TheMTGartifact What's supposed to happen, it just makes the A=13 italicised?

I'm not good enough at Magic to understand why this deck is so good.

I just tested this in vintage, and somewhat unsurprisingly it held up so well. Turn one Trinisphere's dont hurt at all, and there's nothing to Mana Drain or Force of Will. I can't wait to see more people playing this in vintage.

JakeHarlow The combo's pretty simple really, you play Island, which combos with Island!

thehalubi I know! I'm also surprised it isn't played more in vintage, i guess it's a bit of a secret!

I suggest a transformative sideboard where you replace 15 Island with 15 Mox Sapphire. Thanks!

Kaiser_Soze Your problem is that the Mox Sapphire technically isn't an Island They're artifacts!

TheMTGartifact Ah, that's very cool!

Needs to go under the Control hub! I mean, Islands counter everything right!

competetive, budget and standard.

CheeseBro This deck could go under so many more hubs! But sadly, last time i checked there is a cap to how many hubs one deck can be apart of.

jojo1234 What more could you ask for?

smackder Oh, i didnt know.

Land destruction would also be a great hub for this (destruction by land), but the hubs you've got suit this deck better.

May 6, 2015 7:56 a.m.

@smackder are you gonna use the A=13 island?

May 6, 2015 8:51 p.m.

smackder says... #17

alex105008 could be a possibility!

TheMTGartifact They're cool, but Unhinged Island's still reign on top!

Huh. This deck is too complicated and confusing for me. Islands will do that to you.

I think you need some Volcanic Islands. You know just in case they're running green. Mountains>Forest>Islands>Mountains

May 13, 2015 10:48 p.m.

smackder says... #20

Elitebetrayal Sadly the Mountain portion of Volcanic Island would make the actual Island's much worse. Island is obviously strictly better!

Elitebetrayal says... #21

But island negates mountain making the mountain part useless. And besides worse case we just scratch off the mountain word.

I love how this deck is over $450 LOL

May 14, 2015 6:36 p.m.

CheeseBro says... #23

you should make it one island of each set. or if you just used the foil full art promos. That would increase the price greatly

May 14, 2015 6:43 p.m.

smackder says... #24

Elitebetrayal Can never be as good as an Island!

Runlue Brilliance is expensive!

CheeseBro It's not about price, it's about how good the deck itself is!
