looks like a pwning deck.

Want me to send you a list?

Yes please.

You could always just send me both and I could form my own opinion.

I fail to see the point of playing this deck.

...

Why do people even play T2 anymore?

Prof, what you fail to realize is that some people enjoy that type of game.  Not everyone holds to the same values you do.

If it runs into a combo deck (like Gabe won with last year) that goes off on turn 2, then you'll just sit there sifting through cards as your opponent walks in 5-7 times on offense, and there will again be practically no interaction with your opponent.

I do not see those combo decks being played with anymore. If the new combo decks, the search ones that take a while do start occuring more, this deck will beat it since it is 10x faster.

Couldn't anyone say the same about type 1?
Type 2 is more strategy and longer games with more interaction from my experience.

My question is with two promised lands and a single artifact (temple veil) Do you ever run into problems with site decks? I think a well built, slightly fast, brown sitelockout could give you some issues.

I haven't run into a straight site defense yet. I've only seen a few sites, but those were purple and for the territory protection.    But I can see that changing, which is why I planned on changing the deck.

@Tyler - Yesh. I'd love a list, if I have enough of the cards I may use it at the next tournament and let you know how it goes.

@Prof - I hope you understand how inconsiderate you're being by arguing in this thread. I just wanted some input on the deck, not someone to post saying "Your deck is pointless to play with, it's no fun at all." Well, I see it as plenty of fun. HALF of my games I've had Just a Hireling discarded from my deck, having to find weird ways to block my opponent without it is actually quite fun. Also, I don't build my deck thinking "Oh, THIS will provide more interaction with my opponent!" I build it thinking "What strategies will I possibly be facing? Will this be able to win against (blank)? Would this work against (blank)? etc..."

I feel the same way about this sort of thing in Redemption.  When the interaction is removed, it seems to me that it turns into merely demonstrating how cool a person's deck that they built is.  The opponent is not really even an opponent anymore, but rather an audience to observe their awesomeness.  There is something about that which really rubs me the wrong way.

I'm yet to play someone who was truely upset that they had to play me when I was using a deck similar to this. Since this is directed at me, that's showing a lot of disrespect towards your fellow brother under Christ.

It's all good prof, we still love ya.
Anyway I am still testing it I really like this one version, and I am pretty sure you will too, but just working out any minor ratios now.
