Magic Decklists: Update

Hi all.

Just an update to the decklists I posted on Friday: here's a link to the thread and current decklist- http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=313105 and my Standard Grixis deck is currently under re-construction, but I will post a new decklist and tournament report when I take the deck to FNM next week.

Thanks.

Magic Decklists- a new twist on Legacy BUG and a Standard budget brew!

Hi all

Two new decklists for you today- the first is one of many Legacy decks  (R/B Goblins, NO Bant, the 12-Post list I posted yesterday etc.) I have been testing recently, and this morning I have been tweaking and tuning my Blue-Green-Black Control w/Natural Order (aka 'NO BUG') list:

Legacy: NO BUG by Matt Andrews-

4 Dark Confidant
3 Phyrexian Dreadnought
3 Thoughtseize
4 Force of Will
4 Brainstorm
4 Stifle
1 Vendilion Clique

3 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Tarmogoyf
3 Go for the Throat

This next list is a budget Standard deck I have been playing with reasonable results at FNM for the past 3 weeks. This is the current incarnation of a Grixis-coloured control deck (yes I know it only runs 22 lands!) that I am calling 'Immortal Grixis' (due to the ability to use Elixir of Immortalitly multiple times during any given game):

2 Trinket Mage
3 Vampire Nighthawk

RPG of the Week: ‘Violence: The Roleplaying Game of Egregious and Repulsive Bloodshed’ by Greg Costikyan (Designer X)

In the first of what I hope to be regular articles, I’m selecting some of my favourite RPGs and some weird and wonderful games that I think you should hear about. ‘Violence’ was originally written as a gag, but apparently I’m not the only crazy guy to have played it.
