R/W Worldslayer Deck - Need Help

Dekar_Typhon · 03-01-04, 03:05

OK, I've been gone for a long time, but recently I picked up magic again, and mulled over the 2 new release expansions that have come out in my absence: Mirrodin and Darksteel. While looking over the Mirrodin Collector's Guide I saw a card called Worldslayer, and it's potentially game-breaking abilities. So, I've made a Type 1 deck with it in mind. Please review:

4 Worldslayer
4 Worldgorger Dragon
2 Mana Flare
2 Astral Slide
2 Renewed Faith
2 Anger
2 Valor
3 Goblin Bombardment
2 Electrostatic Bolt
4 Browbeat
4 Skyhunter Cub
2 Leonin Den-Guard
2 Bonesplitter
2 Leonin Scimitar

Any tips would be appreciated.

First, what does your mana base looks like? And please use tags whwn posting - an explanation can be found linked in my signature.

Then, why do you have Worldgorger Dragon in there? What shall it do? And what about Astral Slide, if you only have Renewed Faith to activate it? And what about the sub-optimal Electrostatic Bolt, which is just inferior to Lightning Bolt (which should be added to such a T1-deck)?

I really can't see how your deck should work properly....

Your deck does seem to be unfocused. You don't have any way to ensure that a Worldslayer-equipped creature hits your opponent (other than a flying Cub), or to break the symmetry of Worldslayer. You can't slide out the equipped creature in response to damage to get around it, because if the Worldslayer isn't equipped when it deals damage it won't trigger. Sure if you put the Worldslayer on a Worldgorger Dragon you'll keep your permanents, but that takes 16 mana--8 lands even with a Mana Flare in play.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe that you need two things for a deck with Worldslayer: indestructible permanents and regeneratable creatures.

4x Darksteel Ingot
4x Darksteel Citadel
2x Darksteel Gargoyle

Worldslayer is really expensive to use...

4x Vedalken Engineer

You have to hit someone with it for it to trigger...

4x Phantom Warrior

I think blue has the pieces you need for this deck to work. Add white for control elements (Wing Shards, Holy Day) and Taj-Nar Swordsmith, and you've got yourself a deck. But from where you are now, I think it's best to just start over.

if you're running mostly artifacts then you could use darksteel forge then your stuff wouldn't be destroyed, I have a deck that will use world slayer you may get an idea from that,

it's called "it the darksteel disk deck".

hope this helps
and if you go with my idea then use the artifact lands!

4 Worldslayer 4 Worldgorger Dragon 2 Mana Flare 4 Reckless Charge 2 Wave of Indifference 2 Dragon Tyrant 3 Shock 4 Browbeat 4 Skyhunter Cub 2 Leonin Den-Guard 2 Bonesplitter 2 Leonin Scimitar
