Life Outside PLT1

Closing time. You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

Ok, I had a M:TG project going for a little while, revolving around a very stupid combination of cards.

The aim of the project was to build a deck that would exploit Transguild Courier to hurt people very muchly and make them go WTF.

In layman’s terms; Transguild Courier + Might of the Nephilim = sex

This was an excercise in “flippant deck design” and initial designs had very little regard for fundamentals such as “mana curve” and basically consisted of whatever cards I had on hand that I thought was “cool”. Then the design went through a stage where I basically said “fuck it” and ran the thing as “free wins” just to experiment with building a manabase in blue and green; colours with which i’ve had least experience playing.

Lastly, I poached the “somewhat acceptable” manabase of free wins to revive the transguild courier project which left me with a “sometimes effective, often consistent” deck which earned itself a fair amount of “lol whut?” in the time that i’ve played it.

Anyhow, the deck will be dismantled now; since it’s hogging 60 card sleeves, most of my good counterspells and my Carven Caryatid playset; all of which could find better homes in other decks.

As an indication that yes, the project is truly over and i’ll not touch the thing ever again; not even with a shit covered divining rod, i’m going to post the decklist.
