I built this deck last fall for the PTQ in Toledo, but ended up playing a straight Red 'Sligh-smic Assault' deck instead (which served me well lol) in the tournament. The only change I made to convert it to Type 2 was the adition of the Orders - otherwise it's still all Rath Cycle.

With the new set (Mercadian Masques) coming out soon - this deck will become Extended only legal (Tempest, Stronghold, and Exodus will rotate out of Type 2) - but it should remain a good play-test deck.

It is especially great against Red and Black because of the En-Kors and protection from Black & Red creatures. The shadow creatures get through a LOT (fear Green? NOT!)- the Cataclysms give an element of control - and the Glorious Anthems pump everyone (on my side lol) up for combat.

This is a very straight-forward and highly effective deck to play. It combines speed (Blue is too s-l-o-w lol), control, and superior numbers in effective combination.
