think the sideboard needs improvement (which i think it needs) feel free to change anything Thank You for reading this article and hope u enjoy it.
