Description of deck by Frank Karsten
(quoted):
This deck plays typical Rock cards, such as
Birds of Paradise, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Eternal Witness, Cabal Therapy,
and of course Pernicious Deed. Gifts Rock adds Gifts Ungiven to the
green-black mix, which is essentially a double Demonic Tutor as you can
easily toss in Eternal Witness and Living Wish (which can get Witness)
in the mix to ensure you get the cards you want. Typical Gifts setups
also include Genesis and Cabal Therapy, aiming to start Genesis
recursion.
Niv Shmuely, a.k.a trunks123, based his list on Luis
Scott-Vargas's. Niv has made a lot of minor tweaks to the deck and has put
up great results with it. Harmonic Sliver in the sideboard as a wishable
Naturalize, maindeck Global Ruin and Engineered Explosives – it's the
little things that make a deck good. He changes the list sometimes
according to the metagame, but no more then 1-2 cards in the sideboard. |
