Trying to break Hushwing Gryff.Hushwing Gryff and Torpor Orb equals insane creatures for dirt cheap mana!Want a 12/12 creature with trample for 1 mana?Would you like a 9/8 creature with both flying and trample for 4 mana?And, what about having a 7/7 creature for 2 mana?
Okay, ladies and gentlemen. Here is the breakdown, for your viewing pleasure.Step 1. Play Hushwing Gryff or Torpor OrbStep 2. Play fatties for very little mana.Step 3. Play stuff like Spirit Link and Apostle's Blessing, and attack. ***********************************************************************************Card Breakdown:Hushwing Gryff and Torpor Orb have "Creatures entering the battlefield cause abilities to trigger." Key to the deck. Makes all the bad "when this creature comes into play" triggered abilities null. Mother of Runes and Apostle's Blessing = 1) Protect your fatties from removal. 2) Make your fatties unblockable! 11/11 unblockable creatures are fun. Eater of Days/Phyrexian Dreadnought/Hunted Horror = Welcome your fatties. No bad side effects when these guys are brought in because of Hushwing Gryff and Torpor Orb.Tainted Strike. Put it on Dreadnought, giving you a Turn 2 win!Dark Ritual. Mana ramp to the max. Turn 1. Swamp into Dark Ritual into Torpor Orb into Phyrexian Dreadnought = First turn 11/11 creature in play.Lightning Greaves. Help protect those beautiful fatties. Greaves gives me both haste and Shroud. Enlightened Tutor = 1) Gets you one of your Artifact Fatties for 1 mana. 2) Gets you your Torpor Orb, in your hand, if you haven't drawn A Hushwing Gryff or another Torpor Orb yet. Night's Whisper = Keeps cards in your hands, more fatties in your hand equals more fatties that can be put on the board.

I second that sentiment.
agreed this is cruel but so god damn amazing.
how is this even possible omg
Possible like this:Turn 1. Play Swamp. Play Dark Ritual. Play Torpor Orb. Play Phyrexian Dreadnought.Turn 2. Play Plains. Play Spirit Link on Phyrexian Dreadnought and attack.Outcome = You attack with a 12/12 trample creature, with lifelink, on turn 2. Opponent takes 12 damage, and you gain 12 life. Or Turn 1. Play Swamp. Play Dark Ritual. Play Torpor Orb. Play Dreadnought.Turn 2. Play Plains. Play Apostle's Blessing on Dreadnought.Outcome = You attack with a 12/12 unblockable creature on turn 2. It has been a deck, for awhile now. I just added the Hushwing Gryff to the mix, since it is a new card.Hope you liked it, SmoothJaz.One more example, that doesn't involve a dream hand:Turn 1. Play Plains. Play Enlightened Tutor getting out a Torpor Orb in your hand.Turn 2. Play Swamp. Play Dark Ritual for 3 extra mana. 4 mana total with Plains. Play Torpor Orb for 2 mana. Now play Hunted Horror.Turn 3. Play Plains. Play Phyrexian Dreadnought. Play Apostle's Blessing for 1 mana and 2 life, targeting Horror. Play one mana, that is left for Spirit Link on the Hunted Horror. Attack with Hunted Horror, gaining life and damaging opponent, since he is unblockable (due to Apostle's Blessing).Turn 4. Play Swamp. Play Lightning Greaves on Dreadnought. Attack with Dreadnought and Hunted Horror.
Jessie, why,why. This just evil( though im like that some times too) . Teaming with phyrexians. For shame
It is shameful...considering I call myself a fan of Urza.
Well at least they aren't eldrazi
Reminds me of a deck I have:http://www.mtgvault.com/berndttoast/decks/sundial-of-the-orb/Nice use of white in this. Most of these styles of decks just focus on black. As you can see in my deck, my alternate torpor orb is sundial of the infinite. Trigger goes on the stack and the turn is ended, no drawback. Interesting take.
I guess I am failing to see how cloudshift will make a copy of the dreadnought?
Yeah, I am not sure how that would work either... O.o?Also how would putting spirit link on phyrexian dreadnought get you mana. It gets you 12 life every turn perhaps, but not mana.
