The Deck Strat Page	7/6/2011 12:51:34 AM
	I am creating this page because I have spent over 2 years trying to promote someone to create this section and well no one does. So I am creating it. Basically as the title states, this is the Deck Strat section of EM. This is where people can post till their hearts content Deck Strat interactions that you want people to see and know about. Firstly, to make this completely separate from the Combo page of EM (other than it is in the forum section of EM) there needs to be some ground rules. Definition of Deck Strat: When 2 or more cards work well together but for me to get the most out of that interaction I require a deck specifically built for it. Definition of Combo: When 2-3 cards produce an end result greater than the sum of its parts and/or creates a unique end result. Definition of a Synergy: When 2 or more cards work well together. The reason these definitions are here because of the ground rules: 1) No combos to be posted here. (Combos have a place to be posted already, don’t post them here!) 2) No Synergy interactions to be posted here (I have also created a Synergy forum here at the same time. Please use that for those) 3) “Preferably” no exact repeats. I understand that if this is used a lot there maybe repeats in the future but please don't aim for this. 4) If there is one you rate the Deck Strat above yours and maybe make a suggestion for improvement (or what works better) or even what type of deck you could see it working well in. 5) After rating and/or suggesting it post your own Deck Strat interaction or post a card that you’d like someone to find a strong deck strat interaction for. 6) Please use etags. Any further suggestions, let me know by PMing me. Thanks “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up. Force of Will Buy = stuff any deck/combo up with the added bonus of yelling out "surprise"! Remember, nothing in magic is unbeatable.” Please post your Synergies here: The Synergy Page Thank you. (\__/) ( o.O) This is Bunny.

	Quoting smudge12:Myr Incubator Buy+Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas Buy Well, it is a deck strat so I'm going to rate it accordingly. Unfortunetly it is a one hit wonder. out of 5 for this one. Eternal Witness Buy + Eternal Witness Buy + Phyrexian Altar Buy + Aluren Buy = infinite mana. (just miss' out of combo classification because of it needing 4 cards “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up. Force of Will Buy = stuff any deck/combo up with the added bonus of yelling out "surprise"! Remember, nothing in magic is unbeatable.” Please post your Synergies here: The Synergy Page Thank you.

	Quoting Cry_Havoc:Eternal Witness Buy + Eternal Witness Buy + Phyrexian Altar Buy + Aluren Buy = infinite mana. (just miss' out of combo classification because of it needing 4 cards And a 5th card on which to spend the infinite mana. You could easily fix that by using Blasting Station Buy or Altar Of Dementia Buy as the sac outlet instead of Phyrexian Altar Buy, though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Magic Rules Advisor AIM: clanlsg 2010 eMmies: Nicest Member 2009 eMmies: Most Likely to be Mod 2008 eMmies: Nicest Member, Best Sig, Funniest Member, Most Likely to be Mod <(-'.'-)> Q(-'.'-Q) <(-'.'-<) (>-'.'-)> O==(-.-Q) t(-'.'-t)

	Quoting Jmh:Academy Researchers Buy + Fool's Demise Buy + Sacrifice Outlet of infinite proportions.. That's really a combo jmh, as you would only need these three cards on their own and you've won. “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up.

	what if you used it with Voidmage Prodigy Buy where it isnt infinite and is limited to the amount of open mana available to you?

	Quoting Jmh:what if you used it with Voidmage Prodigy Buy where it isnt infinite and is limited to the amount of open mana available to you? That's not the issue mate at all. A deck strat can go infinite, its just that the one you posted is a combo as it can easily work in its own right without a deck specifically built for it. Makes sense? Add the voidmage, then yeah. You could easily rate that as a deck strat. for that one. Also, good improvements on my earlier post cal. Keep the deck strats coming people. “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up.

	I think this one's been around for a while, but my friend plays it and I hate it when it gets pulled off (especially since I'm a black player and barely have any ways to stop artifacts...Braids is about it): Mana Vault Buy+Karn, Silver Golem Buy+Voltaic Construct Buy+Planar Portal Buy = Play your whole library in an artifact deck (excluding lands).

Na, worse still in an artifact deck: Metalworker Buy + Staff of Domination Buy = Infinite colorless mana, infinite life and I have my whole deck in my hand. How you win from there really depends on the artifact you use. “Counterspell Buy = stuff any deck/combo up. Force of Will Buy = stuff any deck/combo up with the added bonus of yelling out "surprise"!

	Ah the good ol' Swiss Army Knife. We all know Metalworker Buy is one of the best known mana producers ever, but I think Staff of Domination Buy is one of the most underrated cards in the game. Even without infinite mana, the thing can pack a punch.
