Gifts Ungiven.
Description of deck by Mike Flores
(quoted):
Gifts Ungiven can set up infinite creature
destruction with Hana Kami and splice tricks, draw into multiple big
threats, and some versions can even set up infinite Ethereal Haze or
Cranial Extraction. It is a strong and versatile card and the engine
behind an amazing deck. Be ready for it.
Last week (first week of October 2005), Invitational
Winner Terry Soh suggested an updated Gifts Ungiven that slows down
beatdown better than ever:
The most important additions to Magic at large are the
lands: Overgrown Tomb and Watery Grave in this deck. Putrefy is already a
much-lauded and versatile card, but Carven Caryatid may be the deck's most
welcome addition. The 2/5 body is positively huge when fighting two-drops
(see below), and combined with its cantrip effect, this defender will
really help to slow down the game. |
