To Affinty and Beyond! -- Posted by Shane on Monday, August 30 2004

Here's my version of Affinity - Very much like everyone elses and mainly the reason I haven't played it at all. The deck I played at the tournament was missing Thoughtcast because they were in my Ironworks deck lol.. This one is what I would have played if I had the extra Thoughtcasts.

Blue
4 x Thoughtcast
2 x Somber Hovergaurd

Red
4 x Shrapnel Blast (I would now use electrostatic bolts instead)

Black
4 x Disciple of the Vault

Artifact
4 x Arcbound Worker
4 x Frogmite
4 x Cranial Plate
4 x Arcbound Ravanger
4 x Chromatic Sphere
2 x Ather Vial
2 x Ornithopter (yes it is some good)
2 x Myr Retriver (could be changed too)

Land
4 x Seat of the Synod
4 x Great Furnace
4 x Vault of Whispers
3 x Darksteel Citadel
3 x Blinkmoth Nexus (4 is too many)
2 x Glimmervoid (possibly 3 but always found 2 better for me)

S/B
3 x Mana Leak
3 x Echoing Truth
3 x Needlebug (mirror match)
2 x Atog
2 x Electrostatic Bolt
2 x Nights Whisper

All in all I would perhaps change the Blasts for bolts and maybe put 2 in the SB maybe remove the citadels and replace them with CoB instead.

But to be honest its a pretty strong deck as is.. Pehraps some more card drawing main deck instead of the Vials?
