That's what I was looking at when I was campaigning for four cards :P Still wouldn't have been good though, but it would have been fun.

what would the fourth card be? anyway LA isn't really necessary there, tablet is lethal on its own since your opponent takes their upkeep first. the tablet deck's problem is it can't play reactive answers 'cause the mana's not there and no proactive answers exist cheap enough.

:duel:

Fourth card was Lions. Basically it was a transformer deck that prayed off Unsummon and Control Magic and lost to a bunch of stuff :P (mainly cause I forget that the opponent also has a fourth card)

Edit: Although now that I think about it more, it would totally work with Forest and Elves huh?

Why I chose my deck:
Spoiler


I thought it a bit too revealing on what I'd play

So, vanilla with no wasteland, no lotus, no Channex and either inquisition or force of will.

No, ghost quarter is wasteland.

Ghost Quarter is Strip Mine. Both are considerably better than Wasteland in this format because people can run basics to make themselves wasteland-immune but that remedy wouldn't stop Ghost Quarter nor Strip Mine.

Wasteland should probably be alt-banned if SM and GQ are

It gives incentive to play with basics, so my Daze-Chronomaton-Island deck isn't strictly worse than Daze-Cenn's Tactician-Tundra

So here's my question after seeing all the bans: Is inquisition of Kozilek even relevant now that Encroach is banned? With Encroach banned, dual storage land becomes a much more potent deck. When Encroach was a possibility, it seemed like the two created decent tension: Do I play basics and become vulnerable to IoK, or non-basics and be vulnerable to Encroach?

Now it just seems like you pick Despise or countermagic (assuming you want the "control" deck) and don't look back...

I've got two competitive new decks that are both really fun...but they're both vulnerable to different meta compositions...which to play?

i played the first deck that came to my mind that i was excited about

I think thats pretty good advice this round..my idea of what the strongest decks are all 6-0 two of the decks and 0-6 the other two.

That depends. Do you still consider Lion's Eye Diamond/Gibbering Descent/Quicksand a deck? Because I do. That deck is WAY better if people are going for storage lands. Inquisition at least earns a split.

My tier one list was
Leyline
Ulamog
Gibbering
Dual Mayor

Tier two breaks out the Bridge Variants and Control decks (including Scepter)

Edit: So IoK actually seems pretty solid after thinking a bit, not sure if its better than Despise though...depends on how many people play storage dual threat (or ignore counters and dual storage threat). Also forgot to add Lands.dec in there as tier 1.5
