First Deck

by Josh on 21 November 2009

Main Deck (70 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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.

I have a question can anybody answer it? with Cabal Ritual can you pull mana from your library or just your hand when you activate it???

First of all I would say that this deck looks somewhat familiar to the Liliana deck from the new duel decks :)

Second, the answer to your question:
Neither of your suggestions are correct. Adding mana to the mana pool gives you extra mana for the phase you currently are in (pre-combat main phase for example) and will disappear if it isn't used.

Example:
At turn two swamps in play and are having a cabal ritual alongside with Dread Warlock. The Dread Warlock costs three mana so you will normally not be able to play him with only two swamps. Instead you tap the two swamps and by doing that you add two black mana to your mana pool. Then you use the two mana to play cabal ritual. Cabal ritual gives you three mana in your mana pool to spend so you play Dead Warlock.

I think that answers your question and besides that, If I were you I would buy 1-2 more duel deck boxes if you can afford it and then create a deck using the best of those cards in a deck of 60 cards total.

You should get more focused. Instead of having one of all these different creatures and spells put in copies of the more effective ones. Try to get cards that work in combination with one another deathgreeter/skeletal bats. I fyou want examples of really focused decks check out my squirrel deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=31801, or my goblin deck http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=31796

The "mana pool" is a "fictive area" and is not visible the mana come from the card to the mana pool and it is not from your hand nor library, it just come there for the phase and then vanishes. In my example from earlier you will still have two swamps out after you played cabal ritual.
