The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
HalfDecking, you create half a deck and get to combine the other half with another pair to create an "original" deck. My personal design is a bit different as I like to choose lands and sidedeck later with the assumption of 20 lands per deck, so 60-20/2=20 cards for each of my HalfDeck posts (see note).Sideboard includes cards I'd possibly swap depending what I combine with.Props to wickeddarkman for creating this forum and as per his request: if you liked this list and would like to view others please search tag [halfdeck] (and remember to reprint this message if you create your own)Note: With this deck in particular 2 chrome mox, 4 lotus petal, and 4 dark ritual make up the mana base, so you would not add any lands to this portion of the half.Note: Special thanks to blazeshadow666 for the idea on this one.

credit where credits due, koby is definitely the god of this deck, but ty for my small part in the pull from eternity to gain infinite turns :)
Wow! Looks powerfull! I could imagine that the second halfdeck would need a bit of a mana-fix? Have you tested it with anything random so far? I could imagine it to be coupled with some of the emra-tron designs, or with counterheavy halves!
Sometimes you have to rekindle the spark of something, so here's a small nudge to all halfdeck-designers! I have not been building any new halfdecks since last time anyone participated, but I have been playing in both modern and legacy with some halfdeck designs, and can say that I'm starting to get good results with 2 of my merged designs. I started of with a black half focussed on discard, and a blue design based on counterspells. It went okay but wasn't radical enough. Second attempt I tried with black discard with deathtouch coupled with green and deathtouch, and I have now won at least 9 points in both modern and legacy with it. Once I get at least 12 points in both formats I will declare the couple for stable, and then I will see what happens when I either play BU-discard+deathtouch+counterspells+countercritters or UG-counters+countercritters+deathtouch critters. I write to each and everyone of you to know if anyone else besides me have got anything that might work in either modern or legacy :D
I can change that
It would be nice to see some halfdeck parts on the monthly top 8 somewhere.I actually got pretty far with the death touch + discard theme, and was working on a ping/counterspell half, when I got distracted by something else. Might have been the power of paperstrips.It would be nice to revive this project.I do have the knowhow for it, and need more than one deck when I return to modern.Go ahead and build something powerful.I always wanted proof of theory that the speed you could evolve within a meta would beat everything.
Heh, I'll also give it a go with the current meta archetypes.I'm working on "tron and taxes" a hybrid between urzatron and death&taxes.I'll post it in about 6 hours.
That’s a cool combination; good luck
I think I did okay on this one.Now I have to think of a third deckhalf that fits both the other.
this is a wicked neat decK. I love the condensed win con and pairing w/ children of K. I like the half-decking idea very much, it seems like a great way to influence further user participation.
If you like it you should make a half deck
Grisel Brand is the shit
I don’t like the neoform griselbrand deck though, it’s annoying, but I like the card
I made it into three halves, tron, d&t and merfolk.
