Yet another yammer- Volrath's Stronghold (Stronghold....ironic)

 

It's Justin again with another yammer about Volrath's Stronghold from the Stronghold set

 

If you wish to e-mail me for some more ideas for decks or whatever you can reach me at tiedyedude88@hotmail.com

 

Now....onto the strat..

 

 

I'm sure we all are familiar with Steel Wall (Mirrodin) and realize it is useful for an early blocker.....but the uses for it are far beyond that.....

 

I run a Blue/Black/Artifact deck that focuses on milling my opponent (Without Millstones.....unfortunately) with Grinding Station(Fifth Dawn), Woebearer (Mirrodin) to bring back my artifact creatures to grind over and over again....and that is how I came up with this strategy

 

First you should have Steel Wall and Grinding Station out....and then grind the wall so that your opponent discards the top three cards of their deck....use Volrath's Stronghold and pay 1 Black and 1 Colorless/Generic to place the wall back on top......

A solid milling will be taking place.....epecially if 4 walls are in the graveyard and you use Raise Dead(8th Edition) or Reaping the Graves(Not sure) to bring them all back to hand.....play one....grind....play another....untap Grinding Station....grind the other...and so on

 

Revival decks rock!....when used PROPERLY
