A tournament deck (as best as I remember) I played when Revised was the \"Core\" set. It was a metagame shock that brought me a third place finish. With the right luck, you do the following: Turn 1: Urza\'s Tower, Sol Ring Turn 2: Urza\'s Mine, Juggernaut Turn 3: Badlands, Howl From Beyond(+4) Turn 4: Urza\'s Power Plant, Fireball (9) + Juggernaut attack

You do realize that the chances of the above happening are basically none, and your opponent should have a blocker out by turn 2 at the latest. So your plan is a little off. With the luck you would need to pull that off in the first place you might as well have gone for a first turn kill, not a 4th turn kill, many decks kill turn 4 consistently. It's not too bad though but what is the strategy here, what's the point? Discard, pump, burn, which is it? and don't say all 3, cuz then its got none.

As smc1215 said, your deck needs consistency. Please post your name on the deck: Whos on the site.
I think you both missed the point. First, the deck is almost 15 years old. Second, I built it with the cards I had available. Third, it can, and did, work. Most people would take 1 from a Yotian, and almost as many would take 5 to keep their first creature out. One good hit was all it took. Power sinks and Spell Blasts were there to keep my opponent's mana tied up, the Mind Twist nuked any hand, the Rod of Ruin and The Hive were my defense against a stalled offense.
No, the point is that this deck is at most 12 years old as you have things other than alpha and beta, Second I've been playing for 12 years and I could always beat this deck even when I was just a little kid, third you should mention that it was from spare cards, fourth It will take more than one good hit, trust me, fifth this deck, being it is old, is horribly outdated. Rod of ruin is slow, the hive too, your artifact creatures are easily stopped, you won't get all 3 urza lands in time.
Power sink and spell blast aren't bad but they cost a ton of mana, mana you won't likely have when you'll need it. Plus the deck is 3 colors with only 6 producers of each color and 12 colorless lands, your land selection is for artifact only decks, sorry but it's slow. Too slow to survive now and too slow to survive then.
I'll make sure not to mark any more of my decks finished to ensure that an extremely old deck, marked as "Casual Play", that worked just fine in my area, that I didn't intend to update, but rather have a nicely formatted deck listing doesn't receive such vitriolic comments.
We're not trying to offend you, at least I'm not, but all the same if you don't make it aware that you aren't looking to improve the deck for play today then you're asking for comments to make it better, which may include some constructive comments you may not like. How can we get the point if you don't make us aware of it. Just trying to be helpful, sorry if I came off to you as offensive, but that's the part I don't like about text, you can't hear the person say things.
Also, telling randomryan and me that we missed the point then following it up with the deck is old and made of spares, didn't answer anything we asked, the part about taking 5 to keep 1st out isn't so true anymore. You have a lot of restricted cards in here and that makes it hard, since this is casual play you can up the number of those restricteds. I said in the 1st comment that the deck wasn't bad. Please learn to take criticism that is, after all, what this site is all about.
One last comment: The thing about casual play that you mentioned, in case you haven't noticed, we can't see the category the deck is in on this page, thats gotten me some crazy comments before too. No worries.
Well, the site was fun for a few days anyway. :( I've faced this deck many times and there's a point at which you gain enough experience to try and come up with creative ways of building interesting decks as opposed to 3rd turn kills. And you'd all be surprised at how quickly and effectively this thing works.
I apologize smc1215. The way I look at most decks (by person) includes the format for which the deck is made. Despite the idea of 'Casual Play', my friends and I have always played what is now referred to as 'Vintage' (Type 1). Since there is no 'Vintage' setting, I filed it under 'Casual Play'. As an aside, it is actually a 14 year old deck. All those cards were available in the fall of '94, with an investment of ~$45 and some good trading. Now to have a "No comments needed" option...
Yeah, I saw it on the new deck list so I never actually saw the type anyway. If you don't want comments you can put that in the description above, but a thing to eliminate the comment thing could be nice if you don't want them. And about the age thing, holy crap, you're right, I forgot how long ago 4th edition really was. Sorry about that.
