Seismic Hunt (be careful when you say that), a budget deck for Extended

Seismic Assualt x4
Treasure Hunt x4
Mountain x39
Island x13

No really, that's it. $10, and you can wreck someones day at a PTQ in the near future.

That's all you need. It goes off pretty consistently, often by turn 4, and almost always by turn 5.It really doesn't benefit from a sideboard. The deck is truly too simple to deal with board adjustments.

What it can deal with, is adjustments to the land base. I intended this to be an ultimate budget example, and it works pretty well with just basic lands. If you do have more resources, then go for the gusto. Honestly though, it doesn't greatly improve the consistency. Here is some things to consider;

Manlands (particularly the red one)
RU shocklands
RU painlands
RU fetchlands
Cascade Bluffs
Crumbling Necropolis
Reliquary Tower
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle

and Now for Something Completely Different

Well, maybe not completely different. I often use this platform to talk about something I've heard related to Magic the Gathering . Today I'm going to talk about something I have heard more and more. Sometimes in life, media, and imagination somethings take on a life of their own, becoming more then sum of their parts, and reaching beyond the scope and measure of the seed thought which spawned them. Recently it has come to my attention that something as simple as a color, has done just that. We've come together today through the force and will of pink . For a year now this simple blending of red and white has brought people together from all across the globe, inspired and renewed friendships, shared hopes, dreams, and passions of individuals. It has in some small but measurable way, changed the world, and the people in it. I have thought that I was beyond the scope of this phenomenon, as beyond an impressive collection of scars, I really have nothing pink in my life. Let...

Happy 3rd Birthday to Pink Saturday!

Grim Tidings #26: Flip-Flop

I think the majority of magic articles I write aren't very helpful. For the most part are a stream of self-congratulatory praise of how great my proven decks are. Sure, my cutting sarcasm and wit occasionally generate a chuckle (I still love the Chaos Orb piece) but for the most part, I they all smoosh together into a long wordy rant of why I think this-or-that card is so great and why you should play it too. It’s my own fault. I pretend that everyone who reads my ramblings knows who I am, and has the same preference in play style. I assume everyone plays Casual-Competitive Magic, that they all play 300 card 5-Color decks, highlander style, and they have access to all 10,000+ cards to randomly insert in Deck XYZ at any moment’s notice. Obviously this is untrue. The root of the problem may lie in my core deck: “First Reminder”. I gush on and on about this deck, partly to brag on my collection, and partly to show-off my self-proclaimed cleverness. The deck has gained notoriety (for w...
