So ye I just played through one of my sealed pools and ran into the jackpot, I got 7 slots unlocked but this one beats them all by a landslide. So I wanna know if any of you guys has ran into something similar or maybe even more broken than this. Anyways here is the deck I managed to put together.

Spoiler


I got 2 black/white decks that are pretty strong too but those still cant compare to this, shame I missed out on Murder but I do love the Elixir of Immortality with Diabolic Revelation works out pretty damn well when you got two of both.

That's pretty nice. Your curve seems to jump from 3cmc to 6cmc pretty quickly, relying on a bunch of weaker creatures to get you to your big flyer (better hope your opponent doesn't have a murder or pacify). But I'm sure that when it all comes together those Nightmares can probably close out games pretty quickly. I'm sure your opponents are probably wasting a lot of removal early on the Nighthawks and Specters, so maybe you are able to safely pull Nightmare out lategame.

You don't have very much removal but atleast you can recycle it.

I got one slot with 4 tormented Soul and 4 Goblin War Paint with a bunch of Shock and Murder. I think I have a few Giant Scorpions and maybe a Nighthawk in there for defense. It really takes people by surprise, especially when they remove the first Tormented Soul and a second comes out the next turn already swinging.

I also have a mono white deck with 6 Master of Diversion and a couple Honor of the Pure which seems to drive my opponents nuts!

I'm just over the whole Mono-Black or U/B decks in sealed. I only have 1 U/B deck and it doesn't really play like any other U/B deck I've seen. it's not so much about delaying the game so I can pull out big demons, it's a flying beats deck that uses Phantasmal Dragon, a couple nighthawks and bloodhunters but finishes with Rune-Scarred and Windreader Sphinx. Several Divinations and Blood Pacts help me get there and the deck ends up crushing people thru pure card advantage. I'm not sure if I prefer this or my U/R dragon deck in terms of flying beats. They're both fun, but Dragons leans more on Unsummon and Frostbreath to get my creatures thru while holding defense with Fog Banks.. If they aren't running flyers then Unsummon and Frostbreath become defensive too, making it pretty hard to hit me.

But my favorite are the R/G aggro decks. I just love the Beast/Advocate combo and everyone is so ate up on Murder/Assassinate that they forget that red has a lot of direct damage removal in Shock, Flames of the Firebrand and Meteor. Add Hunt The Weak and you have plenty of removal and big 'ol stompy creatures. Gotta run those spiders for flying defense though.



Edit: What system do you play on? I'm on PS3 and Max_uk is the only forum member I can get to play sealed with me.

im on PS3 go ahead and add me, Baxer87, ye the curve is pretty awkward but its working out better then i hoped, scorpions and nighthawks seems to be holding back the op well enough for me to get to 6cmc and once im there my tutoring gets me anywhere i want. I didnt draw any Mark of the Vampire that id like for the tormented souls but they do okey once they comes out in numbers. Ye ive been hunting for a proper beast deck but havnt had any luck on the the pools there and now that im up to 7 pools I dont wanna spend more money on it.

I feel you on that one. There comes a point where it's just not worth buying anymore because the lobbies just aren't that full. I've got 14 across 2 accounts and don't wanna buy any more but I never got any decks with a Grave Titan.... /sadpanda

I you want you can have some of my Grave Titans. I got like 8 of the things (including two in one deck) which was kinda ruining the variety in my Sealed decks since you can't not run the guy.

Okay, I'll trade you for my extra copies of the Hydras. Just tell me which one you want, I got a ton of both. We'll trade 1-for-1.

funny I got 2 grave titans in one of my pools but besides a rune-scarred demon the pool is rubbish, and thats the only pool I've managed to pull it in.
The hydras are probably the cards I fancy the most in sealed but same goes there short of luck everytime I manage to pull any of them, one of my pools have one of each but I aint even using green in that deck. I would like a green mono deck with atleast 3 hydras, preferably 2 of the primordial a dungrove elder, 4 spiders couple of swiftfoot boots but I would need to spend **** of cash on sealed slots to gain that kind of luck. I got plenty of clones too, Think I have 2 pools with 2 clones in them and same goes there no luck on blue so I dont even bother using them witch is a shame really. Would be awesome if the pools were added together lol.

Every time I get a Time Warp, I never get any Archeomancers, or really enough Blue to use them at all.

Shoot me a friend request on PS3, sixty4half is for both sealed and normal decks, Major_Tom_XX is for sealed only. I'll respond when I get home.

I'm flipping through my decklists and I remember I have a deck with 5 Murder, 4 Assassinate, a Cower in Fear and a Public Execution! Of course the rest of the black cards are things like Rotting Legion Minotaur Abomination and singletons of Tormented soul, distress, grim return, mark of the vampire and bloodhunter bat. I do have 1 Sengeir Vampire! If only I had like 3 quality black creatures it might have been something there.

Here's my UR deck;
3 Shock

2 Fog Bank
2 Essence Scatter

3 Frost Breath
3 Divination
1 Act of Treason

2 Phantasmal Dragon
1 Firewimg Phoenix
1 Marauding Maulhorn

3 Crumbling Colossus
1 Faerie Invaders
1 Scourge of Valkas

Wish I could have gotten atleast one more red dragon, but what're you gonna do?

Sry I meant to just make one post but my phone decided to not let me scroll withing the text box....

Here's the UB flyers deck;

Terramorphic expanse
2 Ravenous Rats (of which I almost always see both, weird)
3 Essense Scatter
1 Sign in Blood

2 Vampire Nighthawk
1 Giant Scorpion
1 Murder
1 Divination

2 Phantasmal Dragon
1 Archaeomancer
2 Bloodhunter Bats
1 Gravedigger
2 Mark of the Vampire
1 Sleep

1 Nightmare
1 Public Execution

1 Windreader Sphinx
1 Rune-Scarred Demon

This pack also has a Scourge of Valkas but far fewer flying red than black to trigger Windreader and its removal is only slightly better with a flames of firbeand and 2 shock. White would be an interesting choice with the blue. I have 3 Suntail Hawks, condemn, 2 stave off, pacifism 3 griffin sentinel, charging griffen and a Serra angel. I would lack Amy true removal and the sign in blood but that's a couple more flyers, if they are weaker. White also has 1 Indestructibility.

Here's one more;

1 Striking Sliver
4 Shock

1 Primordial Hydra
4 Predatory Sliver

2 Blur Sliver
1 Flames of the Firebrand

2 Briarpack Alpha
1 Might of Oaks

2 Fire Servant
2 Acidic Slime
2 Turn to Slag
1 Enlarge

1 Inferno Titan

It's a pretty brutal deck ifin either scenario where it gets the slivers going and kills you early, or goes lategame and just removes whatever is threatening me so I can get in for the win. Slivers are normally only an earl game delay with me getting 2 maybe 3 but the deck is even more dangerous late game with Might of Oaks being a champ but if I get either Fire Servant there's not really a creature in the game I can't burn down with Turn To Slag and the Slimes and Titans are good at clearing obstacles.
