11/1/04. I am bringing back the deck building
contests and note that the old contests aren't dead. If you have
submitted deck submissions for previous contests, please email me for more
information. In the meantime, let the new contest begin.
Your goal is to build the best deck using only one
legendary creature from the Champions
of Kamigawa set. With all of the new (and cool) legends from this
latest set you should find ease in this contest. You must make this
deck fulfill the needs of the chosen Legend. For instance, if you
choose Zo-Zu the Punisher.. make it a deck that makes full use of Zo-Zu.
Your deck must also contain a minimum of one Legendary Land and one artifact
(quantity of 4). No power nine cards. Feel free to use the
CHK combo page for ideas.
If you have questions about this, please
email me. Note:
Please do not use the deck submission function to post your deck. Only
email your deck submissions to
magicdeckvoretx@hotmail.com with 'contest' somewhere in your title line.
A summary of the guidelines is to the right.
Here is a sample deck list:
Sample The Making of a Legend deck
submission:
Colors: Green-Red
Type: S.C.S. - Zo-Zu the Punisher
4 Zo-Zu the Punisher
4 Shock
4 Glacial Ray
4 Sulfuric Vortex
4 Ruby Medallion
4 Vedalken Orrery
4 New Frontiers
4 Creeping Mold
4 Thermokarst
1 Keldon Necropolis
4 Taiga
2 Forest
17 Mountain
You'll notice the deck fulfills all of the
requirements. It has at least one artifact (of four cards) and only
one Legendary creature. The deck encourages an opponent to play lands
through cards that destroy lands like Thermokarst and Creeping Mold (thus
allowing the Zo-Zu Punisher deal damage when they do)... and you can combo
for a deadly blow using the Zo-Zu - Vedalken Orrery - New Frontiers combo.
There is one Legendary Land (Keldon Necropolis) and the deck is 60 cards.
Note: I would encourage you to use the flip legends and
any other Legend than Kiki, Mirror Breaker. In fact, if you correctly
build a deck using a flip legend, then you will get +1 bonus points.
Have fun with this contest. Be original.
Make sure the deck functions well and know you can email more than one
submission.
The winner of this contest will get to choose a future
feature for MDV and get your deck added to the deck database of Magic Deck
Vortex! Good luck! You must have your entry or entries submitted
to me via email by 12/1/04 to count. ~John Streetz~
11/2/04 - Below is a listing of all of the Legends from
Campions of Kamigawa! |
Guidelines for entering the contest:
- Use any card from any set except any Power Nine
cards (Time Walk, Time, Moxes, Black Lotus, etc.) and except for any card
that has been banned and/or restricted in Vintage, Type 1.5 or Extended.
- Include a deck name and your name and a short
description. You will lose points if you don't have these things.
- Keep your deck to 60 cards. No more. No
less.
- Be creative and original. No net deck copies here.
- Use only one Legendary Creature from Champions of
Kamigawa to build your deck. if you choose Azusa, you can't combo
her with any other Legendary creature... at all. This means no
Azusa-Meloku combo deck. Your deck should be considered either a combo
deck or a Single Card Strategies deck.
- I would encourage you to use the
flip legends or any other Legend than Kiki, Mirror Breaker. In
fact, if you correctly build a deck using a flip legend, your deck will
score higher and may even get featured in the contest wrap up article.
- Email you submissions to
this email address.
(Note you can submit more than one deck to the contest.) Do not use
the deck submission feature on this site to submit your deck. It
will not get registered or counted if you use it.
- Have fun.
- The deck will no longer be scored as previously done
for other contests. I will make the judgments on each deck instead.
Although, I would encourage you to mind the previous criteria when
building a deck: Cohesivity, Balance, Playability, Focus & Creativeness.
