Hey TappedOut'ers,
KrazyCaley's doing some pretty good challenges, but I'm thinking of one myself. Here's the rules.
-
Extended format. (No vintage or legacy), (4pts)
-
Your deck MUST use mostly red spells. To define mostly, in the pie chart labeled "Land Mana", you must have at least 50% red mana, (4pts)
-
Your deck must strive to win by someway OTHER than burning quick damage. A good combo or alt-win like guildpact/niv-mizzet-the-firemind.jpgNiv-Mizzet, the Firemind would be acceptable. ,(10pts)
-
You will get points for creativity. (Creative names you somehow manage to link, creative combos, and creative card choice.), (10pts)
-
Does your deck even work? I will be pretty harsh when grading this part, and I suggest you play your deck at least a couple times to see it work., (12pts)
If you have any questions on what would be acceptable in terms of how damage is dealt, you can email me at werdna1000@gmail.com (Oh god, I probably just sold my soul to my computer for the next week.)
Note from KC- Deadline for this one will be a week from now, 1-20-10, at midnight US Pacific time. Darkness1835 will judge it up. I'll be back with a new challenge when I post Darkness' results.
I made this deck some time ago but I think you'll find it fits the bill Warp your World.
Here's my first entry, currently under editing.
Might of Lyzolda
Deck two Goblin Swarm for Darkness.
could you define burning quick damage a little better, please?
Certainly! Burning "quick" damage is cards like 2010-core-set/lightning-bolt.jpgLightning Bolt or champions-of-kamigawa/lava-spike.jpgLava Spike. the only point to the deck is to deal out damage to your opponent FAST, and win maybe 5th or 6th turn. I'm not saying if you have 2010-core-set/lightning-bolt.jpgLightning Bolt in your deck its burn, but you better have it in there for a reason other than just sending at your opponents face. If you DO choose to go the route of "burn", be creative. dont just fill the deck with tenth-edition/shock.jpgShocks, get a combo out.
Burn up the hand BOOM. more to come
Deck three What's yours is Mine .
Whump
Deathtouch Pyromancer V2 and Voodoo Shieldstick.
Not your standard burn.
I made this a while ago but its unique! Modern Pauper Candyland
2nd entry Helix time!
Couple of entries - Pardon me, I Belched and Dingus Destruction
Well, I think I can still score high for effectiveness and creativity. I was playing this with harrow, but then sadly discovered it was an uncommon.
Here is my second entry:
Standard Pauper Landfall
Oh wow I had no idea this deck was extended! Thought it was vintage for sure!
Candyland
It is based upon red cards so judge carefully.
B/R Combo deck... particularly brutal in multiplayer.
judgment/book-burning.jpgBook Burning by
tapanmeister
Damn, linked to the judgement card. Try this one on for size!
Book Burning!
... plus, for added pimpitry, it has no creatures!
most of these still seem like burn or quick aggro, even a lot of the combo. I think that there shoul be more clarification on the theme and how much can be a different color
take a chance and land recycle
I suppose technically even the example I gave (guildpact/niv-mizzet-the-firemind.jpgNiv-Mizzet, the Firemind) is burn. but i just wanted to see a red deck win without burning. burning meaning 2010-core-set/lightning-bolt.jpgLightning Bolt after Lightning Bolt to win the game. most of the decks sumbited so far are fair interpretations of this.
I know that I am repeating myself I just wanted to post mine together take a chance 1st entry land recycle 2nd entry searing control 3rd entry
btw- what are these being tested against, anything in the extended environment or just other submitted challenge decks. Just wondering for sideboards
I generally test the decks against each other and, if necessary because there are weird quirks about those matchups, also against "vanilla" archetypes that would be valid in the format. Not sure what Darkness' protocol will be, though.

Submissions:
Book Burning!
Stuffy Conscience
the plan was the run all the decks against each other, then randomly assign two headed giant. that depends on how many decks are submitted and if theres an even number and all that.
Can I withdraw entries to save you time and effort and then submit some others in place (although a smaller number to save you effort).
Submit as many as your want. I'm almost done with most entries because the only real restriction that need to be judged by playing is the last one, which i will do once i am done accepting challenges. because i've pretty much gotten all of them "half-done", dont withdraw any. besides, then more the enter the better chance you have of winning.
unless you just suck.
