Pro Tour-Berlin Deck Tech: Fellowship of the Ring

[PapaPiccolo]

Good on these guys it's nice to see someone having fun and trying something new!

[NuclearPony]

I play for fun, winning is just a nice bonus to add. But ofcourse you would like to win as much as you can on tournaments. I never complain when I lose (as long as I had my fun). At least these guys try to be creative, respect for that all the way !!!! Go Swedes !!!! By the way, freakin' awesome deck ! it's simply sick !

:D

[HandOfQuaid]

would anyone know what the standard (2010) equivalent of this deck would be now?

[maximus2357]

"...and then you win." Haha.

[xandrewxjonesx]

haha, this is like 'what if swissgaar from dethklok played magic' awesome

[snarfoogle]

I like how it only runs 1 ofs the Mythic PWs, except the promo Ajani.

[vickielynns]

lol i only have 6 different planeswalkers now, i dont think i want to trade in my tezzeret for an elspeth anyways

[fourstatefav]

this deck is so sick

[fourstatefav]

its good man, really ... had to beilive but it is

[thetrigger41]

chandra nalaar's last effect + rings of brighthearth= dead opponent just because people don't use her doesn't mean she sucks that much

[JuanofArk]

does anyone know the rules to planewalkers

[fourstatefav]

yeah

[sausebio]

NO BITCH

[mightyturisas]

it'd be better with liliana+elspeth+Garruk

[fourstatefav]

i dont kno the new ajani is pretty good, i like garruk and lilian and one elspeth and chandra is a great finisher ... liliana would be better against control while chandra better against creature decks, my opinion

[spmandmtgr]

ok when you use the ring of Brighthearth

on the planswalker do you just copy the abillty and get no counters or do you get to copy it and get more counters on the planswalkers...

[jvdthwip]

Adding a removing counters to the 'walker are the cost to play the ability. Think of it as "Add 1 counter to Garruk: Untap up two target lands." When you play the ability, obviously the Rings never see the cost, only the ability itself when copying.

[polkadotedfish]

most interesting deck ever

[bigblopper]

I saw somebody playing it this weekend, it was really bad.

[komatos]

bad as in it sucked or bad as in it took people by suprise.

[bigblopper]

sucked. although it was playing against what's probably it's toughest matchup, fairys.

[jvdthwip]

I guess you have to take into account the skill of the player, the tweaking of his build, and finally the skill and deck of the opponent. It looks like it could be good. If it were me, though, I'd probably be running Firespouts, since their just so good, and 1 mana less than Wrath.

[NivMizzetFiremind]

with this deck i feel thought seize and vess make it good for a control match, also try a build with U in it too, tez can fetch all sorts of artifacts (and rings) and jace is never bad as a card drawing machine and a fog + card when your behind :)

[starwarsmaniac93]

looks fun but at the same time looks pretty expensive, still loving the deck and that chandra is seeing some play

[movieman423]

it is expensive. it looked at the cost for it. came out to almost $400

[JashiNeXe]

Seems to me 3 of each planeswalker would be better rather than sarkhan and elspeth being single. although i wonder whether this was financial as elspeth and sarkhan are neither cheap nor easy to come by.

If i had these card i would probably play it once at fnm just to shake things up a bit.

But ye i think that if you can get any 3 planeswalkers out you stand a good chance to win seeing u buy so much time while your opponent tried to deal with it. Fun but a bit lame as well.

[WildRicochet]

Fy fa an va töntigt!

[radonikolesko]

What are the three cards in the top right corner?

[FreshmanThesis]

At first I was like "wat"

But then I lol'd

[nathones]

I wish I knew why they only played 1 of some and 4 of the harder to protect planeswalkers.

[DariusKnightshade]

the one guy looks like his speech is dubbed

[Eibb]

Unfortunately, there aren't prizes for creativity in magic. Or building on a budget.  Play to win or don't complain if you lose.

[ShogunCharlie]

Lack... of creativity? Because this deck was really obvious as long as you had the money?

[XBlackFlagX]

Shorter BobGoo289: "I'm a scrub."

[jvdthwip]

You'd actually be surprised how many options you have when you have a few planeswalkers out. There's definitely some skill involved when playing the deck, like every deck. Most people were playing Faeries and such, and if you don't think that requires "an overabundance of money" you're wrong. Bitterblossoms and Cryptic Commands are expensive. Props to these guys for choosing to play a deck which *isn't* obviously good (chosen because it's *fun*).

[shadowhunter483]

Is it just me or is the sound off by a half a second?

[doomtomb3]

Yep, it is off.
