No Goblins Allowed :: Deckbuilding contest (round 8)

Boy, what a good place to post this Temur Blood Mist + Siege Modification + Slip Through Space combo deck!

I'm down as long as the decks ARE pretty janky. Like, I hope the suggestion isn't "build a good Abzan midrange deck."

I want more wildly out-there stuff like "best deck to include 10+ auras" or something weird like that.

I want more wildly out-there stuff like "best deck to include 10+ auras" or something weird like that.

Theme should be to build a deck centered around new mechanics and new cards.

Even revisiting old archetypes should be good, since it's something new.
Ok i checked the constructed subforum and chose one of the top topics, since it's also one of the deck i'm building in these last days. So the deck of the week is: Abzan Revolt.
Anyone interested in the contest can post his decklist here, the deadline is the beginning of the Pro Tour

Then we will make a poll to claim the best revolt deck.
I think we can make public decklists without problems, but if someone wants i could change this and take the decklists by PM, and then posting them only for the poll.

I've got all kinds of ideas I'd like to bounce off others.. the first would be Grixis Control, featuring Dark Intimations.

In these last days people talked a lot about decklist, win rate, top tier decks, Creeping Mold needing to be banned in every format, Trump, but i suppose it's normal given the new release. We have tons of ideas in the constructed subforum, from trusted deckbuilders and guys. I wanna suggest a contest between them, a thing that is possible also using different platforms and also for anyone not joining the periodical tourneys. The idea is simple: someone(say me) suggests a theme(say improvise) and anyone who wanna join can submit a decklist built around this theme or at least with a relevant part of it within a week. Then next week we make a poll and every person interested can test all these decks and vote for the one that performed better or that they liked more. It is a good chance also for other people to see the deckbuilding process and learn something and for the deckbuilders to gain even more reputation. Maybe i should put also a constraint about having the same colors, but first let's see if people like this idea. We need at least 3 people to make it work. So cmon Modulo, Vert, even Hawk can build something decent if he believes in himself Round 1, Abzan Revolt Rules: viewtopic.php?p=532836#p532836 (experimental) Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=17836 Winner: DJ0045 Decklist 2 x Declaration in Stone 2 x Selfless Spirit 2 x Eldrazi Displacer 2 x Solemn Recruit 2 x Aetherstorm Roc 3 x Fatal Push 2 x Glint-Sleeve Siphoner 3 x Vengeful Rebel 2 x Greenbelt Rampager 3 x Longtusk Cub 2 x Tireless Tracker 3 x Hidden Stockpile 3 x Winding Constrictor 3 x Renegade Rallier 1 x The Gitrog Monster 3 x Forest 5 x Plains 4 x Swamp 1 x Wastes 3 x Aether Hub 1 x Canopy Vista 4 x Evolving Wilds 2 x Isolated Chapel 2 x Sunpetal Grove Round 2, Flicker Rules: viewtopic.php?p=538926#p538926 (still an experiment) Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18005 Winner: Divinevert Decklist 3 x Essence Flux 2 x Fall of the Titans 4 x Fog 1 x Jace, Vryn's Prodigy 3 x Elvish Visionary 4 x Commencement of Festivities 2 x Trophy Mage 1 x Nissa, Vastwood Seer 3 x Rogue Refiner 1 x Pilgrim's Eye 2 x Dynavolt Tower 1 x Consulate Turret 3 x Displace 3 x Glimmer of Genius 1 x Torrential Gearhulk 1 x Aethertide Whale 1 x Woodland Bellower 7 x Island 1 x Mountain 5 x Forest 2 x Lumbering Falls 2 x Hinterland Harbor 3 x Aether Hub 4 x Evolving Wilds Round 3, Dimir Artifacts Rules: viewtopic.php?p=542453#p542453 Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18116 Winner: Modulo Decklist 2 x Walking Ballista 4 x Renegade Map 2 x Merchant's Dockhand 3 x Fatal Push 2 x Syndicate Trafficker 2 x Scrapheap Scrounger 1 x Heart of Kiran 2 x Key to the City 2 x Smuggler's Copter 3 x Foundry Inspector 4 x Metallic Rebuke 3 x Unlicensed Disintegration 1 x Saheeli Rai 3 x Tezzeret's Touch 3 x Whirler Rogue 1 x Tezzeret the Schemer 1 x Skysovereign, Consul Flagship 1 x Herald