PTQ 07 Aug 2004 decklist
.I’m playing in a Mirrodin/Darksteel/Fifth Dawn PTQ tomorrow, and as a test of how this handles HTML formatting, here’s a decklist:
- MD5 RatCloud (60)
-
- Land (20)
-
- 11 Swamp
- 5 Mountain
- 4 Mirrodin’s Core
- Mana (10)
-
- 4 Chrome Mox
- 4 Wayfarer’s Bauble
- 2 Guardian Idol
- Creatures (12)
-
- 4 Chittering Rats
- 4 Emissary of Despair
- 4 Solemn Simulacrum
- Other (18)
-
- 4 Devour in Shadow
- 3 Echoing Decay
- 4 Death Cloud
- 2 Barter in Blood
- 2 Fireball
- 3 Shatter
- Sideboard (15)
-
- 3 Scrabbling Claws
- 3 Detonate
- 1 Shatter
- 4 Terror
- 2 Fill with Fright
- 2 Greater Harvester
The Standard version of this deck is definitely stronger, but if I encounter more anti-Affinity decks than Affinity decks, I have a pretty good chance. Except for Crystal Witness, which might be a beating. Sadly, I don’t know for sure, because my testing of the Block version has been minimal. I am, essentially, petdecking.
My sideboarding plan is below:
Against Affinity:
- −4 Jens
- +1 Shatter
- +3 Detonate

- −3 Shatter
- −3 Devour in Shadow
- −2 Emissary

Against Tooth & Nail, with Witness
