Always ;) I give credit where it's due. Can't find every combo in STD by myself :P

Just FYI mana empties between phases unless a card's effect says otherwise.

Yup, but not between steps.

How does this work? Armed costs two on turn 2 and cipher only triggers after combat damage, when it will be too late to cast giant growth. Please explain!

Artful Dodge for unblockable later in the game would be useful.

yuppp! Would be broken otherwise :( This is a gimmick, don't know many other turn 2 wins.

From my playtesting of this deck it is awesome. Even if you don't get the turn 2 combo it doesn't matter because you can easily explode into a game winning combo on pretty much any turn but turn 1. Heck it is super easy to win with a lone arbor elf and wild defiance. Amazing deck dude. +1

How about some drawing power?

Strangelove says... #15

Hmm it's needed... know anything that'd fit especially well?

Only ones I can think of at the moment is the cluestones, Cremate , Curiosity , Dangerous Wager , Desolate Lighthouse , Desperate Ravings , Divination , Elvish Visionary , Faithless Looting , Fleeting Distraction , and Wild Guess there are a few more in standard but will have to take a closer look im really leaning more towards the one drops like Fleeting Distraction , Cremate etc...

DELICIOUS! I'm doing my best to make this deck feasible for FNM lols and I never knew how great Hidden Strings was for this. Most definitely will try some of these cards in mine. +1 buddy!!!

Think Twice would be a great card draw for the deck

Strangelove says... #20

You're right! How would I make room tho : /

Erm... 4 + 9 + 11 = 24, not 23.

Also, wouldn't Teleportal work better than Blustersquall ?

Doolbeurt says... #22

Personally, I like Blustersquall better. its instant speed so its slightly more versatile. its overload is just a bit cheaper, which makes them unblockable anyway. but really its a hard choice.

I have a deck like this one and its really hard to trim the fat when you want all the greasy-cheesy goodness you can shove into one patty and a bun... wait, were we talking about Magic? Maybe i'm a little hungry

Strangelove says... #23

Thx :) Typo. Blustersquall > Teleportal because its instant and costs UR instead of U. So its cheaper and can be used defensively if necessary.

nice. i'm definitely a combo player...and i love seeing new things come out. i knew about the cyclops turn 3 win...but a turn 2 win is pretty slick. right now i run the Axebane Guardian and Galvanic Alchemist combo. it's not nearly as fast as your deck...but it is definitely consistent. haven't put up a deck list yet...maybe i'll do that now. +1 on bro. keep on keeping on.

here. i just posted it. it's called Firewall. let me know what you think. i could use a little help. for some reason it's not letting me link the deck...but it's on my page.
