Cardsmith2017 Deck Challenge (Circuit Challenge)

About half a year ago, I started a project named Cardsmith2017set. The concept of it is to make a community core set that we can share our custom cards. I gathered many cards/ideas from many cardsmiths, and put them into the set. Now, with much help from amazing cardsmiths, the set is finally finished!

In this circuit challenge, I want you to make incredible decks using the cards in the Cardsmith2017set.

[ALL CARDS]
[White] , [Blue] , [Black] , [Red] , [Green] , [Hybrid] , [Multicolored] , [Artifact] , [Land]

The rule
- Below are 5 deck type selections. You may submit one deck for each type. (5 entries maximum)
[1- Aggro]
[2- Midrange]
[3- Control]
[4- Combo]
[5- Anything you like]
- A deck must have 60 cards in main, and at most 15 sideboard cards.
- You may edit your deck until the end of the challenge.
- I have three secret decks. (Aggro, midrange, control.) I play your deck against those decks, and use the results to decide the winners of this challenge. But you can also get bonus points for creativity.



The Circuit Points
Each deck type has three winners.
1st place for each deck type get one point.
2nd place for each deck type get half a point.
3rd place for each deck type get a quarter point.

Dead line: March 8

  • I don't actually know if a real infinite combo is real in the CS17 set. Most of the cards (Including all of my own) appear to just be value engines and removal...

    There probably is one that I am missing though XD.
  • @KrampisZman

    If the deck use the interaction of two or more cards to create a powerful effect, it counts as a combo deck in this challenge! XD It doesn't have to be an infinite!

    "Admonishment" is wrong name. It's "Admonishing". Sorry about that!
    If the card name is wrong, we can't search it in Untap.in

  • I'm playing with Latinas!
  • My deck building skills aren't nearly as good as these...

    I think I'll still join and try...
  • @Tomigon

    Mind if I borrow your set and make something like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90843087/Iamur.pdf
  • edited February 2017
    @TrippleBoggey3
    Sure! That's cool!
  • Sorry @everyone. I decided to ban Snowbreath Dragon.
    http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/snowbreath-dragon-3?list=set&set=12382
    It just becomes too annoying and unfun if it's played with some other cards in this set.

    I'll replace it with something new tomorrow.

    Sorry @Corwinnn X(
  • @Tomigon - That's fine with me, it was a late addition.
    XD
  • edited February 2017
    These cards are changed:

    -Out
    Snowbreath Dragon (Blue)
    -In
    Snow Faerie (Blue)

    -Out
    Release the Plague (Black)
    -In
    Contaminated Cloud (Black)

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

    Btw, in Untap.in, if you use copy&paste to build a deck, sometimes other card games' cards show up. And sometimes basic lands' images don't appear. If those happen, you have to change your card manually:
    Type card's name in [Find card], and click search. If you find the card you want, drag it to your deck list. Then edit the number of cards.

    Also I might forgot to add some cards. if you can't find the card, let me know!

    This is a very cruel control deck. Do we need to post sideboards?

  • edited February 2017
    @Gelectrode
    Looks very cool. I'm looking forward to test it!
    Sidebord is optional. But I use three decks to test your deck, and they are totally different decks.
  • I'm trying (likely in vain) to find an infinite combo, but haven't found one...yet.
  • @KJMartin
    Awesome! I'm trying to find an infinite combo too! XD


    -------------
    Sorry again X( After some play testing(I didn't play your decks yet), I decided to change these cards.

    -Out
    Katrite, the Auroramancer (Blue)
    -In
    Katrite, Aurora Weaver (Blue)

    -Out
    Bale, the Pyrocultist (Red)
    -In
    Bale, Flamespeaker (Red)

    -Out
    Charged Bolt (Red)
    -In
    Piercing Bolt (Red)


    Currently only Katrite is used by @Corwinnn and @Gelectrode
    New version is this:
    http://mtgcardsmith.com/view/katrite-aurora-weaver-1
    Sorry, there's no bounce ability on it anymore. But in play testing, it wasn't used so much. Please check out whether your deck still works or not. And don't forget to edit your deck if you do play test.
    Sorry about that!
  • @Tomigon, I have just edited my deck list. In all honesty, I like the new card much less. For me, protection is very important for planeswalkers, and scrying 2 every turn won't help me much in protecting my planeswalker. I just added more utility in my decklist.

    Mono-green Stompy (probably aggressive midrange)
    This deck would look to utilize Sachi, Quicksummoner to create huge beaters or to synergize with value creatures like Vinethrasher or Enraged Squirrel.

    Main Deck
    1 Turntimber Priest
    4 Barkskin Dryad
    4 Immense Vegetation
    3 Bearcub Druid
    1 Two-Headed Scourge
    3 Ooze Assassin
    2 Spread the Seeds
    4 Ravine Troll
    4 Sachi, Quicksummoner
    4 Pelakka Imperiosaur
    4 Vinethrasher
    2 Enraged Squirrel
    2 Krystyn, the Twigg of Life
    22 Forest

    Sideboard
    2 Aspect of Vines
    4 Fracturing Slice
    2 Lurker of the Depth
    2 Wingeater Hydra
    2 Centaur Elite Archer
    2 Child of Eternal Earth
    1 Call Upon the Ancient Guardian

    @Tomigon Any chance we can playtest these decks ourselves? Should we just connect with another 'smith on the forums?

    Thanks for your entries everyone!

    @Gelectrode
    Sorry! X(
    I tested old version many times in WU control, but it was too hard to kill. So I had to make it less powerful. New version's [+1] becomes weaker, but considering its [-1] ability, it should be just for charing its loyalty. But it's not bad with mill effect.
    Edited: Tested the new version. It's still very good!


    @DomriKade
    You have found some good synergies!
    Yeah, I want to play too! But there's time difference. I'll send message to you!

  • @Tomigon
    I don't think the cards are playable on untap.in
