Deck discussion for Budget Decks: CQB

I like it. You have found a use for my own cache of Goblin Grenades. More importantly, I love the synergy and flavor of the deck.

Here's Some Fan Fiction for You

Chandra Nalaar and Jace Beleren eyed each other cautiously. They stood on opposite sides of a great chasm. At Jace's back, a forest gently sloped down to a small cove. Behind Chandra, there was an arid and sun scorched plain, rising to meet the jagged red peaks in the distance.

Jace whispered in the mind of the other Planeswalker, commenting on Chandra's "hotness" and asking here if she had any "to spare". Despite herself, Chandra could not help but be mesmerized by the mellow voice of the Mind Sculptor. His voice was like a brook winding it's way through a quiet fen.

Then Chandra realized exactly what Jace had said. Angered by her weakness as much as by the content of the message, erupted into a whirlwind of flame, obscuring the mountains behind her with fire and acrid smoke.

Red-faced, Chandra cast a great spell, yelling,"You're in luck, I brought enough to share!" (Flames of the Firebrand)

In that instant, she swore she saw a smile hidden Jace's poker face and the hood of his cloak. In hindsight, Chandra realized, that bas**** had been goading her.

Chandra let out a shriek of pure fury, and rained still more spells down on her opponent. Jace remained impassive.

As the fiery red missiles streaked across the chasm, closing the distance to their target, another set of eyes peered out if the forest, watching.

Right before the fiery projectiles impacted, Jace acted. His hands glowed brilliant blue. Chandra's spells seemed to hang suspended for a moment.

The eyes opened in awe and admiration.

Jace let out a deep chuckle.

Chandra suddenly realized her mistake. Letting out a stream of curses, she turned and fled to the mountains. Jace decided to give her a head start. She almost made it.

Chandra never felt a thing. One moment she was flying away, the next looking down on the massive inferno she had intended for Jace.

It was so pretty ... but Chandra realized she would now need to get her extra body. THAT would hurt. Damn that crafy blue mage!

************************

Garruk Wildspeaker walked out of the forest from where he had watched the battle to stand by his friend at the edge of the chasm. They stood regarding the inferno in the distance for several minutes.

Without looking away, Garruk whistled, and said, "Remind me never to duel you. You think you could show me how to do that?"

Jace smiled and replied, "It's actually quite simple, but since you've only recently begun to walk upright, it may take some time to explain." (Redirect)

They laughed together for a long time.

Short, but completely awesome fanfic! Did you write it yourself?
Thank you so much for posting that! I LOVE good fanfictions!

I wrote it all myself. I just love Jace (and Gideon). There is so much about him that one can glean.

He attended the Tolarian Academy, so he is a master artificer and mage and thought architect.
He was a researcher, into what I don't know.
He either studied under or knew Urza, Mishra, or their war machines.
He is a f(r)iend of Garruk (I prefer to think of Redirect as banter, not an insult).

Gideon had martial training under Boros (Maybe before he was a Planeswalker).
Gideon knew Aurelia very well and ranked high among the Boros, since a subordinate would NEVER attack a superior's Ideology, much less an angel, much less Aurelia (don't mess with her). In fact, you catch really see that they are friends (or more ...) on the card Assemble the Obzedat, where the seemingly fearless angel tells Gideon that she fears the Obzedat.
Gideon didn't agree with Boros (or at least Aurelia), probably because of their "break stuff, ask questions later attitude, especially against the Guildless rebels, whom Boros fought brutally (though some Boros held a grudging respect for the rebels).
And the funniest inference ever, which I found on MTG vault: The loss of power and gain of "destroy everything" from Gideon Jura to Gideon, Champion of the Sun (I think he defected to the Guildless, which is supported by the fact that he is mono-white) are symptoms of a breakup. Therefore, one can Plausibly assume that he and the Boros general Aurelia were romantically involved.

P.S. All this is inference or extrapolation from cards.

I think I will write a longer version of this story, about the original 5 Planeswalkers. Could you tell me who the first white Planeswalker was? I know the other 4.

After that ... why not a Ravinica story! It might take a while, and a lot of research. I couldn't just look for the Planeswalkers names. Would you be interested in helping me out when I get to it?

Hmmm ... the Sarapidan Block would make a good story too!

The first white planeswalker was Ajani, I believe.

Okay ... could you look at my Army of Two Deck? I need to cut it's size and cost a tad. I made it originally with 60 cards ... without lands. Due to the high amount of devotion to each color, the lands are expensive.

Ember Hauler...is surprisingly good.

My only suggestion here would be sideboarding (1) something to prevent lifegain (like Skullcrack), (2) artifact removal (vandalblast), and (3) maybe a fieldwipe (Blasphemous Act)
