In my previous Games article, The Power of Blue, I discussed making a mono-blue Magic deck. My deckmaking time was cut short after that article, and when I next had the opportunity to play it over at David’s house, I essentially had a random pile of blue cards salvaged from my previous deck. And it won. Well…it won one game. But still: random pile of cards vs. David’s lovingly crafted Red and Green deck. pretty amazing. It’s had lackluster performance since, mostly because it was down 7 cards and suffered some a severe mana crunch. Here is the updated deck list (with 7 islands added).
20 x Islands
1 x Veiled Sentry
1 x Envelop
1 x Intervene
3 x Unsummon
2 x Flight
1 x Tidal Surge
3 x Mana Leak
1 x Remove Soul
1 x Psychic Venom
1 x Errant Minion
2 x Puppeteer
1 x Rhystic Deluge
1 x Wind Drake
1 x Labyrinth Minotaur
2 x Vizzerdrix
1 x Recall
1 x Boomerang
3 x Counterspell
1 x Thalakos Seer
1 x Phantom Warrior
1 x Levitation
1 x Temporal Distortion
1 x Sunken Hope
2 x Confiscate
1 x Distorting Wake
1 x Scroll Rack
1 x Mesmeric Orb
1 x Chimeric Idol
1 x Mirror Golem
1 x Phyrexian Hulk

It really sucks.
