Title: Unblockable poison
Date Posted: Fri Jun/18/10 at 11:54pm

I was inspired by Icuonuez's Assassin deck. I wanted to make a deck that is different as well, so, I decided on an unblockable poison deck. Basically, my opponent(s) are either going to die by taking too much unblockable damage or by getting too many poison counters. I'm mainly shooting for the latter. Now, you may be saying "but scoot, green haz so many moar poizuns!". They actually don't. There are only three poisonous green creatures. Black also has the ability to give creatures poison. So, why not give it to the only color (mostly) that has unblockable creatures?

Creatures:
(Blue)    Deep-Sea Kraken x2
(Black)  Suq'Ata Assassin x4
(Black)  Crypt Cobra x2
(Black)  Pit Scorpion x4
(Black)  Swamp Mosquito x4
(Blue)    Crafty Pathmage x4
(Blue)    Phantom Warrior x2

Artifacts:
Viridian Longbow x3

Spells:
(Black)  Dark Ritual x3
(Black)  Snake Cult Initiation x3
(Blue)   Cloak of Mists x2
(Blue)   Distortion Strike x2
(Blue)   Infiltrate x2
(Black)  Diabolic Tutor x2
(Black)  Unholy Strength x2
(Black)  Beacon of Unrest x1

Lands:
Creeping Tar Pit x3
Evolving Wilds x2
Swamps x7
Islands x6

I wanted to use Zhuge Jin, Wu Strategist along with Crafty Pathmage since it allows any creature to
be unblockable, but he's really spendy. Plus, most of the creatures that give poison counters are under 2 power.

As always, comments/suggestions are welcome!

I'm guessing that no one posted, so you wanted to bring this to the back of the "recent" list.

why the long bow, every poison creature you have only deals counters via combat damage which makes the longbow a simple pinger.  unholy doesn't make sense either, it will make your creature to powerful to be made unblockable by the pathemage.  I would lost those and the beacon and replace them with writ of passage, with its forecast ability you will have a repeatable version of pathmage 5-7 only difference being an ability your opponent won't have alot of options for it. cut a pathmage for it too.  would lose the kraken (cost), distortion and infliitrate (the writ is repeatable) and replace them with some control/removal aspects

I think dimir infiltrator would be better then phantom warrior but thats just my preference

Gericault:

The Longbow was in there because I thought I could ping them and they would get a poison counter. I asked in the "Answers" topic and someone said it would work, so I put it in. So, they were wrong?

The Unholy Strength's were going to be used on my unblockable creatures and the Swamp Mosquito. A Swamp Mosquito with Unholy Strength would be a 2/2 that gives a poison counter, so it would still work with the Pathmage.

Yeah, I really thought about putting in Writ of Passage, but I thought I may not be able to use it enough. However, since I could use it at least two times (I know I could Forecast it multiple times) and I would have four of it in the deck, I could use it at least eight times. And, if I'm using it eight times, my opponent should either be dead or very close to being dead. I think I will put it in there.

I put the Kraken in there because of it's suspend ability. The people I play against play quite a bit of spells, which means the Kraken is going to be on the battlefield really quick without me paying much. Then he's unblockable and I can throw the Snake Cult Initiation on it and they'll be dead in no time... Either by losing life or by poison counters.

I see your point about the Pathmage and Infiltrate, but I think I'm going to keep Distortion Strike in because it is repeatable (Not as much as Writ of Passage, but I could still get eight uses out of it if I put four of them in the deck).

I thought about Dimir Infiltrator, too. I like that he's unblockable and Trasmute is always handy, but he only does one damage. I could always throw an Unholy Strength on him, though. ;)

What control/removal spells would you recommend?

Shakii:

I think you are thinking of Serpent Generator. That was one of my first thoughts, but it's just too expensive to only make a 1/1 poisonous snake. Pay 6 to cast, then pay 4 to tap and I get one, 1/1 snake. :

Yes but if you can overwhelm their defenses, then they don't really stand a chance. . .

How would you suggest overwhelming their defenses with Serpent Generator? I just don't see how it's viable.

you can use sleep to tap them all allowing your creatures through, also the serpert generator allows you to use longbow since there counters rely on damage (pit scorpin does to).  Since all ypur creatures that give posion counters other then pit scorpion give them even without damage I still think unholy is unnecessary especially if you want to win via poison counters, but its only my opinion.  as for control/removal spells its up tp you, I prefer counters and bounce over removal myself as it causes them to was mana

Well, i mean, serpent generator is better than unholy strength on a poisonous deck right?
There are only a few creature with poisonous (including the sliver), why not put the generator in there...

