Loam-a-burst

[Jak]

Well people were trying to find a way to break the new cards. A lot of people were alking about loam with replentish, so I thought I would post my list. I think of Replentish as a more of a control combo card. It is fragile when you try to build the deck around it when it costs so much. So dredge helps out in getting the cards in the yard. Well then Loam-a-burst would be an okay start to a deck.

Cards I think would be good for the deck:

Loam
Replenish
Combo cards (2 of each I guess)
Duress
Hymn
Small Pox
Devasating Dreams
Cycle Lands (Around 8)
Nostalgic Dreams
Burning Wish
Confinement???
Squee???

I don't know, some things like that. The BIG issue is the manabase would be terrible. 4 colors and a ton are BB or RR or GG. So probably cut a color. Black or Red. Probably Red. So any suggestions on a list would be great. Here is mine.

GBw Loam-a-Burst

Lands
3 Savannah
4 Bayou
1 Scrubland
4 Windsept Heath
2 Wooded Foothills
3 Forest
1 Swamp
1 Plains

Win
4 Replenish
3 Pandemonium
3 Saporling Burst

Draw/Dredge
4 Life From the Loam
2 Tranquil Thicket
2 Barren Moor
2 Secluded Steppe

Control
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Duress
4 Smallpox
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Solitary Confinement
2 Squee

Recursion
3 Nastalgic Dreams

I guess that would be close to a build I would run. There are way too many cards. 64, but it is a rough list and not tested. I think it would make a good idea, even if the list I posted was crap :cool: . Thoughts?

Actually, just me.

I'll start testing with your list tomorrow night(when I get off work) and go from there. I'm horrible at lists.

However, I do think a Seismic Assault is good as Alt-win.

This deck just seems fun as hell, in theory.

[Brushwagg]

A couple of things.

1. How is Dredge a better way of finding the combo then Intution?

2. If you do go this way then I would add in some more Dredge cards.

3. I agree with the Seismic Assault idea. Might be interesting.

[laststepdown]

Well, I've been playing Ichorid and Dredge in extended/type2 for about a year now. Consider me obscessed with the Mechanic.
I consider dredge better than Inuition because it's uncounterable. Obviously, it's more prone to grave hate. It's not as much of a 'build a tier 1 deck' to me as 'here's a mental experiment.'

This also opens up what other enchantments are worth running. SoCo, yes. Assault, yes. Pandeburst, yes. Am I missing anything? Maybe Ivory Mask?

[Jak]

Okay I have been brainstorming some lists. Here is the list that I think has the most potential.

Lands 24
3 Savannah
4 Bayou
1 Scrubland
4 Windsept Heath
2 Wooded Foothills
2 Forest
1 Swamp
1 Plains
2 Boseiju, Who Shelters All
2 Tranquil Thicket
1 Barren Moor
1 Secluded Steppe

Win 9
4 Replenish
2 Pandemonium
2 Saporling Burst
1 Seismic Assault

Dredge/Recursion 11
4 Life From the Loam
3 Golgari, Grave Troll
4 Nostalgic Dreams

Control 17
4 Duress
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Smallpox
4 Solitary Confinement
1 Squee

SB
2 Tabernacle
4 Pernicious Deed
4 Engineered Plague
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 ???

How would this be? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Is Nostalgic Dreams really better than say, 1 Volrath's Stronghold, 1 E Witness, 1 Pernicious Deed, 1 Genesis?

[Jak]

Well I like Nostalgic because of the ability to grab Replenish, but also the discard that was dredged or played already. I do like the idea of Stronghold and Witness. Deed would also be good too. They would help get dreams back from dredged or just getting replenish. I don't know what I would take out though.

So I like Nostalgic because it is stronger versus decks with disruption.