Crap...need to do some some changes. Thanks guys. Deleted the comments. Again, thanks for catching that. Cloudshift...i think my mind was on Splicers, lol.And Dreadnought and Spirit Link...sounded like i was drunk, on that one. I kept thinking he was 11/11..even posted it on my deck description and on my other decks, as a plug...lol. And of course, I meant life...not mana. I am a dork.
meh, its all good. It happens to everybody.
Ah huh , I did it in front of my dad, he was confused as fuck
Very cool. :). Oh, another card you might consider is stifle. In case you don't have orb or gryff out yet, but need a creature.
Will need to spash blue mana for it. Might put stifle and some blue producing mana cards in the sideboard.Thanks for the suggestions, as always!Seen your brother just put up another interesting deck!I much enjoyed it. :)
Sorry... I have never seen a build like this without blue. :). I forgot out was white/black. My bad. And I will look at his new deck. I hadn't seen it yet. :)
another card is that works well is illusionary mask..
Need some judging for this one but would calciderm be viable? The description for vanishing says "come into play" Also I was curious about woolly razorback and thoughtweft trio
I am not sure.That is an excellent question.Puschkin, Kazzong, or surewhynot are great at answering questions about rules.Hope i gave you deck ideas :)
But If i had to guess, nba, I would say yes.
From what I recall about this kind of a trigger is that if a card would check for a state (does it have counters, does it not have counters) then that trigger would be ignored. For example, annihilator is a triggered ability. it states that a specific condition must be met, then, and only then, will the ability take effect.ok, so anything that triggers when it enters the battlefield would be effected. calciderm doesn't state that it gains anything or does anything on entry. simply that it enters WITH something. now if it said that it gained counters when it entered... that would be another story.woolly razorback I think is in the same boat. and wouldn't be effected by Orb or Gryff for the same reason. the game doesn't ask about the state of the card upon entering the battlefield.thoughtweft trio however, does trigger upon entering the battlefield. so it would be effected.hope that helps.
Yes Jessie I'm in the process of putting a deck like this together now lol it's just too fun not to! Might I also suggest dust elemental? and thank you Kazzong that definitely helps.
Dust Elemental shows much promise with Torpor/Gryff. Great call on that one! Good luck on your deck. Post a link here, and I will definitely look it up.:)
Thanks, much appreciated!
Wow. Didn't think you found a way to improve on my deck (http://www.mtgvault.com/tleung84633/decks/cheat-the-fatties-out-there/) but you did. Still a little wary on the leveler and eater of days. A little high on the mana cost, but there are still lots of black fatties out there (demonlord of ashmouth, nyxathid, and avatar of discord to name a few). Great job! +1!
Leveler is bad, no trample or evasion = chumped for days. Not to mention most people in casual run artifact removal alongside creature removal.
What would you suggest to replace it with? Run 4 of the other creatures? I can do that. Tell me what you think. Thank you, kindly, for your thoughts/suggestions. But you do know, Viagrasaurusrex, that I have Mother of Runes and Apostle's Blessing to make my fatties unblockable. I took out the Leveler though :)
Is this deck intended to be Legacy competitive or just casual?
Always casual. Most of my decks are legacy/vintage...and most of those are under 500 dollars. :)I know, this deck would be raped, hard, in Tourney play.
I just wanted to know because the budget is quite high for a casual deck, a nice card (for casual) would be Demonic Tutor maybe instead of NIght's Whisper
I want it to stay legal even though it is still Casual...weird, I know. :)But yeah, Tutors are awesome freaking cards. With Night's Whisper...i was trying to use it to make sure I don't top deck too badly. Thanks for the suggestions!
Lightning Greaves - makes the deck both faster and more resilent. Artifact creatures aren't exactly hard to kill.
I took out the Disenchants for them...i have no idea, what else i would of removed. Any suggestions? Cause I hate to run no artifact/enchantment hate in my decks. Makes me feel like they aren't well rounded.
I would have cut the Spirit Links first. You should have the bigger creatures and the the opponent should be busy chump-blocking. I don't know about your card pool and budget contraints but if you have them, you could replace the Spirit Links with Vindicate and call it a day.
