From a reliable source, beside having a hand in the selection of 5th ed
cards. AF Poroill's are now playing type II and wins every tourney he's in
with his new Phyresian Madness deck.

contains things like

Phyrexian Marauder
Phyrexian Devourer
Phyrexian Walker
Phyrexian Tribute
Phyrexian Portal
Phyrexian Vault

There are more of it but i cant remember, anyone know? or do anyone
remember our beloved AF Poroills anymore?

later,
KEnneth

Oh geez, it's hard to believe it has been a whole year since AF Poroill
hit the scene with his walking garbage deck. I'm assuming his new deck
beat the old one in playtesting everytime, since it seems cards are
becoming weaker all the time...

After a brief span as a Type I master, A.F. Poroillis retreated from the
spotlight for several months, frantically designing his next trend-setting
deck. Months and months of research during the 'summer of Necro' and
'Winter of Orb' led him to a stunning breakthrough in Type II deck design.
Fully intended for 5th edition Type II play, the deck is amazing in scope
and powers. Here is the deck, as given to me on a scrap of napkin
somewhat smeared with juices from a delicious 99 cent whopper, along with
his comments:

A.F. Poroills Type II: Electric Bugaloo

20 Creatures
------------
4 Labyrinth Minotaur 4 casting-cost 1/4 for creature control!
4 Bog Imp 2 casting-cost 1/1 flyer!
4 Aurochs 4 casting-cost 2/3 trampling! Amazing!
4 Bird Maidens 3cc flyers, can't believe still in T2!
4 Hipparion 2 casting-cost 1/3 - better than Squire!

20 Spells
---------
4 Updraft Amazing, any creature can be a flyer!
4 Funeral March Anti-creature, 2-for-1 card advantage!
4 Carapace Boosts up the strength of your creatures!
4 Panic Eliminate blockers! Draw cards! Win!
4 Heal Damage-prevention AND card advantage!

20 Land
-------
2 Plains
2 Mountain
2 Forest
2 Island
2 Swamp
1 Sand Silos Store up mana for playing lots of creatures!
1 Hollow Trees
1 Dwarven Hold
1 Icatian Store
1 Bottomless Vault
1 Sylveunite Temple Quick boost of mana for late-game victories!
1 Dwarven Ruins
1 Ruins of Trokair
1 Ebon Stronghold
1 Havenwood Battleground

Here are some of Poroillis' comments as he explained the deck to me:

"I really think that this deck is stronger than my former Type II deck,
which was based around a Necropotence-Hymn-Disk-Hypnotic Specter concept.
The way all of the creatures interact forms a much more cohesive force
than presented by the knights found in the Necropotence design."

"Yes, the 5th edition cardlist did affect some of my last-minute choices,
although it's a trade secret which MI, VI, and AL cards were replaced with
more powerful fifth-edition counterparts."

"I don't want to start a new trend or anything, because I feel that
copying decks off the internet is just plain wrong. However, if anyone
happens to need a deck for an upcoming tournament, Poroills really has a
nice ring to it."

"Good luck and happy gaming."

The editor would like to point out that Mr. Poroills has not, as rumoured,
joined the WotC design team. Nor does he ever plan to quit playing Magic
as a professional sport and get a real job such as that one.
