astieman Member	posted March 05, 2011 05:19 PM Anyone have an opinion what creatures should I have in my Sneak attack deck?
implode Member	posted March 07, 2011 02:50 PM I would use a bunch of CIP affects--like cards with echo.
Sovarius Member	posted March 07, 2011 05:21 PM Wasn't there just a thread about this? Hrrmmm Progenitus, Nicol Bolas, Penumbra Wurm, Blightsteel Colossus, Emrakul, Woodfall Primus. __________________ If you can make/print proxies, i will trade for them.

Sovarius Member	posted March 07, 2011 05:48 PM Errr the one that already has haste and costs less than Sneak Attack anyway and is sacked at end of turn anyhow?? :p You want something with a cool effect, Ball does nothing. Dragon Tyrant is good for tramply beats. Or Hellkite Overlord for the pumpsies. __________________ If you can make/print proxies, i will trade for them. Also looking for Microprose MTG computer game.

MeddlingMage Member	posted March 07, 2011 05:51 PM That's why it's good for it. If you're playing Sneak Attack you already are going to have it in play. Then pay r (instead of rrr) for the Ball, which has the same endgame as a card Sneak Attacked in. So yeah...that one. ~MM __________________ I am MeddlingMage...YOUR Motl Survivor 11 Champion, 2007 Captain N award winner, 2010 Marlboro award winner.

WestWycke Member	posted March 07, 2011 08:04 PM If you're willing to look at something slightly off the norm, try Djinn Illuminatus and include some 1 mana burn spells. For a real surprise, maybe add a singleton Daring Apprentice. Nothing says WTF like "Tap for red, counter your spell". __________________ "If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the other 3% ?" "I intend to live forever. So far, so good."

Volcanon Member	posted March 08, 2011 10:48 AM Blightsteel is a one hit win.
Skwirlnutz Member	posted March 09, 2011 01:50 PM This is my Sneak Attack deck: //Creatures: 4 Kilnmouth Dragon 4 Kokusho, The Evening Star 4 Dragon Mage 4 Bladewing The Risen 4 Bogardan Hellkite //Sorceries: 4 Rite Of Flame //Instants: 4 Enlightened Tutor 4 Seething Song //Enchantments: 4 Sneak Attack //Artifacts: 4 Sensei's Divining Top //Lands: 4 Ancient Tomb 4 Sandstone Needle 4 Battlefield forge 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Mountain I've had it forever and it's so fun. I don't/won't make much changes to it, I love how it is and the flavor of it. I could add Darksteel/Blightsteel Colossus' and Eldrazi but I don't think it would be as much fun. __________________ Φ Phyrexia FTW! Φ
jasonost Member	posted March 09, 2011 09:19 PM Protip: Emrakul is by far the best target for Sneak attack. if you can get him on the table, he'll wipe their board and buy you enough time to find another threat to finish them with. that being said, Ulamog is another good, removal-resilient target. Also, he'll wipe their board in a way similiar to emrakul, but he won't dodge things like swords or path, so he isn't quite as good. some other possible targets could be blightsteel collosus or progenitus. However, I don't like blightsteel because if your opponent can block a few points of trample damage, he won't win the game out of nowhere like the way that emrakul or ulamog will. If you want to play progenitus, then you should just switch to natural order and call it a day. So in other words, if you thought that Emrakuls were the best sneak attack targets, then yes, you'd be right. if you want to put this deck together, I'd also highly reccomend splashing blue for show and tell, force of will, and daze. s&t is usually just sneak attack 5-8, but can really help if they're boading in 2 or 3 krosan grips in game 2. just try not to play them in the mirror.

Protip: Protip is always used facetiously. It comes from some stupid magazine that said it was a "protip" to kill a demon in Doom the only way you could actually kill said demon.
