Post subject: current The Rock tech for CoK
Archived from groups: rec>games>trading-cards>magic>strategy (more info?)

I'm looking for post-CoK information on current builds of "The Rock" and
other Green/Black creature toolbox or reanimator decks (including but not
limited to the Extended tournament format). Can anyone point me towards any
articles or decklists (preferably winning ones Smile or other advice on the
current state-of-the-deck tech?

As a side note: creature toolbox decks (including GB ones people called "the
rock" but having no resemblance to the original) have failed miserably for a
long time in my local FNM scene. Not surprising, since they didn't have the
deck control or mass-removal available in Extended.

With many key green cards (Birds of Paradise, Troll Ascetic) available in
Type 2, and finally some deck control, too, I think I can build something
that would be viable in the current T2 metagame (where no one is prepared
for it). Learning which new cards others have had success with would go a
long way towards helping me to acheive my goal.

In particular, I'm looking for new creatures (particularly Legendary ones)
in green and my secondary color (not necessarily black, because).... maybe
Gx would be better than GB, because of the current lack of viable dual
lands, deck control, and removal for green/black in Type 2. The second color
would ideally provide some of these, just as black enables Vampiric Tutor
and Pernicious Deed in Extended.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
