No, not "bombs" as in that big important thing in your deck. "Bombs" as in explosions!. Another thread got me thinking about one of the first decks I built in magic and how much fun it was. I was proud of it too because it could win about half the time against my friends. This is a variant of the deck because I can't remember all the exact cards, just the main idea. W/R Explody 4 x Goblin Arsonist  4 x Doomed Traveler  4 x Perilous Myr  2 x Unruly Mob  4 x Mudbutton Torchrunner  2 x Caldera Hellion  4 x Holy Day  4 x Dawn Charm  4 x Sylvok Lifestaff  2 x Hellion Eruption  2 x Elixir of Immortality  4 x Clifftop Retreat  11 x Mountain  9 x Plains  For the most part, that was the deck. I would use the lifestaff on my creatures that could die easily as blocking fodder so people didn't want to swing at me often (worked great in multiplayer). When I got into a mess I couldn't block, I'd fog it. The Caldera Hellion and Hellion Eruptions were my win condition: Eat my field, gain life off the staffs, everything blows up in my opponont's face, and I'm left with something in return. It was fun. Not sure if I'm going to rebuild this deck.... I might. What do you guys think?

Basically the deck was built around creatures that I wanted dead, not alive. Instead of quick-killing em with sac outlets, I let em litter the field like caltrops, preventing ppl from wanting to swing at me. (For the most part that tactic worked flawlesly... thanks psycology!) Then, I drop something to blow em all up at once! So massive amount of pinging damage is directed at my opponent, and I get something in return. The deck was fun in multiplayer because I normally played the "quiet" player and sat there doing pretty much no attacking till one person was left... then they got blown up! I'm thinking if I rebuild it to add Phyrexian Rebirth  to the deck to give it some more white. Also I liked 1-2 of your suggestions ReveillarkAbuser. (also: don't worry about misreading the deck's intentions. I confused a lot of ppl with this deck)

Reminds me of Code of the Orzhov, or at least what my brother ended up doing with it. With the haunt ability, Hissing Miasma  , Infectious Host  , Souls of the Faultless  and Suture Priest  , it pretty much just shuts down the opponent and then slowly sucks away at their health with stuff like Pillory of the Sleepless  , Agent of Masks  , and again, Suture Priest . I hatehatehate that deck so much. With his most recent re-creation of it I don't think I've beaten it once.
