The Dump Deck
So, i used to play magic pretty heavy back in the day. Then i took about a 10 year hiatus! So im back now, and man, things have changed. Here is my first attempt in ten years for a Standard Legal deck:
I started out trying to make a deck featuring Phenax, God of Deception. I also wanted it to be Standard Legal. I kept coming up with mana problems, so I encorporated a heavy Green foundation, as well as some artifact creatures. I focused on creatures that are cheap enough and that can be tapped for any color mana, rather than enchantment-auras.
Anyhow, i threw in some defenders, as they tend to be cheap, but have a relatively high toughness for their converted mana costs. With Phenax, God of Deception and a bunch of high toughness cheap creatures, I hope to dump the other player's library straight into their graveyard.
I added in some counterspells, as i dont really have much else to defend. Between Cancel and Countermand, i hope to counter and to help with my main goal. I added in Talent of the Telepath because it has the potential to wreak havoc, especially with Phenax, God of Deception and my defenders.
I thought about adding some cards in, like Mind Sculpt, Grindclock, Sphinx's Tutelage and some others, even Keening Stone (to bad this one is not Standard Legal!!), but opted for the Planeswalkers to help me out.
What do you guys think?
