Deck Description

New to this so yell too much... lol

What you want to do is get out Land Equilibrium as quick as you can. Don't put any more mana then your opponent out. Then cast your Rukh Egg. Then cast Jokulhaups (i think there is another card that does the same thing but it is 1 more red, but you cannot counter it). So everything is destroyed but enchantments. When your egg goes to the graveyard it comes back as a 4/4 flyer. Now your opponent cannot play any lands cause of Land Equilibrium so just take your time killing him with your 4/4.

A good game would be you going first and getting 2 islands, sol ring, and land equilibrium. This would make it so that the person that is going against you cannot put out more then 2 lands. I didn't put in mox and black lotus in because that would make way too much, but it you have those and have them in starting hand then you can pretty much kill your opponent, and just wait for your cards to come.

All your spells are to counter creatures or to kill creatures.

This deck is not good against discard decks and deck grinding decks.
This deck is good against high casting cost decks and land destruction decks
If you play smart you can take on burn, counter, and fast casting decks.

Haven't lost yet with this deck. Even won a torment with it. The last person that i went against had a fast casting creature deck with buff to the creatures (white deck with no creature having a casting cost over 3). Had to let a couple of creatures attack me because i knew i couldn't keep up with him casting (would have ran out of counterspells by the time a big spell hit). So had to use my spells wisely.

This is a old deck, created this deck right before i stopped playing magic (around ice age) so there are probably a bunch of cards that can replace some of mine. I don't care about making this a type 2 deck just type 1 (i think that is what they call it, at least when i was playing). I also know that this deck is not on the cheap side.

This is a little different then the deck i use. The one that i use has 1 less island, which is replaced with a Tundra (Blue/White). Also added a zuran orb and Balance. (I will put these as side board)

Deck discussion for Land Lock

Interesting card to build a deck around. It could work out pretty well but I do not see this doing all that well. My suggestion is to build around this using Mox Diamond and other cards like it: Lotus Petal, Chrome Mox, Lotus Bloom. I think I saw a deck like this in one of my books from along time ago. I call it type 2 aswell but its called Standard now. You seem like my kinda Magic player, old school, screw Type 2 and Extended. Legacy and Vintage is where its happening. Check out my stuff sometime. +1
