gnizz00 Cheers for the feedback. I'm very happy to find out that the Snow-Covered Island did their job and cooled you down. Wizards are thinking about banning this deck because it's so strong, so get in as much play as possible before they do that!!!

Alright, I know this deck has probably been tested extensively, but I feel that you shouldn't go over 60 cards in the main board. All consistency is lost the more you go over 60. I just feel like the deck would be a lot better with 60 Island s instead of 61. You just can't count on having a good opening hand when you go over 60.

celestite4 The main issue with 60 cards is that you don't actually have enough cards to be consistently be playing Island s, but with 61 cards you always get that one step ahead of your opponent!

This deck seems too bland, it lacks that special something, Oh wait I know. This deck needs a Foil island.

Chipmunk47 Shit that's a good idea! Might have to think about testing to see if a foil Island will work!

everybody talks about how Boil ruins us. Nuh uh. Just play more Island. Choke? Who gives a shit. I don't have anything to spend my mana on. Way to 0 for 1 yourself opponent.

I tried to build this deck, but since I live in Minne-snow-ta, all of my Islands became Snow-Covered Islands spontaneously. This deck is too hot for the frozen North!

I boarded all Snow-Covered Islands versus Burn.

It was so hot that my Islands turned into steam. My opponent was shocked when he figuerd out that he turned my Snow-Covered Islands into Islands, which then became Steam Vents - and that the Mountain on the Island is an unbreakable defense... Thats just broken...

By the way, I cut one Island so that I can really play the essence of the deck... This is truly a Tier 0 Deck, I won't wonder if Island gets banned...

PsyRo Cheers for telling me your Island story. The best thing about the deck is that it's so versitile and you can do some much with the Island. I doubt Wizards will ban Island's because there would be riots!, the community loves the Island so much!!!

izzetme Why would you take away an Island for a Mana Confluence!!! They're the reason the deck works!
