Deck concepts

[Duel]

I build my decks on a simple principle: take a great card with a drawback, and either remove the drawback or make it a bonus (islands sanctuary becomes absolutely amazing with howling mine). So what I need now is a card with a significant drawback (no, not fading, I've already solved the fading drawback). So, now I'm looking for a new deck concept and I appeal to you to give me a theme: I have more commons and uncommons from pre-weatherlight sets than anyone else I know. Plus other cards. Give me a sign, oh CPA!!!

Hmmmm...

does anyone remember Sea Troll from Homelands?
Is it possible to make HIM good?(besides erratta to make his CC 1U)

 

[ChasDen]

Orgg,

No not really by itself, but with other stuff it makes a good blocker with:

Fylamarid - Blue Summon Beast - Uncomm. – Tempest

1/3 Flying.
Fylamarid cannot be blocked by blue creatures. (U): Target creature is blue until end of turn.

This will make its ability more obtainable, but a lot of mana to tie up with so many other great blue blockers to pick from. For the most part sea troll is a dud.

Enjoy

Fylmarid is usable, I'll see what I can come up with with that, to start with. I'm sure there's something...

Break Flash! Break Flash! Break Flash!

I'll be happy to break flash. Just one question, what's flash?

 

[Quill]

This is flash:
1U Instant

Put a creature card from your hand into play. You may pay its mana cost reduced by up to 2. If you don't, sacrifice it.

Good luck

Okay, that's breakable. Start with the potential for small fading creatures, graveyard reccurence, and multi-color creatures. I like the card. I think that it's can be used, just give me some time.

Actually, it was errata-ed. The creature doesn't actually come into play. If you pay the CC, THEN it comes into play. So don't try to use it with Academy Rector like early bargain decks.

There goes my first idea.
