Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
 What you may not realize is that One with
Nothing is a direct-line descendant of Black Lotus. It's Black Lotus's
grandchild. Alan Comer figured it out, really. Black Lotus is the most
broken card of all time: Its cost is , and its effect is 3 mana. It was
“fixed” into the aforementioned Lion's Eye Diamond, which added a
drawback to Black Lotus: Now its cost is and the cards in your hand, and
its effect is 3 mana. But that was still broken and had to be restricted
in Vintage. So, again, it was “fixed” into One with Nothing, which
merely increased Lion's Eye Diamond's mana cost by 4 (from -3 to 1): Now
its cost is and the cards in your hand, and its effect is 0 mana. To
make it a little more appealing, it was pushed to instant speed, and you
don't have to lose your hand until resolution. But really — how could a
fixed Lion's Eye Diamond be all that bad?
The first One with Nothing deck I saw was posted on the
House of Cards message boards a couple of weeks ago. I know not everyone
reads the message boards, so many of you missed this deck. It is
brilliant, and the best use of One with Nothing I've seen so far.
Every permanent in the deck is an artifact or the
sacrificeable Crystal Vein. Get The Cheese Stands Alone on the table, play
Retract, then play One with Nothing. Victory! My hat is off to you,
Landman. |