of Anguish 3 x Island 3 x Swamp 1 x Mountain 2 x Smoldering Marsh 2 x Sunken Hollow 2 x Dragonskull Summit 2 x Drowned Catacomb 2 x Sulfur Falls 3 x Aether Hub Round 4, Pauper Rules: viewtopic.php?p=546984#p546984 Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18345 Winner: Modulo Decklist 4 x Blisterpod 4 x Might of the Masses 4 x Topan Freeblade 4 x Druid of the Cowl 4 x Kujar Seedsculptor 4 x Scion Summoner 4 x Glint-Sleeve Artisan 4 x Borrowed Grace 4 x Wildsize 4 x Peema Outrider 5 x Plains 7 x Forest 4 x Evolving Wilds 2 x Sunpetal Grove 2 x Canopy Vista Round 5, Rakdos Aggro Rules: viewtopic.php?p=559505#p559505 Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18768 Winner: DJ0045 Decklist 2 x Walking Ballista 3 x Inventor's Apprentice 3 x Fatal Push 2 x Glint-Sleeve Siphoner 3 x Forerunner of Slaughter 2 x Harnessed Lightning 2 x Scrapheap Scrounger 1 x Heart of Kiran 2 x Smuggler's Copter 3 x Thopter Engineer 3 x Weldfast Engineer 2 x Aethersphere Harvester 3 x Unlicensed Disintegration 1 x Cut // Ribbons 2 x Fleetwheel Cruiser 2 x Glorybringer 1 x Skysovereign, Consul Flagship 6 x Swamp 7 x Mountain 2 x Smoldering Marsh 2 x Dragonskull Summit 3 x Foundry of the Consuls 3 x Aether Hub Round 6, Zombies Rules: viewtopic.php?p=563993#p563993 Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18920 Winner: Elk Decklist 2 x Cryptbreaker 2 x Dread Wanderer 4 x Festering Mummy 2 x Fatal Push 2 x Dark Salvation 1 x Graf Harvest 4 x Binding Mummy 3 x Wayward Servant 2 x Scrapheap Scrounger 1 x Throne of the God-Pharaoh 2 x Diregraf Colossus 2 x Plague Belcher 3 x Lord of the Accursed 1 x Liliana, the Last Hope 2 x Anguished Unmaking 1 x Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet 2 x Liliana's Mastery 6 x Plains 10 x Swamp 2 x Shambling Vent 2 x Isolated Chapel 4 x Forsaken Sanctuary Round 7, GX Ramp Rules: viewtopic.php?p=570239#p570239 Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=19202 Winner: Elk Decklist 2 x Walking Ballista 2 x Sylvan Advocate 2 x Duskwatch Recruiter 4 x Druid of the Cowl 1 x Nissa, Steward of Elements 1 x Reclamation Sage 2 x Tireless Tracker 1 x Prowling Serpopard 1 x Nissa, Vastwood Seer 1 x Rhonas the Indomitable 3 x Weaver of Currents 3 x Explosive Vegetation 2 x Altered Ego 2 x Bounty of the Luxa 1 x Kiora, Master of the Depths 1 x Nissa, Vital Force 1 x Woodland Bellower 1 x Greenwarden of Murasa 1 x Ulvenwald Hydra 2 x Sandwurm Convergence 1 x Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger 3 x Island 13 x Forest 2 x Lumbering Falls 2 x Hinterland Harbor 1 x Rogue's Passage 4 x Woodland Stream Round 8, Lifegain Rules: viewtopic.php?p=573891#p573891 Poll: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=19313&p=575008#p575008 Winner: CardboardNomad Decklist 4 x Sacred Cat 4 x Cartouche of Solidarity 2 x Selfless Spirit 2 x Sram, Senior Edificer 2 x Glory-Bound Initiate 3 x Lone Rider 2 x Wharf Infiltrator 2 x Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun 2 x Smuggler's Copter 2 x Thalia, Heretic Cathar 3 x Trial of Solidarity 4 x Cartouche of Knowledge 3 x Reflector Mage 2 x Aethersphere Harvester 1 x Gisela, the Broken Blade 1 x Angelic Destiny 9 x Plains 6 x Island 2 x Prairie Stream 2 x Glacial Fortress 2 x Sandstone Bridge

I'd do it, sounds like fun - so long as the decks aren't too janky.

Post subject:	Re: Deckbuilding contest
My original idea was same color constraints and a theme, example like UB improvise, WR tokens, etc. I also like Vert's idea with something more spicy. Competitive decks would make the format more appealing to people to test these decks and to deckbuilders to give a better deck for the meta in a competitive environment. It is definitely possible also a janky week, to make it different. So, if we stay with the original idea at least for this first week, who want to suggest a theme/mechanic/archetype and the color costraints?

I am willing to bet the farm that these decks will be no better than tier 2.5.. bc these cards suck. The only way it gets decent is if revolt is a subtheme and not the total focus.. like a good stuff deck with some revolt.

I'm tempted to agree, but I have an idea to at least try.
