Deck Description

I wanted to make this deck for a long time, so I decided to try it out here first. The main idea of this deck is to use cards that make your opponent squirm for a decision...Should I or Shouldn't I?

While it can be a classic burn style deck i find it more fun to simply crush my opponents by choice, Destroy a land or let a 6/6 Shivian Wumpus hit the field for only four mana?

Take six damage or loose the top 6 cards of my library which could be what i need because of Book Burning?

On top of all these choices i brought along War Elemental to make the choices more fun ^-^, Take let me draw 3 cards from Browbeat or take 5 Damage and pump my War Elemental up +5/+5?

A fun idea in my opinion, the side deck was for another idea of mine where i make an opponent choose but this time between cards like Loose half my life or give him another turn? Or the worst of them all

Pick a number, now i can either have you loose that much life or leave you with that many permanents on the field thanks to Choice of Damnation's.

Im hoping for posetive feedback, and any ideas on making it run smoother would be great, i think i may have too much mana. Please no comments like "this deck sucks" or "i could beat it", help is greatly appreciated. Thanks all in advance and keep up the good work.

Deck discussion for Deal or No Deal?

I really like the concept you have going here. Very cool, and it looks like a blast to play. I think it looks pretty good the way it is. The only thing I could pick out is that until you get a creature out (3rd turn is your earliest with the War Elemental, and then you wouldn't be able to pump it at all), you're going to be fairly vulnerable to really fast decks (even with the Blazing Salvo to help). I don't know of anything that would fit all that well into a 1-2 mana cost slot off hand, but I'm sure there will be some other ideas. You probably only need about 18 lands for this deck, but then again, you can't really tell until you play it a bit.

very interesting layout you have here.
I would actually have to play against it to get a good grasp of which to rate it on.
but good deck all around.

The thing is, giving your opponent descions, they will ALWAYS pick the one that disbenifits you more than them. Its like the cards Library of Lat-Nam and Dash Hopes, they look cool, but your opponent never picks the ability you want.

I like the deck. Looks like fun.

In regards to the previous comment: With this deck, There is not a single bad decision for you the opponent can make. They will either take damage or lose a land. If they don't, fine, I will draw three cards, play this monster creature, counter your spell or kill your creature. Fine with me! Oh, you want to just take the damage? Sounds good to me, take 6 damage for only 3 mana.

Do you gain from book burning often. Taking a mill for 6 isn't usually too bad if they just stay in the graveyard for a time. I think a mogg fanatic first turn pull, second turn swing, third turn threatening swing, and chump block would be more helpful. Figure pf Destiny doesn't have the choice theme for your opponent, buts it's good here for obvious reasons, too, since you have a good amount of land. I can also suggest fireblast the same way, but it is again not too much of a gamble for your opponent.

these kind of decks are so much fun, no comments except maybe a non-choice creature so you can have somehting stick against a life gain deck, also stigma lasher could really help
