Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Wirefly Hive - The single best coin-flip card
in extended. I’d have to be John Starks crazy to leave it out. (For
those of you not in the know, John Starks is the New York Knick who
infamously head butted my boy, Reggie.)
Krark’s Thumb - If you make a coin-flip deck without
this in it, you are Ron Artest crazy. Just remember that it’s legendary.
Fabricate - Gets your power duo, and that’s all I have
to say about that.
Karplusan Minotaur - This will be the second path to
victory after the Wirefly tokens.
Chance Encounter - Sorry, I’m not a good enough deck
builder to make Chance Encounter the number one win condition. In this
deck it comes in at number three.
The other cards - These basically give you something to
do until you have one of your other win conditions up. None of these will
win you games unless you are really lucky, or your opponent is really bad.
Actually, I guess this deck is about luck. Whatever, I already wrote that,
and can’t take it back…stupid REL 3.
The deck is fairly straightforward to play—get a Thumb,
get a win condition, hope your opponent isn’t very good. If that plan
doesn’t work for ya, I guess I can talk about it more. The most important
card in the deck is Krark’s Thumb. Without it, you are relying on luck
alone, and unless you’re K-Fed, you aren’t gonna win the proverbial
lottery any time soon. Then, you need to get a Wirefly Hive up and going,
I hear 3/3 flyers every turn is good. If you can’t do that go mythological
and get a Minotaur; he’ll win you the game soon enough. As a final option
for winning, get your Chance Encounter, pretend you’re a geologist, and
rock some flips. There isn’t really anything tricky about the deck. Use
the support spells as needed to live, and in the immortal words of Raiders
executive, Al Davis, “Just win baby!”