I had spirit links for life. I keep imagining getting ran over with weenie creatures. But...put a spirit link on a Dreadnought...and gain 12 life every turn. Or something like that. For now, I replaced the Greaves with the Disenchants. Let me playtest it. I probably will be able to remove the Spirit Links.
Great deck, nice theme, i think it would be good for 4 torpor orbs, they are harder to remove than the 2/1 creature
Done and done. :) You and Possum were right on the money, with your suggestions.
why only 3 torpor orbs?
I was thinking that Enlightened Tutor could be a search engine for a Torpor, if i needed it. But you give sound advice, and are probably right. I will up it to 4 :)
myr superion?
He doesn't have any creatures that produce mana, so this would not work.
Okay guys. Before the hate starts. ALL of my vintage/legacy decks are casual. When people speak of vintage/legacy...it doesn't have to necessarily mean: Tourney Worthy, or 10,000 dollars, or Turn 1-3 win, or Power 9 cards. I don't have 10,000 + dollars for a Mtg deck. :) lolHere is the deal, truth be told...i play with a few people (mainly just one person, most of the time) in Mtg. I don't go to comic stores, or shops, or tourneys, or anything. I live in the middle of nowhere. A "local" Magic shop is about 1 hour away. So...the main 2 or 3 people that I play Magic with are people who play Vintage/Legacy ONLY because that is the cards that they have to play with. And none of have any Moxes, or Black Lotus, or Lion's Eye Diamond, or Forces of Wills, or Channels. Just a bunch of average joes that use to collect Magic cards, when they could afford a booster pack every once in awhile. Something like a Fat Pack...yeah, never had the money for something like that. So, when i say I play Vintage/Legacy...this is what i mean, 20 dollars to less than around 400 dollars for a deck. Hell, I have a 20 dollar Legacy/Vintage deck that has won 4 games in a row and is less than 20 dollars, and is unbeaten in my group:http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/best-20-deck-on-the-vault/So, fast wins, in my metagame...including Vintage/Legacy games, are considered Turn 4 or Turn 5 wins. There are no wins under 4 turns. I mostly play Control blue/bounce decks. Pure mono black discard decks. Pure Bounce. Red Goblin decks. That sort of stuff.Finally, anyone that has shown any love for my last few decks, whom have been hot, and then kicked off of the Hot Page:5 Brutal Black/Green CombosM15, Ob Nixilis, UnshackledStatic Ability ChallengeMutant Ninja Turtle in Magic50th Deck. Old School TimIf you liked/commented/suggested cards/or even explained to me how the deck does not work...THANK YOU. I have been trying my best to, every day, go to unloved/new decks and leave comments/suggestions/likes/praise/etc.So, if you have returned the favor, thank you. HOWEVER IF YOU FEEL THAT MY DECKS, HOT OR NOT, HAVE SUCKED OR HAVE NOT DESERVED TO BE "HOT" THEN CALL ME OUT ON IT.Who wants to see crappy decks at the top? Not me. Not anyone else. Good luck guys and gals!
I like your decks, i was a longtime casual player, only competitive since innistrad. you post up interesting interactions, some i think , and have tried, to turn competitive. keep up your stuff, at least you are bringing some creativity to the scene. nothing against budget decks, i just dont want a full site of them
Those are very kind words, Zaklax. I thank you for them. :)This deck will be the last deck I will make, for awhile. I want them to actually stay up for more than a week, before they get kicked off the Hot Page.And been into the Magic so much, lately, that the wife has been complaining. :) So, need to definitely spend more time with her.I went back to college...and this is the first time in 7 years where i haven't worked 40+ hours every week (night shift, at that)...so, I have had time to spend with the Mtg world. Making the most of it. Thanks for the support!
good GAWD this deck is.. pure EVIL. I love it!
Awesome build! This thing looks brutal and relentless. Ok, so they deal with 1 fatty, you drop another! They deal with that one, you tutor for another!. Great deck. It reminds of a Legacy build i played a while back.. Actually the first Legacy deck i ever owned in paper >:Dhttp://www.mtgvault.com/alleywayjack/decks/legacy-dreadstalker/Uses a similar combo to get Dreadnought out and smash face, but runs it in a tempo shell. That deck will always hold a place in my heart. Haha.
