Could it be that the rage-inducing Taps has returned to Standard? Oh yes...get pissed =P <_< Still sticking to my current trend of song names for titles, oddly enough =P

This is not to far from what I expect one of my friends to be playing tonight, and that bothers me. Since they refuse to go all the way for legacy right now(budget issues) I'm trying to get them to go to modern, and change FNM to it. It's a very balanced format, just not that friendly to combo...
Permalink
Eh, modern seems so...bland...I'm sure it's balanced, but my worry is that it's way too balanced =/ Also, Taps is always powerful when it's around...It's what Taps does =P
Taps is obnoxious as hell... The friend in question ran one before the onset of Cawblade, and he absolutely slaughtered the other standard kids we have.
Taps is one of those deck types lost in time. A lot of people never heard of it, but just as many can never forget about it. It's not the best or worst deck type...but it's the obnoxious factor that makes it memorable =/
If you want to have fun with Gideon's Avenger I can suggest Narcolepsy instead of Paralyzing Grasp.
Oh hell, I forgot about Narc. Thanks man!
No problem, I just remember that card because I used it in a commander deck of mine based on tap /untap... very annoying. I usually don't ask for comment around, but I am curious about what you think of my last deck, Chronozoa and Friends: Blue. I feel it miss something...
maybe us blinding souleater?
Why not I would like ur advice on my archetict pod deck pls help
Definetly could use blinding souleater.
Maybe over dispatch, not sure its worth the slot with no metalcraft in sight.
This is.... exactly what I wanted to make for an EDH deck. @.@ It likely wouldn't work in multi-player, but damn... And I have a crazy craving to play this or something like it in FNM this week. It would be nice to be the one annoying people for a change, especially since everyone already knows the decks I have at my disposal otherwise.
I made a similar deck, not standard http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=214540 I played it withought the annoying turn 3 infinite silence combo against a variety of decks and it did really welli usually hate control decks but idk theirs somthing about tap decks thats more fun i guess:P
all these taps and not a single sunblast? :O You confuse me, kind sir. But there are a few things I'd be worried about with this deck. The curve seems a bit out there.. I know it's control and what not, but 5 6 drops and 6 5 drops spells disaster for me. I'd definitely cut some of those down. I'd probably cut sun titan and wurmcoil. Yes, sun titan is ridiculous with phantasmal, but that combo seems a bit off for this deck. Also I feel like venser is a waste of your time. Frost titan may be as well. I think you'd be better off with wall of frost, than the titan, honestly. also I feel dispatch is weak. I know it goes along with the tap theme, but you have access to oblivion ring in standard now. which is a lot better i.m.o. Hope i helped, lol. and also I changed up my dredge deck quite a bit, if you wouldn't mind checking it out, I'd appreciate it! I think it's gotten a lot better (:
Omg...I just got back from a week vacation and holy balls...I have a looooooot of comments to read O_O Anyways, I built this only a few days before I left, and so I haven't really had much time to finagle it to how I want it to be...give me some time and I'll probably have this changed up a little =P One thing though, I thought WoF wasn't standard anymore?
until m11 rotates wall of frost is good! (: and p.s. I made 2 new legacy decks (and you know how I love your input on legacy). One's a prison deck.. which I feel very shaky on (throw away the key) And one's a deck I feel has a lot of potential, "standstil depths" if you could comment on either one of those I'd really appreciate it. (:
I'll take a look =P Just updated this by the way, and I think it works much better =]
Thereeeeeeeeee we go. At first I was like "really sure, really? :/" but now it looks MUCH better. Haha more streamlined and not so.. all over the place lol. +1 in the like department, sir
ethan is right, no sunblast is REALLY weird...didnt you make a blue/white tap deck a while ago
two words... are you ready?...those aren't the two words, I was just asking if you were ready for the two words...anyway...the two words...ICE CAGE!!!
Ice Cage blows

Nice deck. Taps is indeed an old friend. Mine have always either been U/W or B/W. Here are a couple I made recently. I think you'll like the B/W one more. B/W... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=211053 W... http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=214896
Okay, so I put this deck together for FNM last week (with a little help as I was missing a chunk of the rares) with a few changes as suggested to me during the building process: -3x Dispatch +2... something I can't remember, I do remember agreeing that Dispatch is a little weak without more artifacts. -2x Due Respect, +2 Into the Roil -2x Frost Breath, +2 Oblivion Ring I won 1 game out of 7 (24/24 Avenger ftw!), had a couple of close games versus a strangely scary Empire-ramp deck and dropped before 4th round, determined to make this work for this coming Friday. I will admit, I had a couple bad matchups: the ramp deck out ran me, as did a U/W Golem deck (can't remember the third deck) and RNG was not my friend (mana-screwed twice, one of those games I saw two Avengers, nothing to tap with, AND stuck at 4 land with Gideon in hand) but I was able to note a couple things. Into the Roil was a bad choice for this deck. I couldn't afford to use the mana to kick them and, frankly, Due Respect would have been just as effective a stall. I switched the latter back in after I dropped. Wish I could remember what we replaced the Dispatch with, I'll have to check tonight after work. Sunblast Angel DOES need to go in here. I ended up with her in my board, but I get the feeling she'd be much stronger main. Maybe out the Wurmcoil for at least one Angel?
AHA, just remembered: -3x Dispatch +3x Preordain

My standard U/W tap deck is part control and its been working pretty good recently. Please take a look http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=207041. Also, Ive never tried sunblast angel but it looks pretty interesting. Im also considering due respect... Another note, I found tumble magnets to be pretty good, but the blinding souleaters are in there place until I do some more testing.
finally found a use for due respect
Hmm... I'll have to incorporate a few of these changes into my own version. :) I did put the Walls in my sideboard, but it's hard to know when those need to go in and what needs to come out for them. And yes, on that note... it's also really hard to know when to use the Due Respect. :/ I mean, do I play it right before combat, forcing them to tap everything they brought in? In response to an artifact they just brought in? At the beginning of their turn, so there's no question as to what's tapped? Made adjustments last night and slaughtered a Zombie/Call to the Grave deck in playtesting. Abolishers really slow it down. Looks much more threatening now, sure. :D Hope you don't mind me kifing it like this. LOL
kor hookmaster
this deck sucks
lol ok buddy =]
Hey i think this is awesome i tried working a royal assassin into the combo as well but it just would never come up. if you get the chance to take a look im trying to build a response to the hawkward deck using mono white. If nothing else youll see what im doing by the description. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=217858
This looks like a terribly infuriating deck, I like it
That's the idea of Taps =P That said, you should have seen the original Taps...god damn that deck was annoying...O_O
Could fulgent distraction fit in this deck?
I would assume that's a little too deck specific. Only a couple deck builds run enough equipment right now to make it worth playing.
True. It could be used as a sideboard card for when it is needed (ie against decks which have the swords in).
Hey, this deck inspired me to make this one...http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=218743 I'm a big fan of exalted, and it just seemed like a cool combination. All i'm looking for is a card or two that would make this deck semi decent. Got any ideas? this goes for anyone.
