    Combo deck poll

    Love playing those combo/combo type decks? Seeing those combo decks go off? Or anything in between? Whether it's a combo engine just trying to cast one card under the right conditions (Like storm decks) a 2 card combo that just obliterates (Like painter's servant + grindstone) putting stuff into the graveyard (Reanimator, dredge type decks) or just trying to cheat a bomb into play (Like Sneak attack / Show & tell setups) or whatever else in between! If you'd like to explain why, make a post in addition to answering the poll (The poll will remain open for the summer, closing during the second half of september, giving all those that just might be reading this 2 months on down the line a chance to go "O hey I want to vote!")

    Pic your favorite combo -or- combo'ish deck you enjoy the most seeing "go off" (Whether you're playing it yourself, watching a match between 2 other players, or even about to die to the combo yourself)

    The Candidates are:
    Spanish inquisition
    Ad Nauseam Tendrils
    Hive mind
    The Epic Storm
    Belcher
    Spiral tide
    Combo elves
    Dredge
    Sneak & show
    Painter's stone (Either U/R -or- Red)

    (It only let me do 10, but I know there are more combo's in the HUGE cardpool that is type 1.5/legacy. If you play something that isn't an option here, forgive me, I tried to put up what are the "true'er" combo decks, & the most common/well known/has more results, etc)

    & just in case you're wondering, yes I voted for high tide.

    SI is imo the most crazy one to see, as there is so many right and wrong ways to go of.

    I feel like it would have been more appropriate to list it as "High Tide" combo rather than Spiral Tide. For instance, I enjoy Solidarity yet don't find Spiral Tide that interesting.

    Honestly I'd lump ANT and TES. They're play styles aren't much different, those TES is obviously way cooler.

    I voted Dredge as the least obnoxious combo deck on the list to be sitting across. I would have voted for Doomsday, because more often than not - it's /tank for 5 min/ Stack 5 cards, draw a card... FUCKKK. I lose.

    Re: Combo deck poll

    I know it only let me do 10 decks! I am trying to fix it, but there doesn't seem to be an option there, so I looked at just closing the forum thread and deleting it, and just making a new one, but I can't do that either because there's no option to "close thread"!

    Re: Combo deck poll

    Perhaps a better way to do larger polls would be to just have an input so you can actually type a card name. The mods could sort through the poll results for misspelling, etc. rather quickly and just tally shit up on the poll itself. Granted, you'd probably get a lot of people trolling Stuffy Doll and whatever but then you could also have more control over finding out what people actually think should be banned without having to read massive text walls or entire threads.

    Also, I can't imagine that SI won't win this thread. And I'm sure nobody will expect it to until it does. I mean, what other deck do you know of that's badass enough to have its own Monty Python skit? By the way... best ring tone ever.

    Re: Combo deck poll

    I voted Sneak and Show because when I'm sitting across from it, it generally resolves 1 combo spell and 1-2 permanents, unlike Storm based decks and Dredge that involve a chain of spells/triggers.

    I do like being seated across from Dredge and Reanimator game 2 & 3 though with some means to interact.

    PSI, because I love the look on my opponents' faces when they read my cards--especially Odious Trow.

    I'd vote for Doomsday because when I was playing Lands, I once killed them with Cephalid Coliseum.

    Re: Combo deck poll

    Glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks SI is quite the feat.

    But who picked Sneak & Show?!?
    Cast Show and Tell.
    Players each put a card on the table.
    My card was better than yours!
    ^This is fun to watch? Might as well go play battle.

    +1 for SI. I would have voted for Doomsday though.

    Apparently you can click on the numbers to see how people voted. Pretty sick.

    I love playing TES, but I voted for Spanish Inquisition, because it's the most entertaining deck to watch going off.

    None of the Combo's I would pick are on this poll. Solidarity, Doomsday, Prosbloom and Mossnaught Dracoplasm in that order.
