Suicide
The name says enough. This deck is really suicide. With cards as Phyrexian
Negator and cards like Hatred you never know if you will win till the judge
has filled in the results. My own oppinion is that this deck is not really a large
tournament winner deck. But it sure isn't a tournament loser deck neither.
There are not many decks that can say that they have a game winner against
this because if you have a good hand you win in turn 3. And that hands
aren't even really rare. But, with that same hand a single shock can ruin your
game. It's an easy deck to play though. And without the Hatreds and the
Negators it's a good deck to start with, easy to play, and without that 2 cards
pretty good to finance since you dont need the Lake of the Deads anymore
then.
The way to play this deck (if you are not playing against red) is:
1st turn: Swamp - Carnophage
2nd turn: Lake of the Dead - Attack
3rd turn: Swamp - Attack - Activate Lake, play Hatred for 16 lives = game.
Statistics (1 is worst - 10 is best)
6 - Affordable
9 - Easy to play
6.5 - Fun to play
7.5 - strength