Creatures
Pit scorpion x 4
crypt cobra x 4
Guard Gomazoa X 4
Escape artist X 2
Phantom Warrior X 2
Ghastlord of Fugue X 2
Deep-Sea Kraken X 2

Spells
Specter\\\'s Shroud X 2
Protective Bubble X 2
Whispersilk Cloak X 2
Snake Cult Initiation x 4
Grappling Hook X 4
Quietus Spike X 2
Cloak of Mists X 4

Lands
Frost Marsh X 4
Creeping Tar pit X 4
Swamp X 5
Island X 7

That's
my unblockable poison deck. Without the lands, I bought it for bout $23
on coolstuffinc.com. Most of the unblockable creatures only has a
converted mana cost of 3 to play. The majority are weak so they wont do
well as blockers. That\\\'s why i put in Guard Gomazoa [oracle: Prevent
all combat damage that would be dealt to Guard Gamazoa.] and Pariah
shield. [oracle:All damage that would be dealt to you is dealt to
equipped creature instead] therefore making it block multiple
creatures. with a poison unblockable deck, you want to be as fast as
possible. You only need 10 poison counters to win the game. and the
earlier the win, the easier it will be. so you can\\\'t really get any
cheaper than converted mana cost of usually 3 for 1/1 poison creatures
and 2 for 1/1 unblockable creatures. so i stacked up on those. I have 8
creatures with poison on them and i have 8 spells that would make them
unblockable / shroud. 4 Snake Cult Initiation for the unblockables.
Grappling Hook gives a creature double strike so imagine. A poisonous
would deal 2 poison counters per turn or an unblockable with Snake Cult
Initiation would do 6 poison counters per turn. only a matter of time
for 10. I added Quietus Spike and Specter's Shroud just for kicks. i
hope you enjoy my version.

In case you forgot, Virudent Sliver can be an addition to the deck...
And the snake cult initiation was a great addition to the deck while sticking to the deck color...

Manawise or costwise?

Manawise of course... because it's 6 to cast, 4 to activate... for a 1/1 flying that maybe your only backup plan if for example a mass removal came along... Plus it also posts as an additional threat... it's like reanimating a 1/1 fly critter with poisonous... but if you're really going for the fast kill, try double strike...

Yes, I think it's too expensive, manawise. Six to cast and 4 to use ability for a 1/1 is too expensive to me. Shakii, they aren't even flying. They're just 1/1's with poison. I guess they could be used as a last resort, but if I can pull six or ten mana one turn, it'd be a better idea to cast something else.

Yeah... you might be right but if there is nothing else to cast because all are dead, this might be a good idea...

That is nice. I don't know why, but I don't like equipping a creature with two things. It just seems like it would take too long and I'm relying too much on one thing. I might make an exception for this, though.

I thought about lust but was having, and still am,  a hard time building the deck around that principle, as I didn't want it based just on the hotness of the cards choosen.  I have thought about going metephoricail and baseing in on winds, in reference to dantes version

You must understand though that the demonic embodyment of lust is not only the succubus, but also the Erinyes, and erinyes are just fallen angels, thus you could attempt a deck based around mostly black angels.

See thats the problem i was to build a deck based on the sin of lust , just like any of the other sins, I want to build it based on the idealology of the sin, rather then on physical description, for example I wouldn't use gluttonous zombie in a gluttony deck.

though lyzolba would be in a pic based one

for gluttony i ws thinking either sac for temp gain, bloodthorne vamp.  or forced sac to keep in play-doomgape, braids, the oni's -I feel both of these feed well into the gluttons desire to consume without truly becoming stated

for envy i was thinking of a life stealing deck, cards like spell syphon, blind hunter, etc..  the desire for another persons life

for greed, its a desire for material gain-a steal deck seems natural for this

Greed = Draw
Gluttony = fat creatures
Anger = hasty creature/creature which attack each turn if able and pumps
Lust = ???
Pride = Legendary? Knights? Samurais?
Sloth = Hmmmm, waiting win conditions like Darksteel Forge...
Envy = Creature control

nice shakii

I was thinking of tapping out the opponet creatures -bindmage, scepter of dominance, etc..-for sloth-make his stuff to lazy to attack-though I do like that idea of just doing nothing and waiting for the win

I was thinking the same thing for anger only without the pump-I think the pump/firebreathing or fatties will be good for pride-the inflated sense of ones own self and abilities

But i think you can make decent deck built around black angels... or sexy creatures... if you want it... or maybe make a deck built around all the 7 deadly sins altogether and not on its own...

You could but the shop near me goes these fanatasy formats where there are spefics you build your deck with and then play againest peoples decks built with the same restirections.  The idea this month is to build a deck based on 1 of the seven deadly sins,

I'll go for Anger... Fast win for you... Or maybe a double strike deck... that's one of the angriest deck i can think of... Red/G... or R/W... plus the ever so often cheese/burn spells...

Or maybe incorporate your idea with my idea of sloth... while waiting for the win, tap your opponent's creatures... Icy Manipulator FTW!

thats the idea behind the fantasy format, its suppose to be different, and give people a chance to explore while keeping everyone on the same playing field.

hey I'm still debating but if you have an idea for envy go for it, I'll choose from one of the other 6-i'm actually leaning more toward sloth, i like shakiis idea of using an alternate wincon

Envy could take control of your opponent's stuff.

Since it looks like Twogun is going with Envy I am putting my idea for that on hold,  I think I'm going more sloth or gluttoney

also turbine read the posts above for my take on envy

from above

for gluttony i ws thinking either sac for temp gain, bloodthorne vamp.  or forced sac to keep in play-doomgape, braids, the oni's -I feel both of these feed well into the gluttons desire to consume without truly becoming stated

for envy i was thinking of a life stealing deck, cards like spell syphon, blind hunter, etc..  the desire for another persons life

for greed, its a desire for material gain-a steal deck seems natural for this
