KnexWiz Date Joined: Mar 21, 2012 Posts: 45	I drafted a deck that was a little more crontrolling. Green and red are mostly splashed, green for Rancor and Quirion Dryad , red for Krenko's Command and Searing Spear . A key part to this deck are the 3 Archaeomancer as there are alot of spells that can be returned to your hand with him. The only problems i see with this deck are the lack of big creatures and suficeint mana fixing. Draft Picks: Spoiler: Show Round 1: Krenko's Command Chandra's Fury Archaeomancer Fog Bank Wind Drake Krenko's Command Rancor Elvish Visionary Mind Sculpt Titanic Growth Kraken Hatchling Mind Sculpt Trumpet Blast Dark Favor Plains Round 2: Mark of Mutiny Faerie Invaders Searing Spear Sleep Duskdale Wurm Archaeomancer Unsummon Quirion Dryad Elvish Visionary Ranger's Path Rewind Kraken Hatchling Index Fog Forest Round 3: Searing Spear Mind Sculpt Unsummon Archaeomancer Augur of Bolas Fog Bank Spiked Baloth Spiked Baloth Ravenous Rats Naturalize Goblin Arsonist Wall of Fire Craterize Hydrosurge Mountain Deck: Spoiler: Show Lands (17) 9x Island 4x Forest 4x Mountain Creatures (11) 2x Kraken Hatchling 2x Elvish Visionary 1x Augur of Bolas 2x Fog Bank 1x Quirion Dryad 3x Archaeomancer Spells (12) 1x Index 1x Rancor 2x Unsummon 2x Krenko's Command 3x Mind Sculpt 2x Searing Spear 1x Chandra's Fury all of my randoms: Spoiler: Show I am Blue/Green Take The Magic Dual Colour Test - Beta today!

I started off with mutilate over o-ring, which I think was a mistake, and then got greedy and picked Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker , reasoning that once I played him I would somehow autowin, but really it was because I wanted to play him. As it became clear that Blue and Green were open, and black was not, I abandoned that initial strategy, only to revive it again as a splash Bolas and two searing spear off farseek and two bolas gems. This is not a deck I would have assembled if I was trying only to win, but it is a deck I would try for if I was playing for fun. picks Show Round 1: Mutilate Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Bloodhunter Bat Fog Bank Wind Drake Vedalken Entrancer Rancor Elvish Visionary Ring of Kalonia Elvish Visionary Kraken Hatchling Naturalize Vile Rebirth Dark Favor Plains Round 2: Courtly Provocateur Ring of Evos Isle Rewind Prey Upon Scroll Thief Searing Spear Gem of Becoming Quirion Dryad Duty-Bound Dead Bond Beetle Tricks of the Trade Kraken Hatchling Hydrosurge Clock of Omens Forest Round 3: Searing Spear Farseek Predatory Rampage Scroll Thief Harbor Bandit Fog Bank Gem of Becoming Watercourser Blood Reckoning Bond Beetle Unsummon Guardians of Akrasa Craterize Hydrosurge Mountain Four Color Bolas Planeswalker (1) Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Creatures (12) 2 x Fog Bank 1 x Wind Drake 2 x Elvish Visionary 2 x Kraken Hatchling 1 x Courtly Provocateur 2 x Scroll Thief 1 x Quirion Dryad 1 x Watercourser Spells (10) 1 x Rancor 1 x Ring of Evos Isle 1 x Prey Upon 2 x Searing Spear 2 x Gem of Becoming 1 x Tricks of the Trade 1 x Farseek 1 x Predatory Rampage Lands (17) 2 x Mountain 2 x Swamp 6 x Forest 7 x Island

I'm not wild about Mutilate. With Wrath of God, you have to scheme and manipulate to get a 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 while sacrificing a lot of life in the process. Mutilate is often just worse, since its effectiveness varies greatly with how many Swamps you draw, and your plans could get radically derailed if a high-toughness creature shows-up. Oblivion Ring is never a liability and it can consistently address a bomb so long as one shows up.
