This is the bestest funniest most wackiest extended deck currently going:
The Deck: Full English Breakfast*
Designer: Paul Barclay (of Level Four judge fame, the number one rules expert)
10 land, 16 commons, 9 uncommons, 40 rares
Play Difficulty: 9 (Trix rates about a 6 on this scale)
Land:
4 Forest
6 Island
4 Tropical Island
1 Taiga
1 Savannah
2 Undiscovered Paradise
3 City of Brass
Magical Spells**:
4 Survival of the Fittest
4 Force of Will
3 Counterspell
Fantastic Creatures**:
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Wall of Roots
2 Quirion Ranger
4 Volrath's Shapeshifter
3 Tradewind Rider
2 Phyrexian Dreadnought
1 Elvish Lyrist
1 Uktabi Orangutan
1 Bottle Gnomes
1 Gilded Drake
1 Sliver Queen
1 Morphling
1 Reya, Dawnbringer
1 Flowstone Hellion
1 Squee, Goblin Nabob
Sideboard:
1 Pygmy Hippo (vs mono blue and Stasis)
1 Phelddagrif (vs Oath)
1 Recurring Nightmare (vs control and slower burn strategies)
1 Seal of Cleansing (vs Trix and heavy enchantment/artifact decks)
1 Gilded Drake (mirror match or other creature decks)
1 Spiketail Drake (vs Trix only)
1 Oath of Ghouls (vs various kinds of control)
1 Circle of Protection: Red (vs, well, Red)
1 Carrion Beetle (vs mirror match, Oath and similar decks)
1 Bottle Gnomes (vs Sligh)
1 Masticore (vs sligh, 3-deuce etc.)
1 Academy Rector (vs Sligh, Trix, control, fat creatures)
3 Pyroblast (vs anything with blue in it)
* It's named "Full English Breakfast" because it's full of fat and much nicer than boring old cereal.
** The phrase 'Magical Spells and Fantastic Creatures' appeared first on Magic booster packs but became something of an in-joke among top ranked players after Mercadian Masques came out. The joke being that WOTC was guilty of false advertising as Masques had very few Magical Spells, and almost no Fantastic Creatures at all.
