Hello,

Apologies if this has been suggested before, but how about:

1) You hold + click to grab the name of a card from your Inventory/Tradelist/Wishlist.

2) You hover the cursor over one of your decks and then release.

3) In your deck is 1x of the card!

Best,

LT

Oooh 'Near-Death Experience' is a much better deck title.

I'm not so much worried about it being competitive. Especially not in the literal sense. I'm sure it's way too slow for that.

It's more about amusing reactions at the kitchen table when you kill three opponents with one spell!

Funnily enough I just traded for Isochron Scepter. Orzhov Charm looks very cool.

Hopefully the deck concept could sing with a better combination of cards. I just don't know my way around Magic well enough yet to know what those cards might be smile

Hello,

I'm trying to build a deck around Death's Shadow, Platinum Angel, Bond of Agony and Repay in Kind. http://deckbox.org/sets/518676

Current build:

Death's Shadow (4x)
Platinum Angel (4x)

Silence (4x)
Not of This World (4x)

Bond of Agony (4x)
Consuming Vapors (1x)
Diabolic Tutor (4x)
Diabolic Revelation (2x)
Increasing Ambition (1x)
Repay in Kind (2x)

Elixir of Immortality (2x)
Darksteel Forge (2x)

Swamp (12x)
Urza's Mine (4x)
Urza's Power Plant (4x)
Urza's Tower (4x)

The idea is that that Death's Shadow provides serious early-game firepower if anyone goes aggro on me.

Then once Platinum Angel comes out I can plunge myself to minus health via Bond of Agony, and/or use Repay in Kind.

To help me get to all of the above quicker, I have 7 'search' cards: 4x Diabolic Tutor, 2x Diabolic Revelation and 1x Increasing Ambition.

Once everyone else is dead, Consuming Vapors sacrifices a Death's Shadow to bring me up to positive health so that I can win the game.

In case someone starts turfing my library directly into my graveyard I've got 2 Elixir of Immortality to help me deal with that.

Problems:

1) I'm concerned about instants countering my big plays.

At the moment I my solution is to put 4x Silence in the deck. However this isn't ideal as it will require me to put a source of White/Multicolor mana into the deck when I'd much rather have a mono deck.

2) Death's Shadow and Platinum Angel are currently very vulnerable to instakills; a lot of my friends have hybrid green decks - so lots of low CMC creatures with Deathtouch.

I should note: I'm partially covered here between Not of This World and Darksteel Forge.

3) I'm utterly vulnerable to creatures with Flying.

I've considered adding in a pair of Peregrine Masks, but it's not an ideal solution.

4) I don't have much in the way of basic defences other than Death's Shadow. This will especially be a problem if Bond of Agony doesn't come up early on. So some mooks might be good.

I've toyed with the idea of going Zombie-happy!

5) I probably need something that bestows Trample if Death's Shadow is going to be at all useful when attacking.

So, any ideas? smile