A compliment from a great deck builder. That makes me day :)Thank you. I viewed...the deck uses Vision Charm, probably the best way I have ever seen.Kudos to that! Tempo has been, the last 2 years since getting back into Mtg, the one thing I have tried to work the most on.It can not be overlooked. Who wants to play catch up every turn/game? Not me.
Imagining the face of your opponent the first time they see this. "First turn 12/12...? (Scoops). Awesome deck man! I've seen quite a few of your decks and I'm definately more than impressed. Very creative! However, you should feel like a dick not only for making this deck, but every time you play it because it's mean!
Yep, a deck like this is what my friends call "douche bag" decks. :)Thank you for looking into my decks. Of late, I have been on a magic deck making binge. And being on here for almost a year, people are finally taking notice of a few of the recent decks I have built. It took lots of me leaving other people likes/comments/views/support/card suggestions. But I have been rewarded.And I thank everyone for that.
How's this sound? You keep making kickass decks, and we'll keep supporting you! lol sound good?
These decks are why one always runs removal.
Or counter spells if you play blue.
Tainted Strike for possible 2nd-turn win:Turn 1: Land, Dark Ritual, Torpor Orb, Phyrexian DreadnoughtTurn 2: Swing, Tainted strike, GG.
Devious. I like how you think.What would you suggest remove for it? Will remove the Spirit Links for now.Making it a more aggro deck, I am guessing. :)
Spirit Link. If you end up needing the life gain in the first place, you've probably already lost. You can always sideboard it in against super-fast aggro or whatever.
Done. This is what I freaking love about Magic Vault. People helping each other out :)
b ^_^ dAnd since everything is so cheap, and you'll probably win quickly if things go right... maybe Necropotence instead of Night's Whisper? Not as sure about this suggestion, but it's definitely something I'd try if I were actually building the deck.
we are just building a deck, your building friendshipXD (*bleughhh) lol
Unearth might be a good add too. Can pull back any creature (outside of Eater of Days) and it can cycle if you don't need it. Maybe instead of Apostle's Blessing since you have Mother of Runes.
Back in the day I had somewhat of a deck like this but, it ran black and blue. Mostly based around Phyrexian Dreadnought and Leveler getting them out with Stifle. Then to add insult to injury I sacrificed The Leveler to Altar of Dementia, making them mill 12 cards then I would have Endless Whispers in play. The player would then play The Leveler on his side removing his library from the game. The rest was removal, counter control, mana ramp (Dark Ritual) and search.
Yes, that is what i have heard with Kazzong...that most of these types of decks ran blue with stifle. Stifle is wonderful for a deck like what you described.
I am liking how your deck works around a different method, plus Torpor Orb is great against stopping trigger abilities. It may not stop a Sneak and Show deck but, it will slow it down.
Somewhere...on this particular deck, I posted a comment that got me my 500th like.Thanks guys.I have one more deck coming. Built it today. But going to wait a few days to post it.It will be my last deck I build for awhile. I tried to break one of my Favorite cards, with this new deck.I hope you will like it.
I honestly think this could be competitive in legacy, I'd try to make it legal at least in that format. I'd suggest some good disruption though, like thoughtseize or inquisition of kozilek, maybe even hymn to tourach, but if it's more of a casual deck then it's golden in its current state.
I think it is about fixed as is. Not sure I will change it around much. And not going to be posting many more decks right now, so this deck has it's time to shine on the Hot Page.
And, alby, it is legal in Vintage and Legacy. Hushwing Gryff isn't considered legal because it is an M15 card. Soon, it will be considered a legal deck though.
OOOH okay, that would explain a lot.
I'm a sucker for white/black decks anyway, but this is just... beautiful.
Thank you :)
Ugh i hate that i keep coming back to this site; why are you not running sundial of the infinite? This deck was a thing years ago
Hushwing Gryff wasn't even out a year ago.
Torpor orb was.
And sundial, just seems like a better utility orb. Friend ran that with basically this deck a few years ago and it was already broken. Now you can have 12 torpor orbs with hushwing gryffs lol. If you ever go blue in here trickbind does really stupid and unfair things even stopping your own creature etb abilities and blue gives access to hunted phantasm. But its pretty trim as is, those just suggestions lol.
