Extended deck building challenge P.2
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Nov. 7, 2014, 2:19 p.m. by BlackyMTG
Hey guy's this is pretty much extended standard. You can play cards from any set from Innistrad to Khans of Tarkir excluding Sets for external formats like Modern Masters, Conspiracy, etc. same standard rules apply. 60 card minimum, no sideboard, and you guys can't pick the same archetype. As soon as I gather 7 more people I'll do a mini tournament with the decks submitted. I myself have dibs on UWR Delver. Good Luck and May the Odds be ever in your Favor! :D (Note: Got this idea from magicnerd!)

I'm surprised it's not playing Hellrider. That guy plus rabblemaster seems absolutely absurd.
November 8, 2014 5:31 a.m.
Just to clarify the bracket
Jund Midrange vs Junk Aristocrats,
Mono Black vs Esper Midrange Control (Miracles??),
RDW vs Junk Rites,
UWR Delver vs UW Control
Best of luck my friends!

2-1 Jund Midrange, posting the results periodically! :D
November 8, 2014 11:58 a.m.
2-1 Extended MBD over Esper Midrange. Serious mana problems for the Esper team!
November 8, 2014 12:03 p.m.

Why do I feel like my first victory had a lot to do with Bonfire of the Damned lol. are we gonna get any rundowns of the matchups? I'm quite curious as to how these decks play against each other. Also was gonna note UW Control should definitely not have Mana Leak in it, since that card would not be extended legal. Otherwise I would have ran Primeval Titan and other things that would have made people really hate me lol

Reverend, Yeah the UW Control lost to my Delver anyway 2-0. He got an Elspeth G2, but playing I figured it I figured the Turn One delver was scary and D Sphered that than the Mantis Rider came down and recked face. Actually you never even cast Bonfire of the Damned usually it only would have been cast for 2or3 as you never got it outside of an opener. It was more of your Scavenging Ooze that saved you, he kept you alive another turn for you to draw a Thragtusk into Huntmaster of the Fells Flip..

mmmmm Swagtusk, winning games you have absolutely no right winning since 2012. Gonna take a moment to reminisce about how awesome and retardedly broken Innistrad/Return to Ravnica standard was.

2-1 Delver. Game 1 He got mana flooded and the only other draws were Thoughtseize and Rakdos Cackler which can't block Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker and Stormbreath Dragon. Game 2 He got me with a combination of Geralf's Messenger and Whip of Erebos some other honorable mentions were Liliana of the Veil, Olivia Voldaren and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. I got him Game 3 with a series of Warleader's Helix, Delver of Secrets Flip, and him Thoughtseizeing twice to take my double Mantis Rider draw.

2-0 Jund. Game 1 Mono Red had some land problems, but they were Swamps! :D He kept a 1 lander with Vexing Devil and never went anywhere with the absolute power of Jund Midrange's double Thoughtseize hand to take the Vexing Devil to stall out until he cast Thragtusk and bashed face in with it and Huntmaster of the Fells Flip. Game 2 Jund ulted Liliana of the Veil as it went down to topdecking and none of his topdecks were burn just a series of Mountains and Burning-Tree Emissary which Jund had removal for and made him sac his mountains.

Final Game. I'm super stoked to have made it to the finals and I'm sure the Jund Player is too! My hopes are to string Mantis Rider's, Burn, Delver of Secrets Flip, and Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker's!

This should be a great matchup...if you get a solid early lead I'm in serious trouble but if I make it to turn 5 the game shifts highly in my favor. The race is on!!!! Good luck sir!

@reverendvile777 you're exactly right! Game 1 I had you down to 6, but you drew your 5th land on turn 6, and Thragtusked me twice and won. Game 2 I got an early lead with the burn and finished you off with Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker and Mantis Rider, I also got a Delver of Secrets Flip flip, but you had a Murderous Cut. Game 3 I had a turn 1 Delver of Secrets Flip flipped with Searing Spear on turn two with triple Mantis Rider and you couldn't get past 3 lands for Olivia Voldaren, Huntmaster of the Fells Flip and double Thragtusk. So I guess I win 2-1, please don't think I cheated and just said I won. I'm being completely honest here and taking away from my Call of Duty time to do this and I'd be sincerely happy if you don't complain! :D Thanks guys and hope you guys had as much fun as I did! Loving your guys's builds! Oh and magicnerd0815 I was wondering if you could host the next one like last time?

Ah the epic land screw :D haha I probably should have left some number of Farseek in from the old iteration but had trouble finding room. Great challenge though! It really makes me want to revive the extended format.
