[Complete List] Pro Tourney 1 - Decks
Stoehr Ekachack Sukachevin
Someone asked me for the composition of the eight NYC PT1 decks &
sideboards, so I thought I'd also post the list here. I'm typing the
cards from the info obtained in the collector's set.

now that we've been playing with our protour decks a bit,
with some decks I seem to play ok,
with others I always get creamed against certain decks.
was wondering which decks people have been
thinking were esp strong/weak
skill is admittedly a large part of it,
took me a few games to get the hang of some decks.
JEN

Mine is definitely the strongest:)
Hammer
JAMES ALLEN
Personally, I think Leon Lindbacks deck was the strongest. It looks like Bertrand just
got incredibly lucky in defeating it. I'm sure it would have ripped that Hammer guy's
deck to peices ;-)

My views on the eight decks:
Hammer - good deck. rarely loses, even on just OK draws
Lindback - it's necro. as long as it has swamps, it does well
Poulter - the best of the decks containing any green cards.
Tam - fun deck to play, many different cards in it. does OK
Loconto - he won the PT1, but it's not the best of the 8
Baxter - simple, but effective. brute power wins many games quickly
Lestree - he's a good player, I like the other green decks better
Justice - most original of the 8. those 2 missing cards should have
been Wraths, instead of incinerates. has problems early.
Anyone else's comments?
Majesk
In terms of overall best deck, I'd have to say Hammer's or Justice's.
Lindback needed the disks in the main deck (what was he thinking??), and
necro just bothers me anyway. :-) It could have run over Hammer, most
likely, but it was way too mana intensive (4 drains? & a soul burn?) to
fare well against the armageddon decks. Justice's deck was awesome, and
Hammer's would be better w/ sideboard work. Overall great deck (and great
player, even though I smashed him around today . . . heh, heh, heh. Sure
it was just the land taxes, Hammer. :-)

Master of the Trike Deck
Dan Hörning
Actually, I have to defend Leon's deck as I was one of the three people
who built it (the third guy was Thomas Andersson who played the same
deck and reached top 16 in New York).
There are two disks in the main deck in the Swedish necrodeck and two
disks are always sideboarded in. There is a reason. In the first game,
the things you really want to disk are not there! The disks are mainly
for Karma, COP: Black, Whirlings etc. In the first game Disks often
become useless rubbish as you have the superiority anyway. But you
need them in the second and following game.
I have to confess, though, that we have started playing three disks in
the main deck as anti-necro decks are rather common nowadays.
Another reason for two disks in the main deck was to give space for
the Serrated Arrows (2 in main deck still).
Dan Horning
Swedish MTG Champion 1995 (beat Leon Lindback in the final. However - this
year our fourth team member, Marcus Holm, couldn't stop Leon and so he
is the Swedish MTG Champion 1996... Thomas Andersson won the type 1
championship - we four have won all major MTG tournaments this year
except one and there is about 1000 active players...)
DannyOM
My brother and I have been playing with the pro-tour 1 decks extensively,
and Leon's deck is by far the most consistent winner. We have traded
decks and tried different sideboarding strategies often, and the
necropotence deck almost always emerges victorious. You guys did a really
nice job...especially with the choices of chronicles (except maybe the
city of brass...it should have been starting instead of one swamp...it'll
always just get stripped!).
Dan :-)
JAMES ALLEN
Dan, all I can say is that you 4 are not going to be well liked by the other 996 players
in Sweden if you keep this up ;-)
Majesk
Hey, what can I say? He didn't check the deck . . . I could have been
playing with 10 taxes . . . then again, he would have noticed the 5 or so
times he capped me . . . :-) Hmm . . . i guess that's not a feasible idea
after all. Hammer's smashed me around enough, I should have some sort of
right to beat him or something . . . Anyway, I was talking about how I
thought his deck rocked anyway. So much for picking on him, huh Jim? :-)
Also . . . WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU GUYS CALL ME JAMIE?!?!?! I just don't
understand . . .
MAJESK
aka Brian Kibler
NOT Jamie
JAMES ALLEN
That's it Jamie, you're gonna get slapped around by me! Picking on my buddy like that,
playing with 6 landtaxes, etc, etc. ;-)
Listen, Hammer is in a bad enough mood without you making more unpleasent!

Probably the most evil of the decks (and hence the best) is
Justice's. I think he gave so much thought into his deck, and every card
there is for a reason, and was never overlooked. Right down to Eron the
Relentless in his sideboard -- he never wasted a slot.
Second I think is Poulter's... plain and simple. It's just an
awsome deck.
Last, I have to go with Loco's. Sorry, but he won by accident =)

Wow, that was a pretty big accident he had. Wish I were as clumsy as he
is.

I just let you smash me around the other day to build your confidence
so you'll start playing for ante you little punk. And I don't care
what you say, your name is Jamie. In all honesty, before PT1 I hadn't
realized the power of serrated aarows. If I had a clue back then I
would have taken out my Sea Sprite, Truce, and two Memory Lapses.
They never got sideboarded in anyway. I didn't play Leon, but he
most likely would have beaten me. Justice's deck would have had prob-
lems against mine. His deck also had zero enchantment control. Not
good. Stormbind definitely hurts alot. Just my opinion though.
Hammer