Trickbind is a brilliant suggestion!
Tis basically another utility torpor orb
Agreed, lol. Not something I can take credit for. I just added a creature with a built in Torpor Orb. :)
Torpor orb included ... Jessie, we aren't playing Warhammer! :)
Man, I an stoked!!!! Company I work for had a promo event yesterday and gave out M15 cards. Including a promo foil Soul of Ravnica, and two premade 30 card decks of the color of my choice. I chose black and blue. :)
Company you work for likes Magic?Neat and weird. My last job was in factory making mattresses. They didn't even know Mtg existed...let alone give out free stuff. Awesome, Kazzong. I want to work where you work at. :)
Microsoft is a good place to work for. even as a contractor at the bottom of the ladder. :)
How did you pull that job off?How did you get it?
He has the lightest touch.
Went through Temp agency, made a good impression... Yeah. I have zero code skills though. Just testing.
I see a first turn win... :) I love it!
Please explain :)
Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Torpor Orb, Phyrexian Dreadnought, Tainted Strike, Lightning GreavesGotta be on the draw first though.
Swamp -dark ritual- -dark ritual- -dark ritual- -torpor orb- -phyrexian dreadnaught- -virulent strike- lightning greaves- it's very very unlikely, but definitely possible. :) I love it
Even if they have a creature you can probably trample it.
That would be a god hand, but yep, that does work. Nice catch, guys.
Jessie, you made a deck with a possible (but improbable) turn 1 win. Quit while you're ahead! :)
Love this deck idea. I can see this causing some rage quitting in my Friday Night kitchen table group!
Glad you like it :)
Why not add some Death's Shadow? I had a teacher who played a deck based around Torpor orb, and he had a playset of Death's Shadows. The reason behind this is because it is a 1 drop for a 13/13 if you have the Torpor Orb or the Hushwing Gryff on the field.
Wait, is that considered a triggered ability?If so, I need to find room for it. I mean...it looks to be a static ability...not triggered. So...i am pretty sure your teacher was using Torpor Orb incorrectly.
Yeah, that isn't a triggered ability. Although that is a neat idea. :)
I use to "teach" someone how to play Magic. A good friend of mine. It was the blind leading the blind. As you know kazzong, i suck with rules of Magic.So, Wash Out, I didn't know the rules. I thought lands were colored. Forest colored green. Mountain colored red.I did not know they were colorless.So, I would play Wash Out on his green elf deck. I would choose the color green. Make him board swipe everything. Lands included. IT wasn't until me and him was playing at a local magic shop (circa 2003) and tried to pull that trick on him...did someone over hear, and come educate me on the fact that Forests are colorless. The comic store guy was like, "Yeah, Wash Out doesn't target lands, they are colorless." lolI had abused Wash Out for over a year, playing it wrong. lol :)To people like KnightoftheHokeyPokey, Kazzong, surewhynot, and Puschkin...thank you for helping me so much understand the rules.
okay, well I will have to comment on his deck saying that he can't use that, because that would tear down my burn deck. (shameless advertising) xDHe was an art teacher who I would play with after school or before school on some days, but he moved to teach at a school somewhere else this year. I am disappointed, that he is leaving, but he has to make a living somehow. But anyways, thanks for defining that for future references :D
Advertise away. It is people who post their deck links on here, without giving out advice on my decks. I do the same thing, i will post links to other people's decks BUT i first look at their decks/suggest cards/like the deck/give out comments.
Hey now ... if those dudes failed to call you out, they are not going to be able to be mad about it!Also, I only noticed that lands are colorless after a mtg gatherer search, followed up by a hasty check of the rules. It makes dual lands a pain to search for.
