Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Admit it, fellow Johnnies. You drooled when Coalition Victory
came along. You swore Test of Endurance could be broken. And
Battle of Wits made you waana play Five-Color Magic. Then you
tried them, and they all more or less sucked. Maybe that's why
they're called "alternate" win conditions; there are so many better
alternatives. No more.
Darksteel Reactor doesn't have the inherent flaws of
alternate win conditions past. First, it's an artifact, meaning you
can go any color with support. Second, it's got the phat new
"indestructible" keyword, meaning it's much more difficult for foes to
stop. And finally, you win immediately upon gaining 20 charge
counters. There's none of that "wait till the beginning of your
upkeep" B.S.
You essentially have two energize your Darksteel
Reactor. One if the conventional approach, in which you add the
Reactor's counters every turn, then speed things along with Coretappers
and by fetching the deck's lone Power Conduit, which can do all sorts of
nift stuff -- including transfer charge counters between Mirrodin's Core
and the Reactor. But let's face it, that's a little too slow when
you facing the likes of turbo affinity and those damn equipment-toting
white weenies. So this deck packs the means to let your opponent win
the game for you as he attempts to bash your face into pulp.
Enter the almighty Sun Droplet. That's right, each
point of damage you take with the Droplet in play adds a charge counter to
this normally worthless artifact. So if your foe hits with 18, you
still lose the life, but gain 18 counters in the process. See where
this is going? You use Coretapper to get a couple counters on
Darksteel Reactor, then when the total number of counters betwen the
Reactor and the Droplet is 20 or more, BOOM! Dismantle Sun Droplet.
Transfer counters to Reactor. Then ask your foe who his daddy is.
