Pressure

I promised a while ago that I'd post a decklist for my favourite style
of deck. It's made up out of whatever I had available in the
collection already, I didn't go out of my way to get more cards for
it. It's a weird mix-up of toolbox, control and combo that I think of
as 'pressure'. This particular one, we ended up just calling it...
"The Box"

19 Forest
2 Glacial Chasm
1 The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
1 Strip Mine

4 Wall of Roots
3 Gaea's Blessing
3 Lifespark Spellbomb
2 Horn of Greed
2 Sun Droplet
2 Darksteel Brute
2 Mind Stone
2 Crucible of Worlds
2 Ferropede
2 Exploration
2 Creeping Mold
1 Zuran Orb
1 Ensouled Scimitar
1 Pithing Needle
1 Abundance
1 Hurricane
1 Fastbond
1 Winter Orb
1 Guardian Idol
1 Meekstone
1 Black Vise
1 Holistic Wisdom

Very easy to play. Step 1 is to use walls and lockdown cards to stall
the opponent. Step 2 is to dig through the deck as much as possible
looking for key cards, perhaps nibbling with Ferropedes if they fail
to get blown up. Step 3 is to set off the life/mana/cards combo and
play as many Hurricanes as needed to kill off the opponent.

It's only fallen to quick creature-based combos like Circu/Harpy,
otherwise it's pretty mean to most decks. My plans are to add some
actual creature removal, maybe something as simple as a splash of
white and some Swords to Plowshares. I don't bring the deck out
very often as our group is much more about making cool interactions
happen than about the big win - so I don't get to playtest it
extensively. I'm sure there are better versions that fit with
your local group and your card collection, if you want to try it
out...