Yeah, non basic lands are hard to search out with Gatherer.
http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/i-broke-my-equilibrium/Besides making my first EDH deck, suggested by surewhynot, this link I posted is to the last deck i will be building for awhile. I hope you enjoy it. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Yippie me. Only get to play Mtg about once every other month, and today is the day.Driving into the closest town to play my best friend in a few games of Magic.Will be testing this one against him.As well as:http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/50th-deck-old-school-tim/this one. Wish me luck! When I get back, I will discuss how the two decks did.
yeah, I am intrigued as to how your decks will do. :)
http://www.mtgvault.com/magiccontroller/decks/meanest-multi-discard/Look at that deck.It beat this deck, bad, very bad, twice in a row.M15 Hushwing Meets Torpor Orb is 0-2. My 50th deck Old School Tim deck went 1-1 against his discard deck.His discard deck is one of the baddest decks I have every played against.Freaking Ensnaring Bridge, Delirium Skeins, Bottomless Pit, Nihil Stone, Guilt feeder....I HATE THAT DECK! If he gets Ensnaring Bridge out, it is game over. Look at his deck and show a little love.
That deck ... is pure, distilled evil. It has no blue, yet manages to be the most brutal control deck ever. Of all time.
There's a ton of crazy combos with m15 coming out, it's ridiculous! Check out this one I just put together if you have time.http://www.mtgvault.com/vinscadut/decks/nissa-meets-timber-protector/
I checked it out. I suggested a card.Good luck.
Thank you!
Yep. About finished making decks for awhile. So...might as well try to help out and look at more people's decks.
If your going to be that fast why not just run lands that get you whatever you need right away and run blue, mana confluence, city of brass, reflecting pool gemstone cavern, gemstone mine, lotus petals... whatever would work for you.Also Sundial of the infinite could work too
Good point, will look into switching over my lands. City of Brass, i have 3 copies in real life, and it is one of my favorite. So maybe i will fit them in. And Lotus Petals, maybe not in this deck since my curve is so low already, IS MY favorite Magic Card. OF all time. Lotus Petal is a god card to me.
Really? Lotus petals?Mine is Tolarian Academy. :)
If I had the $308 to spend on cards I would buy this deck. Feel free to leave comments on my 3 decks that I currently have up, please?!
Sure thing, friend.I do have cheaper decks, that are killer. Check this one out. It is less than 20 dollars and undefeated. http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/best-20-deck-on-the-vault/And I will check out your decks when I get a chance.
That deck...I challenge you to fight Northy's silly humans deck. It would be a really interesting match.
I could do it on paper. Test it against Northy's silly human decks. It would indeed be interesting.
Vintage is very interesting. Especially if one runs broken artifact decks.
Indeed, indeed. Some of the older artifacts make me smile.
I want to go back to them ... I mean, some newer cards are begging to be broken. Master Transmuter, for example.
Basically, run Master Transmuter with Memnite or Orthinopter or Phyrexian Walker and Intruder Alarm to play ALL of the artifact creatures in your hand for one blue mana apiece. Turn 4 minimum for shenanagins.
Master Transmuter is so good it gets overlooked: "Target my Transmuter ok thats fine, back to my hand she goes, oh and look a Blightsteel Colossus!"
KnightoftheHokeyPokey Check this out, for my funny friend: Master Transmuter, Memnite, Ornithopter, Phyrexian Walker. Intruder AlarmNow add Mirran Spy (Brutal with Master Transmuter). I think that is the start to something beautiful. And might I suggest something like Blightsteel Colossus for the win. As was suggested by ClockworkCopper. Maybe Vedalken Engineer for paying for your blue mana that Transmuter requires. Good luck!
She could also feed into a Mycosynth Golem, making all those artifact creatures that much more easier to play. Chief Engineer and Mycosynth Golem could go off insane as well.
ok, working on this now. should be done shortly. :)
Hmm ... may I add to this crazy brainstorm ... dark steel forge. Pop it out on TURN 4 (2 Islands + Vedalken Engineer can summon Master Trasmuter turn 3) and laugh maniacally.And don't get me started on playing that damned 3 mana, power and toughness equal number of creatures vedalken artifact creature dude. That's just cruel.In honor of our collaboration, the deck is to be called ... Jessie and the 3 Mtg Vaulteers. ;)Unfortunately, Master Transmuter doesn't trigger mirran spy because her ability does not CAST a card (similar to show and tell). However, it totally works when memnite or orthinopter or phyrexian walker or shield sphere come and play. One last question ... do convoke and affinity stack? If so, chief engineer and mycosynth Golem are freaking insane.
hm... you mean master of etherium? that vedalken? oh, he also pumps other artifact creatures too. :)
Hmm ... I propose we continue the conversation here:http://www.mtgvault.com/knightofthehokeypokey/decks/kazzong-hokey-and-artifacts/I will post our current discussion so far.
sounds good.
