EPTMono-red burn/aggro or Pyromancer Ascension is probably the way to go if you want a competitive deck without the equivalent of a PS3/Xbox360 in 4 cards.

i know there's more broken stuff possible but the countertop goyf decks that used to run rampart in extended like 3 years ago are a bitch. turn 1 dark confidant and then lock u down with counterbalance + top or beat down with a giant goyf attached to jitte lol. but playing again and somewhat getting back into the loop is fun. also cube draft with strangers in insanely fun edit: also these new rules confuse me. no mana burn plus i was incredibly surprised when i blocked a jitte wielding creature i couldn't sac b4 damage anymore (sakura tribe elder vs jitte anybody?) | ||

They changed the extended legal sets a while ago I think as in how many sets are actually legal for extended. Also packs/sets for draft changed... | ||

You can still block and sacrifice before damage. With the new rules, however, you can't sacrifice after damage like you could before. | ||

blah. been playing with pyromancer's ascension on modo, its quite humbling/infuriating to not see an ascension in 40 cards consistently. No idea why but i run consistently bad with any deck that ISNT control on modo. combo i whiff, digging for the ascension and missing (even missing counterspells) and ending up with 3 preordain, 2 foresee, 3 see beyond in the yard chilling out doing nothing. Playing 26 land boros (before rotation). Hand of say, Plains, arid mesa, steppe lynx, plated geopede, elspeth, Cunning sparkmage, stoneforge mystic. and getting consistently mana screwed (which began an epic week of tilt and losing. run bad baby). However with control, no problems on average. I'm a slave to blue. crap. Bad beat stories ftw! | ||

 From the site: + Show Spoiler + Please note: Because of recent activities from WotC's side (for smaller parts this and for bigger parts this), this site will be taken down on October, 22nd. It's my decision and not some sort of take-down from Hasbro. I do it, because I don't support a game, that doesn't support its players. I will not sell the site, the domain, or my database, so please refrain from asking. A big "Thank you very very much!!" to all the players, TOs and judges who submitted decklists and who supported this site during its time being. Yours truly, EvilBernd. It will be a sad day for me personally. I've used DeckCheck for inspiration, and to check up on what kind of decks people play with for as long as I can remember. It's also the only Magic related site I visit during periods when I'm not playing (you gotta take breaks  ). Hopefully something similar will come up, or perhaps there already is something similar that I don't know of. | ||

Waiting and waiting for a quest, only to have to play your creatures to chump more and more. Then, when you topdeck your quest you have exactly one memnite left in your hand or something. Almost makes me want to play goblins, it does. | ||

Or, someone plays a turn 2 Ratchet Bomb, which basically guarantees a blowout against that deck, no matter what you do. | ||

He plays Kozilek. I have no removal so I Mana Leak it. He gets his yard back, we continue the stalemate. 3 turns later he plays Kozilek again. I leak it again, he gets his yard back again. I'm digging for a Journey to Nowhere or something to deal with Kozilek if it comes up again.t. Kozilek comes out like 5 turns later while we're still stalled on board, I tap it down with Frost Titan till he plays a relevant threat and all I have is DoJ. I don't have leak, have to wrath the board when he burns out my titan. STILL waiting on my Journey while he gains like 60 life while I beat him down, he plays Kozilek AGAIN and it sticks this time =[ | ||

In general, Merc. Masques was a pretty shitty block, redeemed only by a few format staples at the time (e.g. Blastoderm), and reprints of old goodies (Brainstorm). | ||

Just couldn't remember most of the shit out of Nemesis... What about Visions? I opened a few, didn't seem that great. Their lands were interesting though. | ||

 I am putting together a LED-less Dredge deck. | ||

And some of these decks seem like rogue decks. I would say pox, led-less dredge, and maybe a storm deck are the few that would have good match ups all around. Especially in game 1. and a budget storm list seems slow and a bit fragile though decks like pox and led-less dredge can run at full power withought any expensive cards. | ||
