Sealed List

That build seems incredibly greedy. You did have alot of fixing though. How much mana trouble did you have? I'd like to see the rest of your pool so I could see what you chose to leave out. Doesn't seem like you needed to play the blue. Ingenuity is obviously great, but the other two blue cards are pretty average even in a blue deck. Needs some flyers or reach creatures so you don't have to waste your removal on every little flyer.

I understand

what you are saying *Dream Crusher* but I normally build a deck around the way I play in sealed though it may not be the best deck in the pool. I cant play aggro in limited I always build my decks to draw cards and use tempo to win. When I do this I normally end up winning or do well. I also found my pool sucked only having the viable rares I used. I had a lot of red all sucked like 3 of that crappy goblin that can only attack when your opp takes damage. My white was ok had some so so fliers but only like 4 things I splashed the blue just to get more tempo in my deck. and with thee cultivates my deck rarely struggled. I never lost a game when I drew green. I only lost one game and I kept a no forest hand with 2 Cultivates.

I don't understand at all how

I don't understand at all how the blue splash increases tempo.

But I do like most of your build, it is entirely different than everyone else told me it was. It is just fine, it is strong green so the Cultivates belong to facilitate everything else, and they are on color. You don't splash Cultivate to splash other stuff, which is what other people said you did.

I don't understand this nonsense about you having such a weak cardpool though. It seems like everyone says that when they don't have triple bomb rare in their deck. It's hogwash. Weak versus strong decks aren't about number of playable rares.

o.O

Your deck seems to have some good cards. i'm interested to see what else u had too. I haven't had a sealed draw like yours so i really wouldn't know what to make of it. It is very hard to win without flyers or reach in this set though.

cultivate

Sad you had 3 cultivate but no reason to play them. I love kodama's reach.

Ice Cage

Submitted by peteyJ on July 12, 2010 - 5:14pm.

How often did ice cage just suck? I'm not sure how easy it is to target your guys without wasting a quality spell. Ice cage is terrible against blinding mage type cards that can target any creature. Doesn't seem like there are much of these in the set though.

The mages

Submitted by Daniel Gardner on July 12, 2010 - 5:20pm.

B/W had the mages but I killed them everytime and it did not really go active. Most people just could not stop it cause I use them eary game and keep my kill for biggens! So if they do waste a spell or even not a waste and just target it I am not affected.
