New deck!

So, it's been a while since I posted something! To tell the truth I've simply been a bit carried away with levelling a new goblin priest in World of Warcraft! Currently level 70 my hopes at having 85, and all professions maxed out for Mists of Pandaria!

Well enough of my priest! Last couple of weeks has been a bit of a slow one for magic as Chris' nan had been ill we had to do a lot of rescheduling. I have in the mean time got my hands on a Horde deck, which I must say is pretty nasty! Proved by our test run of playing against it! Deck ideas too haven't been too forthcoming for me. Chris had a butchers through some of my collection and suggested a sacrifice deck, which I'm currently working on!

What I have put together is a different deck, I was looking through my artifacts and multi-colours and I thought 'why not?' you can have a look at the deck list below. Bare in mind however it's built out of what I had available in approximately half hour! There's not a lot of land but plenty of mana producing artifacts!
I've tried to balance what I had, tell me what you think, play testing will have to wait til next magic night!

As you can see its a work in progress, anyone have any ideas?

Well that's it for now I guess, and I'll post an update for my sacrifice deck at some point!

Dragon fail!

Well it's another week gone by and another magic night gone, this week I only won 2 games and to be honest it was sheer luck! I played my dragon deck repeatedly and repeatedly found myself respectively short on mana! Though seven mana would be sufficient in my other decks, it isn't in this deck! Most of my dragons are 6 or more mana, and I wasn't drawing my little 1/1 1cmc cards until late in each game, nor did I see Kuldotha Rebirth!
This needs addressing!

I think I will be looking at rethinking the deck and maybe splashing some mana ramping cards as the two main non land mana sources weren't viable during the games Infernal Plunge was useless as I didn't have a creature to sac and battle hymn was pointless spending 2 mana for only 1 in return!

So all in all Dragons needs more work!

On the other hand South of Heaven. My white and blue deck had me bring Chris to a standstill which led him to finally concede. However I would say that although I found the going tough this evening and competition from james was as consistent as ever, I have learnt more and more from them just where my decks flaws are! However even in the face of almost certain defeat South of Heaven really pulled through for me and at this time I'm still happy with the deck in general!

That's it for now! Happy reading!