Here is my submission: UR Ponza.
hooray uno más White fire at the end of the tunnel
Final entry : Kiki-Truder
another entry ramp drags on
another entry sanz erhnam and burn em
Linking to browser-hijacking rickroll sites is totally exodus/forbid.jpgForbidden. Possibly even betrayers-of-kamigawa/quash.jpgQuashable.
oh. sorry. just trying to give some people some laughs. any chance you can delete it?
Check out LAND!!!!! and Milled with devour! i might edit would i need to repost them?
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/goblins-11/
im just going down the line, so if you DO edit, please do repost it. that way i can keep going down the line without jumping around.
thanks.
2 things.
Since there is a deadline and editing may be happening up until that deadline. It might not be a good idea I think that you should wait till everything is done.
And linking to that song wierd page is just lame. The comedy career will not work out. Funny and lame are different words
you might try waiting until the end and then random spotted single elimination one-on-one matches in a bracket system to the finals. Sounds like a fair way to do it. That way you can assign points for winning at differing levels. Solid criteria I think.
I have a challenge idea - vintage. deck must cost around 35 bucks. for every dollar you go over , you start with one less life. ie a 40 dollar deck would penalize you 5 life at the stat of a duel.
@squire,
sorry for the inappropriate comment.
the rest of the stuff sounds very fair
I retract my submission due to the rickrolling.
Go back to 4chan n00b.
unrickrolled. =D
@yeago thank you!
@clustro really? you dont want to be judged?
Punishment! and Spark Fire
Whiplash
Through the Fire and Flames and I swear that is my last one.
Wait for it...wait for it...BAM!
My entry. (: hope you enjoy it.
Hey guys, this is what I built for my challenge. I wont be counting it in the round robin mayhem, but I'm just posting it to show you the type of deck that would probably do very well in the challenge. Stuffy In Here?
... I just built a stuffy/plasma deck for this. Real original! :)
i dont know what you're talking about. :D
BETTER burn up the hand
Burny
Now accepting guesses as to who will win the challenge, and with what deck. special "trophy" and honorable mention if you can guess one, or both!
only one guess per person. No guesses will be accepted after 12am on January 21st.
I guess $ªmHεiπ, Kiki-Truder
I lied, Grixis Hurt V4.
you shall never be trusted again :)
Not trying to alter the outcome or anything but I think Squire nailed the prettiest deck build.
with which deck?
update on LAND!!!!!
As in he said Kiki-Truder was good. I think it is too although not necessarily the best.
Panoptic Stupor. Wonderful bit with the land mana, its not abusive at all to stick to the rules not the spirit, right?
Sprouting Lock? another one fo the road. And also... Kiki should lose by default, isn't part of this based on creativity? And i think its banned in EXT... But id double check... Havn't seen it at extended tournaments, but red and blue have answers for fast stuff so it would be there...
Time! Darkness, rate these and get me your results, if you'd be so kind.
cmon guys, basic internet search skills http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Resources.aspx?x=judge/resources/banned most of the banned/restricted lists were changed last October.
@darkmonk6593 megrim/discard/rack and you're busting my chops for creativity?
I'm already started. school stands in the way, but I'll get them too you as soon as possible.
@ Samhein: Take a look at the second deck i posted Sprouting Lock?, and tell me about how typical that deck is. And while the megrim discard may have been good, i don't believe it ever was banned (instant fame?) like kikki. And for the creativity in the rack deck, look to the uses of transmute, and the panoptic mirror, unconventional in typical decks.
dang i was too late, if you want to see i have a no burn red deck, it is a combo i have liked for a while, and presantly have not seen it used by anyone but me. let me know, i saw the chalenge too late
feel free to still post it, just know it wont be included in the challenge.
here it is, Decks: you loose
results up soon. just doing some last playing and I'll have the top ten up for you. should be done by tomorrow mid-day, and KC will probably post it that night.
What time is it now?
That's a lot of work to do, take all the time you need, Darkness.
How about using... Non-basic land... (gasp)... I know pretty ingenious.
i actually finished it a little bit ago. its up to KC to post it now.
