Ok, here's the scoop. Extended is a pain in the ass to
play. Don't get me wrong, but every time i play
something when there tapped out: "I'll Force" And i
just wanna reach across the table and slap the person.
Hell, id play with that card too, if i could GET IT. I
mean, i dont even have a job! It's hard to support my
magic playing without a consistent money source.

So, a couple weeks ago, im like why not move to type
2. Then im like "Hmmmmm, i dont have any Port or Dust
Bowl or any other 4 copies of rares that are
synonomous with type 2, plus there are the traditional
counters." Well here's where i decidedly went to IBC.

Now, while analsying IBC, im seeing decklists with
things like: 4x Absorb 4x Undermine 4x Rage 4x Spirit
Monger 4x Vindicate and so on and so forth. So im back
to my origianl problem. I grumble and decide to buy a
few more packs anyway and get some mediocre rares.
However, i notice that some of the commons and
uncommons are VERY powerful, some even more so then
these powerhouse rares. So im like "maybe i can make a
deck after all."

Now, these deck arent completely finalized and could
use some tweaking, but i like the way they are
heading.... without all those $10-$20 rares. Keep in
mind this deck was made for the budgetitally impared

I call this deck Slighers for obvious reasons:


4x Quirion Sentinel
4x Horned Kavu
2x Canopy Surge
4x Penumbra Bobcat
4x Magma Burst
4x Fires of Yavimaya
4x Scorching Lava
3x Thornscape Familiar
2x Thunderscape Familiar
3x Yavimaya Barbarian
3x Thornscape Apprentice
1x Assault/Battery
1x Flametongue Kavu
1x Scarred Puma


8x Forest
7x Mountain
4x Rith's Grove
1x Shivan Oasis


The Fires deck i always wanted in type 2 :) Yah, i
know what yer thinking about some of the cards. But
its whats i have for now, and i gotta make do.


And this is yer stereotypical black discard (without
the rares) :P


4x Ravenous Rats
4x Tainted Well
4x Urborg Skeleton
2x Addle
4x Bog Down
2x Hypnotic Cloud
4x Maggot Carrier
2x Soul Burn
4x Phyrexian Rager
4x Death Bomb
3x Phyrexian Battleflies
2x Cremate
1x Dredge


20x Swamp


I know. The cremate, tinated well, and the dredge. But
i had nothing else and they draw cards. and once every
87974 games tainted well will help. good stuff.

i dont have good rares. if you feel like it (which im
sure you do!) contact me back at this email
