In the meantime, below are the scores along with a brief comment or two from me about the deck. I didn't brake out the scores. If you want to know your break out, let me know.

15--Andy86--White-Red Control Combo--you don't need LR
16--Krakn Slayr--The Sky is Falling--...burn - you don't need LR
18.5--hells33kerd--Rock out with your Lock-Out!--you don't need LR
19--marcuzi--Bouncy Walls--I like the concept, just not the build
19--George G--No Land for You--Kind of Boring. Not a fan of the Isochron Scepter combo for this contest.
20.5--death by aggro--Zur the Enforcer--No Rancor? Almost a must for this kind of deck.
20.7--CoglineErro--Life Guide's Resources--Meh on the Sanctuary. Intense combo though…
21.7--omegaprime9774--Poised Resources--Unique deck! Kind of confusing though.
22.5--Scouter3000--Knight's Resources--Nice interactions, basic but elegant. Needs removal and draw though.
22.8--FuDaWg45--Souls of the Limited Lands--Too much wrath? Yeah! Living Planes.
22.8--HelloMyNameisTimmy--It's an LD thing--I like the strategy -- Sky Swallower for the win. Needs some tweaks though.
23.7--MasterPie--Resourceful Lock--Woah - Heightened Awareness!! Fun card choices. No Enchantress??
23.8--Gobblox--Manifest Destiny--Great deck name. Interesting card choice: Wild Research!
24--ThunderHog--Opal Resources--Cute. Replenish is an interesting choice without any sacrifice outlets. I still like it though. No Wheel of Sun & Moon to complement Energy Field?
24.1--p-chan--Unlimited Budoka--Great name. Could use some card draw…
24.4--Goldenboy--Sprout Past Your Limit--Nice. Memory Crystal not really necessary in my opinion. No card draw?
24.5--Cashew--Limited Control--I like the emphasis on control with Grand Arbiter, Hokori and a suite of cards to back them up. Emphasizes the hurt from LR.
24.7--Kinghonkey--Dru-ish--Yeah! Tutors and accerlation. Nice combo. Rude Awakening is just rude. Especially with Kamahl and Garruk.
24.9--Yezzandrix--The Noose--Love the Dispersing Orb. Love it! Nice build. Many options. Many killer combos. Cards all focus around Limited Resources which is nice. Best deck description ( and longest).
25--ALEX Ryugami--Unlimited Resources--I like this deck a lot. Trade Routes, Wheel of Sun & moon, Lorescale, Avenging Druid, Longbow… fun, fun fun! A little complex and yet simple. Could use a few tweaks, but I still like it.
25.2--Shale Warbringer--Lands Belong to Druids--Tight deck. Gilt-Lead Archdruid + Limited Resources = Evil Goodness. I like the splash for black for some additional beatdown and removal.

Congratulations to Shale for scoring the highest in the contest!!!



I hope everyone enjoyed this contest. I plan on posting the next round of this MDBC today or tomorrow.

Hey Streetz, about this rule:

I'm getting very sick of, every time we see a cool creature - or any card - so many people just go "But it dies to (random kill card X). Yes, there are answers to it. But you know what? There are answers to those answers. That's the beauty of the game. Look at a card based on its own merits, don't just think "Terror, next" or "Naturalize, next" or "Cancel, next". Cause if you think that way, then every card sucks. The game sucks. Even those answers you just listed SUCK.

GET OVER IT.




That is all.

@George: Yes, he is . But the card I love most is Plow Under ... you should play it and take a photo of your opponent's face whe he realizes he'll draw his own lands for 2 turns . By the way, how about Parallax Tide for your deck? With the scepter and enought mana, you can keep them without mana in their turn (cast parallax tide, remove all his lands, give the turn. At the end of his turn, I return the parallax tide to my hand with a copy of the boomerang ... etc )

@CoglineErro: Two things:

In any case, great combo! But as it's a long-term combo, maybe some removal would be needed to control your oponent.

Whoops, fixed. As far as removal, GWU isn't exactly the haven of removal, but without lands, my flyer ought to be able to pull out the victory. I might put in some enchantment hate for Worship or Grave Pact type decks, WAIT idea!

Black Vise is OK in a deck as long as there isn't more than 1. Consider that card restricted for the contest.

I was about to propose George the use of Ebony Owl Netsuke, but well, never mind

Re: June 2009 - MDV Deckbuilding Contest! 'Be Resourceful..." [Discussion Thread]

I saw the thread on the main forum page, and wondered who I was going to have to slap around for randomly starting a contest in the official contests page - then I saw it was Streetz so instead of getting the mod-hammer ready, I started reading.

Count this Hog in!
