Mind Vise. This deck sports some of my favorite cards including Triskelion, Metalworker, Black Vise, Copy Artifact, Karn and Prosperity.  While this can easily be considered a MILL deck because of Prosperity and Metalworker, it is more or less a BURN deck in the form of Black Vise.  The goal is to generate a lot of mana, play a huge Prosperity and have one or more Black Vise in play before your opponent's next turn.  Come their turn, the Black Vise will kill them or do a large amount of damage...

Delusions of Mediocrity: Nodal Destruction.
10/1/08 - Welcome back, fellow gamers! As we enjoy the changing foliage of the new season and await the next set release just a few days away I've decided to pull a card out of the current Standard pool and take it for a whirl. Its cheap and its an enchantment, and if you like destroying critters it can be your best friend. ~hamsandwich~ Discuss Here.

MDV League: O.S.S. on MDV!
9/29/08 - Recently, Lionden and Haggis invited me to join the MDV League staff as a Tournament Organizer. After a lot of thought, I decided to join up. What I decided to do was introduce the theme and casual-ness to the league that I felt it was missing, but at the same time offer a little something new to the mix... ~CPN~ Discuss Here.

Combo of the Day: Stoic Angel - Trip Noose...
Assuming you play Stoic Angel after your opponent all out attacks, you should be able to fend off one creature a turn for the rest of the game with relative ease.  Since your opponent will only be able to untap one creature per round. that is.  However, if you want to make it a little more difficult for you opponent to get just one creature through for...

Conflux Visual Spoiler Updated.
9/27/08 - There are no new cards, but one image has surfaced showing a Hydra of sorts battling an angel.  Check it out.  I have also added a link to the Conflux combo submission thread in the forum and created a button using the art found on the promo image mentioned earlier.

New Series: Ahead of the Rest and some minor updates.
9/27/08 - For some reason, I was inspired today to intigrate the old Top 30 creature lists into the article archives and give the series a new name: Ahead of the Rest.  I made a few other minor modifications to the archives.  If you are interested in writing for any of the series, please let me know.  Thanks, ~Streetz~

Tribal Coffee: Dragons. We don't need no stinking Dragons!  
9/25/08 - Dragons are stupid. They're large, bulky, and everyone seems to play them.
"Here's my Dragon collection, look how awesome it is!" "This is my favorite Dragon it can kill you in one turn!" So much pro-Dragon love out there, but not from me. I'm stating it loud and proud I'm a Dragon hater. ~Cashew~ Discuss Here.

Featured Article:
Casual Collections: Building a Solid Base.  
9/18/08 - Welcome to the first installment of Casual Collections. Unlike other series you might see here on Magic Deck Vortex, this is a serial. Each month we'll be building on the last month, although we'll arrange it so following along or catching up won't be difficult. Throughout this series you will develop a Magic portfolio on a very casual budget, and that budget will be a meager $20 a month. ~Cashew~ Discuss Here.

Shards of Alara MDV-VS updated!!! 148/249.
9/20/08 - This is an update that is long overdue.  Sorry for the delay.  148/249.  New Art Images and Card pics were also added (55 card pics total after update).

Second Impressions: Coldsnap!
9/17/08 - The final set of a block, Eventide, has arrived, and that means only one thing: hundreds of cards will soon be rotating out of Standard! Which of these cards lived up to their hype? Which ones left a lackluster impression? Join me in an informal review of a few select cards that have had at least a year of play to prove themselves worthy. ~Drathro~ Discuss Here.
