Deck Challenge:Trained Orgg

Yes that right, Trained Orgg and i know what your thinking isn't that the rare 6/6 for :mana6::manar:, Why would anyone want to run that in a deck? well i guess i do owe an explanation you see i always thought it would be funny to win a casual games with Vizzerdrix (for all of you who dont know thats Trained Orgg in blue) after all it is one of the worst rares ever, Right? Well basically my friend challenged me. He would build the Vizzerdrix deck and i would build the Trained Orgg deck and we would play a few games and see who would win, we haven't discussed a prize yet but it but im sure it will end with some sort of wager, so these are the rules he laid out so far...

1. The main focus of the deck has to be (in this case) Trained Orgg, Meaning that your win condition has to rely on Trained Orgg. I can think of tons of ways to break this rule the way he worded it but i would like to just win legit.

2. No Power Nine, or Restricted cards.

3.60+ card decks.

4(not really a rule...) There may also be a competition for the most creative decks so keep that in mind, other than that go nuts.

And as for additional info the deck can be any color/colors as long as rule 1 is still fallowed. I look forward to seeing your decks and hearing you ideas on the subject i will post if i hear anything new.

Full of blue hate. Boil is disgustingly good, destroying all islands. Red Elemental Blast is also disgustingly good, countering a blue spell or destroying a blue permanent for only :manar:. Plenty of cards to keep your opponent at bay, ramp your mana, and pretty much the only win condition is combat damage from Trained Orgg. This deck would never win a game, though, except knowing that you're playing against a deck built around Vizzerdrix

Both decks are looking like they will be very fun to play, i believe that my friend is going to try to find cards that let him do damage equal to Vizzerdrix's power to target player thats very much like his style im going to see if i can sneak a peek at what hes built so far. I plan on hanging out over there today so if i find anything out i will post it here tonight.

Thanks everyone!

Whatever deck you decide to run, regardless of what he runs, Red Elemental Blast and Boil will shut down your friend's deck if Vizzerdrix is his primary win condition.

Another idea I had was to play Hedron Matrix to turn your 6/6
Orgg into a 13/13, give him double strike with Assault Strobe and trample with Soulbright Flamekin.. and then if that's not enough, end the game with Fling. I've fallen in love with that last one over the course of the day :P
