From: Brett Livingston Subject: Deck Help #1 Alright... I don't like the decks being sent to me, mostly lands. Obviously you haven't learned from the other posts if you read them that lands are very helpful. If you are playing a deck with casting costs of 1/3-1/2 of 1 and a few others use 20 lands, 8 of which shoudl be search lands mostly i use 20-22 depending Here's a bad example for a B/U control deck 9xSwamp 10xIsland That should look like-- 4xUnderground River 4xPolluted Delta 2xDarkwater Catacombs 1xCephalid Colisseum 8xIsland 7xSwamp See? And Goblin deck 20xMountains Come on! Every deck almost should use the onslught search lands 4xBloodstained Mire 4xWooded Foothills 2xGoblin Burrows 10xMountain See? Painlands are very good, Search lands are excellent Painlands are Adarkar Wastes, Underground River, Sulfurous Springs, Karplusan Forest, Brushland. Search lands are: Flooded Strand, Polluted Delta, Bloodstained Mire, Wooded Foothills, Windswept Heath. Hope I helped! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
