I think some of the most powerful newer cards are

-Molder Slug
-Troll Ascetic
-Sakura-Tribe Elder
-Wear Away
-Umezawa's Jitte
-Cranial Extraction
-Kiki-Jiki
-Kokusho, the Evening Star
-Swords of Fire/Ice, and Light/Shadow
-Arashi, the Sky Asunder
-Nezumi Shortfang

and I can give valid reasoning for all the above choices.


-i agree on ascetic. 3nodding


Yeah, especially when I cast it 2nd turn with a Birds, and my opponent has no counterspell mana.

Troll Ascetic/Kodama of the North Tree + MUC= Win


-well i've seen a decent "rock"
deq with 4 ascetic's heh. it was
unstopable.

I've never really liked the idea of Ascetic in the Rock, but post rotation may make that a nescessity. Right now I only run metagame and expendable creatures, like Withered Wretch and Ravenous Baloth. I'm thinking after rotation that the Wretchs can come out for Troll Ascetics. I'm trying to figure out what decks will be big in extended, but I'm thinking Mind's Desire, Goblins, and Affinity (Molder Slug in the sideboard, haha! No more Guilded Lotus, or Artifact Lands!)

Actually, I've had a very good run with my old Rock deck without any Ascetics.

Goblins is going to make it a necessity to have, though, as well as black control. Baloth I agree with, as well as birds. I hate the fact that I'm loosing Yavimaya Elder, but Sakura fullfills the slot enough to be used. Also, I'm gonna miss having Diabolic Edict, but I'll deal.

wellwisher
Warrior X
I can't really say because they sent me to Iraq so anything after Darksteel I haven't been able to get yet crying , so you guys gotta let me know which blocks to buy booster boxs of xd
umm darksteel fifth dawn and anything that came before Kamigawa. (i know ppl will hate me for this opinion but i personally hate kamigawa. it doens't have anything special about it except for samurai, ninja, and loads of spirits. no other advantages. Kamigawa decks get eaten alive from old-school decks)


id have to agree with you there. there were only a few good combos that came from kamigawa and even fewer good cards.9th editions gonna be alot better i hope.

i put the ascetic to good use i think:

4x troll ascetic
4x humble budoka
4x tooth of chiss-goria
2x scale of chiss-goria
3x kodama of north tree
4x mana leak
4x condesend
4x kodamas reach
4x serum visions
10x forest
10x island
4x cowardice
3x chrome mox

it all revolves around cowardice, creatures that cant be targeted, and the teeth and scales.

-o.k.!!? who said we need a deq list. stare
PostPosted: Sun Jan 08, 2006 3:08 pm


well the skullclamp and the jette are bolth way up there when it comes to kicking @$$. also the crainial extraction/shurestrike trident combo is more then something to be sad about. it is a cheap way to win. but it works...also Uuo. the blue critter that can copy spells is a bit over the top.

Jitte and double strike. 'nuff said.
PostPosted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 6:35 am


I had bought 2 packs and managed to get a jitte in each of them, one foil and one normal. They're definitly the best out of betrayers.

I like burning tree shaman from guildpact since almost everyone uses sensei's divining top and sac elders and stuff like that
