Wall of Roots would be better because I'm not too interested in drawing a whole lot of cards. You see, in this particular format this group decided to have a virtual Howling Mine effect kick-in starting on turn seven.

I knew I forgot to tell you guys something. Since this is an organized game with points and all I really need to be able to knock out everyone in one fell swoop. That's the reason for Biorhythm.
Now for casual play with nothing at stake, I really like Gaea's deck list.

ya...
I has all its threats in the form of spells that can deal with anything. what about adding some Mishra's factories?
I know they are colorless, but 1 for a 2/2 is so good. Maybe 2 spawning pools and a basic land for three of them?
I like the train tech!!
Natural affinity + Eradicate is pretty much a concede for them if they are playing a monocolor and you dont share a land type. I was wondering though, why the Chainer's instead of Diabolic Edicts 7 mana is a pretty high flashback, and in most cases you will not usually flash it. Diabolic is an instant, and can guarantee that you snipe off their only threat once it hits play.
Also what about Toxic Stench, Life/Death, and Terror....would these be better destruct spells than Banishing?...or what about is enchantment counter-part, Seal of Doom.

A little fragile, IMO. It has a lot of control cards, sure. But it just looks like a lot of decks could slip right between its defenses and smack it or something...Originally posted by Spiderman
It looks like it's supposed to control the board, recycling the various control elements with the Blessings, until you can beat them down with a Village
I bet you'd be surprised. I'm more used to MP play now where things are more forgiving, but it looks like you're always going to have an answer in your hand while you build up to the global effects like Persecute.
In fact, I'll try playing it vs a deck you have in the Games Run forum if you want...

Fair enough, many of those control cards (it's been a while since I saw a Persecute are pretty cool in action and it can be really cool, especially against blue, which makes sense what with the deck being made by Train) are pretty cool...
I think it should maybe have a full set of Villages though. Maybe I'm just used to decks with more threats, rather than lots of proactive/reactive answers to opposing threats...
Sure, I'd play against it though. Be cool to see it in action. How do you do that though? I've never done this before...

Cool, I ought to find something random to use though, so as not to have an edge over the control deck...
Edit: Okay, I went back and looked at old games in the other forum. Seems easy enough. Any preferences on what sort of deck I use? I mean, I might have developed a reputation for using decks that are not Vintage legal, but I have plenty lists for those, and the new 1.5, and some for the old 1.5, as well as decklists for Extended, Standard, Peasant, and even MD5 block. I can just proxy anything I don't have for this. So what would you prefer?

You know, beats me because I don't know what format train's decklist is intended for. Definitely not Standard or Peasant though
So I say play what you want, even a non-tourney legal Vintage deck and we can see how it goes. If you end up playing one and you totally cream me, we can try with some tourney-legal deck
Call Heads or Tails to see who goes first.
