lawl

i played a different version of this deck, mainly not having green, in a local tournament last fnm, and i got 1st with a 50 dollar store credit.....

:D

[Ballinlolz]

HAHA, and people thought gerry t made this deck.

[toor314]

Thanks for the Positive Comments guys. As far as I know the deck won one more PTQ before becoming the much better UB thopter depths.

and yes I occasionally play at 401.

[Blizzard500]

shit, i played this guy at a tournament at 401 toronto

[bucifer]

Have my babies Lucas! <3

[on1clean]

woot B-Town Magic

[FFSMANWTF]

omg he talks to fast for me to even understand

[y04chs431]

Simply amazing. I'm really happy to see the Thopter combo, let alone Hexmage, and then a Gifts engine to boot.

[Super19nazzy]

any of u guys know where i can find a decklist?

[Hutch8729]

What is the blue card in the top right corner? 3 of above gifts.

[j12601]

Ponder.

It's the original one from Lorwyn.

[mtgforlife]

It's because Snow Land are hella sexy. It's another one of those why not play a land with better art moments. The main reason for Snow Lands is that people like their art.

On to his deck. It looks a lot better than the strait Dark Depths package. Also looks like it has around a 60/40 match up with Dark Depths because of Thopter Foundry combo.

Not entirely true. In a gifts deck he can now tutor for a normal island and a snow-covered one.

[Alicabob]

I'm calling it now. Lucas is going all the way. I have played against him and I have to say he is probably the best magic players I have seen hands down.

[kickboxingchavo]

fail

[manudosde]

Awesome list, although I think my brain would melt if I tried to play it.

[jwmints]

wow hes canadian, there are almost no canadians in the pro tour.

i hope he does well

[SpicyHam]

damn he stole my deck list!

[tehphir3]

this and hypergenesis are the coolest decks this formats

[blithium]

Question: Is there a particular reason that people play basic snow lands in a deck that doesn't require them?

[roykillany]

i think it's an inside joke among pro's to make us hoi polloi confused. same thing with running 61 cards.

[pcbaal]

It is so that they can search an Island and a Snow Island with Gifts.

[carthwolf]

also true.

[blithium]

This, I'll accept.

[carthwolf]

The answer is,

Why would you not.

[kaislytry]

Sexehness.

[Hipposailor]

They look cool?

[bjjartist]

a toolbox deck w/ two different toolboxes. Genius.

[cruciald]

i don't see you playing in the pro tour.

[hottscanscom]

doesnt make him any less of a big scrub

[cruciald]

Well, considering the Chapin and Nassif played fairly similar decks..You basically just called Patrick Chapin and Gabriel Nassif scrubs too. Good luck with proving that theory.

[hottscanscom]

chapin went 1-5, nassif went 4-3-1, neither of them day 2'ed. Lucas might be a scrub, but he's not even close to as scrubby as nassif or chapin.

[adamgutg]

did you even played in a pro tour?

[cruciald]

So a pro tour hall of fame eligible player with 2 pro tour wins and one of the most well respected players and deck builders in the game are scrubs? Man your logic is seriously fantastic. I'll be looking for your name in the top 8 of PT: San Diego.

[arcengal]

@hottscanscom Holy hell that means I finished better than Chapin did in Austin. XD
