A stompy deck that abuses a mathematical trick revolving around the number 3. It's essentially legalized deck-stacking. =] My other Stompy decks: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=116250 <---My personal favorite Stompy http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=116626 <---Standard-legal Stompy http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=118142 <---Old(er)-school Stompy with more emphasis on pumps. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=122864 <---Stompy with Vengevine in it.

Ok, found it. This deck is good, I especially like the spells, this could own a lot of my decks easy :P Although, like most decks I've seen, I dont honestly understand putting lands like Misty Rainforest and verdant catacombs on Mono decks, only my personal view, not sure aobut the strategy, so you can correct me if Im wrong, but would just putting six more forests be as affective and without costing life. Once again, its just a thought, you can explain to me the strategy if it is ok with you.

Putting in fetchlands helps to accelerate any deck, multi-colored or mono. Basically what happens is you play the land, pay one measly life (seriously, 1 life is no biggy), and then pull another land out of your deck! You thus increase the probability of drawing the cards you need while still playing lands! So, while they end up as forests anyway, the fetchlands allow me to actively thin out my deck while losing nothing more than 1 life! I highly recommend trying it out. =]
wow. I never thought of it like that, thats a good tactic, Imma try it in one of my decks one time, thanks for the clarification
Ok, I attempted a burn deck with that strategy, you can check it out, I think it might be a good strategy Link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=122924
Fetchlands thinning out the deck is an illusion. Sure the numbers make sense, I mean - there's one less card in your deck when you use it, but what is the actual increased probability? Check out this article, seriously: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/print.asp?ID=3096 Though they're discussing the Onslaught fetchlands, it's the same tactic being discussed.
I've actually seen that article before. The guy makes a decent point when you look at the simulation on paper. However, there's a few things I disagree with him on, such as experimental controls and variants...but I digress. Plus, I found it strange that the guy drools over Sligh, yet also makes it seem that minute changes in a deck make no difference. Sligh is the perfect example of how changed probabilities, even if minute, have a greater effect than a poorly executed analysis might show. There is *some* truth to the experiments he did, but honestly not that much. =]
Pretty nice deck indeed! please check out my new "Thopter Edge" deck and of course you can comment and rate it thx in advance
Hoho! Math powers; ACTIVAAATE! I've seen(and used) such math in other decks, but it's alarming how well it goes in stompy. It's also pretty amusing in ye olden zombies. Overall this is quite an amazing deck, however being the mill minder I am, I again warn of the dreaded Mind Funeral+Dralnu, Lich Lord combination. 9/10, Because mill is stupidly popular in my areas of play.
Yeah, because this deck essentially stacks itself (which is absurd when put to stompy), mind funeral just rips it in half. It's basically a 3 mana Traumatize ={ Thankfully, mill is pretty rarely seen in my playgroup. (which is why I love to pull out my mill deck from time to time) =]
Also, if you think the math in this was crazy before, I'd like you to take note of the mana symbol occurrence =] Yeah...
Oh you're evil, it's fantastic!
Hehe, thanks. Hey by the way, welcome back (I think)!
Have you considered throwing in 3 more lands?
Not even slightly. =]
How does having only 3 copies of a card "stack" the deck for you?
If you shuffle using the 6 card split, then you distribute your cards to repeat every 20th card in. Additionally, since this deck has gone further than that with it's mana-costs and special curve, the lands will be shuffled in a way that gives them the highest probability of being drawn at the most opportune moments. I don't think the "draw sample hand" link does it justice. It's not REALLY stacking your deck, but it's a mathematical probability trick that lets you get as close to stacking as possible =P
You should also remember that adding that extra card gives you a greater probability of drawing the same card in your hand (which could come up to no advantage to you) twice. Only putting in 3 of each card allows you to add more different cards in your deck. Essentailly you can bog yourself down in useless draws by throwing in 4 of every card. Although this deck is an obsessive take on this idea, and isn't truly needed to this extreme.
It is a little obsessive isn't it? ={
Just a tad. You really only wanna do with with cards you need, but don't need more than 1 of in your hand (Legendary Permenants could use this). The fetch lands for instance, you can run 4 of each and it won't hurt your deck (it may even help because of increased chance of deck shrinking). All that aside, this a great deck and I may look at it when making my friend's green deck. =]
Cool deck! Hey, you seem to be a great deck builder. I am trying to figure out my tax rack deck, wondering if it should be RW instead of just White. I also want to just make it the best I can in general, and I was wondering if you might be able to help me with that. Also maybe give some tips on my red deck. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks, I'll be sure to take a look.
Ah crap...Sorry whoever I bumped off... <_<

this is a great deck. although im not sure how to do the six card split (im fairly stupid) it looks good, even if it isnt stacked. good job if you could, take a look at my white deck. i need help with it today because im taking it to a tournyment. http://mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=125384
I too would like to know about the 6 card split. Can't seem to find any info about it online, is there another name it goes by? I like the deck btw.