Should run a Hall of the Bandit Lord and Marsh Flats in here, paying three life for 12/12 haster on turn two depending on your hand, and fetch lands are always great for thinning out your cards in the deck for better draws.
Done, and done :)
You should consider Leveler, but you may not like it since it's 5 mana
Leveler means Chump Block city since it doesn't fly or have trample. It was in the original incarnation, but was removed because of the chumpable nature.
Thanks for catching that berndttoast.
I've been tracking this deck since its inception. Can't get anything past me. :)
This deck is pretty decent I wont lie, but I think the land base could be a little better. It seems to me that Cavern of Souls would be far better than Hall of the Bandit Lord since counters are really common in legacy.
I'd suggest Varolz, The Scar Striped, but I don't know how well you could play him with that green mana symbol in his cost.
Need help guys. As you have seen in my last few decks...flashy combo decks I can do pretty well. Theme decks, yep, can make them as good as anyone else...Standard however...I suck at.Made my first standard deck in 12 years. Please, comment on it. Need lots of help. Challenged myself and made the entire deck out of M15 cards.Here is the link:http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/1st-standard-deck-in-12-years/
What?! Jessie, making a standard deck?If you are trying to impress me, you've done it.
http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/1st-standard-deck-in-12-years/
I don't get all the hate about the cost of this deck... swap out a couple lands and you chop the deck value in half!
Agreed. The Dreadnought and lands are most of the cost.
I am surprised to not see "Not of This World" at least in the sideboard
Done. I added it to the sideboard.
People like this deck more than any other of my decks...scared it is about to be removed off the Hot List, so keep up the voting/likes/suggestions/comments. Thanks!
Should be running ancient tomb for sure.
You could run a little red and Fling those Phyrexian Dreadnought's for direct damage. Also it maybe a little weird but, play a Endless Whispers then find away to remove Torpor Orb, so when those creatures are in play and they die the other player suffers with creatures like: Eater of Days, Leveler, and Phage the Untouchable.
Hey now .. Phage the Untouchable and Bazaar Trader is just plain cruel! In fact, you could give your opponent all manner of nasty creatures. Pit Lord, anyone?
To bad Fruitcake Elemental isn't legal.
Hahahaha! That's a beautiful card!
Um... Not sure about phage and bazaar trader. That doesn't make much sense to me. Can you explain it to me?
Hmm ... it doesn't set it off right away, you are quite right. Therefore, let's add cloudshift to the mix!1. Play phage2. Trade one of their creatures with phage.3. Play cloudshift on PhageThat should make some players rage quit.

Nice deck, but I wouldn't play with my friends, they would get too pissed!I just wanted to point out that you said a few times that "Enlightened Tutor = Gets you your Torpor Orb, in your hand", while it actually puts it on top of your Library. I am guessing you were implying that but figured it was worth clarifying for the readers.This list makes me want to build a Phage reanimation deck. :)
Yep, my bad :)
why no scrublands???
Lands are probably the one thing i need to look over with this deck.
Cause a playset of scrublands would almost double the cost of the deck hahah. Maybe godless shrines....
I feel like GS would work. If you can afford Scrublands, use those, obviously.
Well Jessie this isnt a budget deck lol
Nope, not budget :)
That's OK I like it! Just picked up phyrexian dreadnaughts, can't wait to abuse
They probably were more expensive since Hushwing came out :(I do know own this deck in person. Tell me how it goes, if you proxy it.
I love this idea. Now I'm trying to figure out what a modern-legal version would look like. Here's what I have so far: http://www.mtgvault.com/professoryes/decks/torpor-strike/Obviously not quite as fast or good, what with no Dreadnaughts and no Dark Rituals; but perhaps still casually competitive? Suggestions definitely welcome. I'm brand new to mtgvault, but it seems like a helpful/friendly place so far.
I will give it a look.
This deck just got kicked off the Hot Pages...Thanks for all the support/likes/comments/suggestions that each and everyone of you posted.
You're welcome Jessie. It's the least we could do for such a great deck.
