Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
 Intruder
Alarm is the bizarro Opportunity. It's a blue Core Set enchantment that
keys off of creatures, but this one untaps everything instead of tapping
everything. It has one other key similarity to Opportunity: It wins the
game. It doesn't take much to set up an infinite combo with Intruder
Alarm. Some blasts from the past include Tradewind Rider &
mana-producing Elves (such as Priest of Titania), Skyshroud Poacher &
mana-producing Elves, or Birds of Paradise & Shrieking Drake. The
victory condition was either to build up infinite mana and finish off
your opponent with Stroke of Genius or to have a Prodigal Sorcerer that
kept untapping and pinging your opponent.
What are the best options in the upcoming Standard environment? Voice of
the Woods provides a simple way to create millions of 7/7 Elemental
tokens at the end of your opponent's turn (and who doesn't like having
millions of 7/7 Elementals?) If you also happen to be creating infinite
mana at the same time thanks to a Wirewood Channeler or a Birchlore
Rangers, you can use your unlimited mana and creatures to bounce all
your opponent's permanents with Dispersing Orb. I know, it's not
necessary - but it'll get you style points out the wazoo.
I know I'm not the first person to present this combo. And I know that
this deck is not optimally tuned by any means. Plus, there are other
ways to pair Intruder Alarm with green. Did you think Early Harvest was
gone? With Intruder Alarm and Ambush Commander in play in a deck that's
as monogreen as possible, a Forest is an Early Harvest. A Diligent
Farmhand would be as well. I'm sure that you folks have some better
and/or weirder ideas than this, and the message boards seem like a fine
place to discuss them. If you've got a new Intruder Alarm deck, show off
how smart you are and post it.
