The Plaque
by Scott Arko
 
Hey all you at Pojo, I have adeck idea that involves two cards prominently. The deck is called the "Plaque" and revolves around Alloy Golem, Sway of Illusion, and Spreading Plaque. The idea is to set up Spreading Plaque, play Sway of Illusion on your opponent's creatures, then drops Alloy Golem with the correct color to wipe out your opponent's force all at once. The strategy will go deeper into the deck after the listing.
 
4 Alloy Golem
4 Metalworker
4 Mindless Automation
4 Avatar of Woe
 
4 Spreading Plaque
4 Pulse of Llanowar
4 Sway of Illusion
4 Liberate
4 Ensnaring Bridge
 
3 City of Brass
4 Brushland
6 Forest
4 Swamp
1 Plains
2 Island
 
This deck may seem strange to some. Cards such as Avatar of Woe, Mindless Automation, and Pulse of Llanowar may seem strange, but they serve an important role. The super powerful Avatar can easily be sent in for two mana because Spreading Plaque should drop creatures into the graveyard very quickly. The Avatar can also be used against Chimeric Idol and Artifact creatures. The Avatar can, last but not least, be used to win the game.
Mindless Automation can also help get the Avatar in quick, while at the same time leaving you with a larger creature and keeping the Ensaring Bridge under control.
Pulse of Llanowar is vital to the deck because of all the different colors in it. It allows you to play cards with whatever mana you have available.
Ensaring Bridge is used to keep creature swarms under control, while Liberate can save your Alloy Golem and at the same time returning him to destroy opposing creatures again.
 
Sideboard-
 
2 Saprazzan Outrigger
4 Gaea's Herald
2 Vitalizing Wind
4 Chimeric Idol
3 Disenchant
 
The Sideboard is designed to handle a variety of decks. Gaea's Herald helps to defend against control, as does Disenchant. Vitalizing Wind is used against rebels, since they should be pretty easily destoyed and then you can finish them off. Chimeric Idol is very good against control. Disenchant can also help against other decks.
 
Well, that's it. Please post this, it took an hour to write.
 
Good Luck!
