Description of deck by Jeremy Smith
in IQ Gamer #124 - August 2005:
 While
Soh’s Rift/Slide deck barely lost to Fujita’s red minions, we think it
still shows an exciting peek into what will surely be one of the top
Extended decks once October rolls around. It’s hard enough to deal with
Flametongue Kavu, Eternal Witness and Wrath of God; when you recycle
them ad infinitum, they just become downright ludicrous.
In case you haven’t seen similar decks before, here’s
the lowdown. In the early game, you want to cycle lands, Eternal Dragons
and Krosan Tuskers a few times to get to your business spells, the Rift
and Slide. Creatures such as the Witness, Simulacrum and Flametongue can
serve as blockers early on and can recur repeatedly once Slide goes
online. Renewed Faith, Slice and Dice and Wrath of God keep you out of the
danger zone. Once you’ve taken out your opponent’s threats and gotten up
to a safe life total, you’ll be able to finish the game with a Dragon or
two plus any groundpounders you’ve got left. |
