Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
Let's swing around the other way, over to the blue beatdown deck.
Blue's strength is not its creatures. And its creatures have no
strength. But they do have evasion. Many have flying, and a few go one
step beyond and can't be blocked at all. Plus, thanks to the Eighth
Edition reprints of Curiosity and Coastal Piracy, they all draw cards!
The idea behind this deck is very, very simple. Play unblockable
creatures. Attack. Draw cards. Play more unblockable creatures. Wormfang
Drake gives some surprising beef to your weenie swarm, and it makes you
a bit resistant to a board sweeper. If Wrath of God clears out all your
creatures, the Drake will just unevolve back into whatever it was
before. With luck, it was a Sage Owl, so you can rearrange the top of
your library. You don't need much land in this deck (Coastal Piracy is
the only thing that costs more than 3 mana), and extra lands can be
pitched to save Escape Artist and Cephalid Inkshrouder from spot
removal.
I can't figure out whether or not to label this a LITE! deck. The only
rare it's got is the Eighth Edition Coastal Piracy (arguably the most
vital card in the deck)—but Coastal Piracy was merely uncommon in
Mercadian Masques! Does that make the card any easier to come by today?
Beats me. I guess this deck is Litelike.
