On 6/12/2004 Kevin Bolte, the new Prince of Sharonville (suburban Cincinnati), Ohio, held his first constructed tournament: Praxis Seizure: Sharonville. 15 players participated; and I won. Here is my winning deck: Muaziz's Emancipation Proclamation 4x Muaziz, Archon of Ulugh Beg 4x Ublo-Satha Ferox, The Rock Lord 2x Saxum, Master of Slaves Luma, Stone Beauty Academic Hunting Ground Arcane Library 6x Blood Doll Club Zombie Heidelberg Castle, Germany KRCG News Radio Powerbase: Chicago The Rumor Mill, Tabloid Newspaper Aranthebes, The Immortal 2x Armor of Terra Defender of the Haven Rampage 2x Soul of the Earth Daring the Dawn Dawn Operation 6x Freak Drive The Kiss of Ra 3x Skin of the Chameleon Ivory Bow Palatial Estate 11x Forced Awakening 4x Patrol J.S. Simmons, Esq. Jackie Therman Mr. Winthrop 3x Razor Bat 2x Stone Dog Tasha Morgan 4x Disarm Flow with the Mountain 3x Immortal Grapple 4x Indomitability 7x Pounce 3x Resilience 2x Superior Mettle 4x Torn Signpost 4x Undead Persistence (90) --------------- highlights: -Moving the retainers around with Heidelberg Castle. It can provide multiple plus bleeds, and multiple rushes with Stone Dog and Razor Bats. -Darning the Dawn and not going to torpor with Armor of Terra. -Multiple Blood Dolls on Muaziz + Disarm/Bow Gargoyle combat + Muaziz unchecked Diablerie = pool. -Evoking the Slave rule when Muaziz gets blocked. -Saying "Ublo-Satha" in Jabba the Hut voice all day long. ----------------- Thanks to Corey Brindley for some deck testing advice. Charnas the Imp should have been in the deck, but I forgot about him. Also, when Gehenna becomes legal, some of the damage prevention will change to Soak because of its synergy with Armor of Terra.
