I've seen a few Tendril Decks out there, however they all appear to cost in excess of $200, and i was wondering if it was possible to get a similar quick kill deck for a fraction of the price.
Although it doesn't happen every time, this deck still can win on turn 1, and still racks up fairly well turn 2-4, but it is very inconsistant at the moment. Here is how it all comes together at the moment.
Mana gain - Cabal Ritual Dark Ritual Mana Vault Lotus Petal Sol Ring. These all bring in some mana whilst also tallying up the spells per turn to help the storm ability. I also have my Priest of Gix which is effectively a free cast as i'm going to have mana knocking about from somewhere.
I also make use of my Initiates of the Ebon Hand in this deck, as any mana which comes from my vault or ring can be made into black mana until the end of turn (hopefully by which time i've anihilated my oponent!)
Card search - For the sake of one mana i decided to choose Demonic Consultation over Demonic Tutor, however after some unfortunate draws a few days ago, i'm contemplating swapping these back over. Cruel Bargain and Night's Whisper are also good to get a few extra cards in my hand whilst still tallying up spells cast; to be honest i'm not looking at my life total as very important in the first couple of turns as this is a one trick pony of a deck!
And finally, i've got my Yawgmoth's Will, which can obviously open up any and all of my mana gains for one last horrah so i can wipe out maybe two or three opponents in 1st turn... as long as i recieve the 'perfect' hand...
As i said, this is by no means perfect, but i am NOT going to accept that you need the Black Lotus, any of those Mox cards or Lion's eye Diamond to make a decent turn 1 Tendrils deck... Anyway, let me know if you can offer any advice, votes, or sandwiches! :)
