Evil Deck I'm working on.
4x Brain Freeze
4x Wirewood Symbiote
4x Llanowar Elf
4x Memory Scroll
4x Dizzy Spell
4x Muddle the Mixture
4x Counterspell
4x Spell Snare
4x Mana Leak
4x Breeding Pool
4x Yamaviya Coast
8x Forest
8x Island
Deck wins by getting Symbiote on the table with a llanoware elf - doing multiple castings and dropping Brain Freeze for the win. It protects it's combo with 16 counters.

If I didn't know that MTG had moved on without me, that list would have convinced me Pooka. I think that I recognise maybe 4 non-land cards in that deck. :confused: On the other hand I love well crafted decks, so rock on and best of luck! :bow:

No kidding... Llanowar Elves, Counterspell and Mana Leak are the only cards in that deck that were in play way, way back when I stopped playing... Twelve years ago?
Wow.
The only way I've been able to play in the last few years was the old MTG computer game.
If your running Win95 or Win98 I totally recommend snagging a copy if your see it cheap, there is a really neat psudo "rpg" bit where you walk around battling monsters to win cards and weaken the 5 wizards trying to rule the planet. At the easy level you pick one color for your starting cards, and the harder the level you pick the more colors of cards you start with. (but the same amount of cards, so it's easier to get mana-screwed)
I just wish the game worked on WinXP, haven't tried it yet, but friends who tried it didnt' have any luck under XP.

I'm pretty sure XP wil NEVER be able to run it ; Over here , several peeps , some of them "Windows-Wizz-Kids"-ultima-forma , couldn't pull it off.
But I plan an attempt to make it run on Linux , using Wine.(Yes ; I have original copies of both CDs.)
Not sure if the disk-verification would fly , though...

How about some Simic Growth Chambers as well (the Blue/Green "Karoo" (come in play tapped and bounce another land, generate GU)?
And at first I didn't recognize the Breeding Pool as a land since you put it together with the counters.

A Karoo is useless to a deck trying to kill on turn 2.

That's what I was figuring, so I figure I'm just stuck setting a pc up with Dos6.22 and Win3.11 :heh: that way I can play a lot of the old games.
Pooka, turn 2 ?!?! YOW!!! I how does it play? How easy is it to get screwed by a bad draw? (not trying to be a pain, just wondering as I've been out of the game for awhile)
Turn 1 Forest, Llanowar Elf.
Turn 2 Play an island. tap the elf to play the wirewood symbiote, return the symbiote to your hand to untap the elf. Repeat, oh, 30 times (it's an infinite loop). Then play brainfreeze (dumps 3 cards from library to graveyard for each spell played that turn - opponent loses via decking).
To stop the combo they have to kill the elf. Counterspelling Brainfreeze won't work - the storm copies still hit the stack and resolve normally.

Oh for Pete's sake, how did that one get through playtesting? I admit that I haven't played for a while, but I thought they were trying to eliminate infinite loops?
It didn't get through playtesting. Spoony has misread the card. The Symbiote says:
"Return an Elf you control to its owner's hand: Untap target creature. Play this ability only once each turn."
The Symbiote is an Insect.
