alrighty my first theme deck i ever bought (whey back in odyssey) was pressure cooker. it was mainly a B/R burn-removal deck with threshold triggers. I was pouring over my deck inserts looking for ideas- and thought hey! this would look awesome if I can make it any better.
so heres the original decklist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pressure Cooker" original build
2 Barbarian Lunatic
1 Braids, Cabal Minion
2 Childhood Horror
1 Crypt Creeper
1 Dwarven Strike Force
1 Face of Fear
2 Famished Ghoul
1 Frightcrawler
2 Chainflinger
1 Halbardier
3 Pardic Firecat
1 Repentant Vampire
2 Engulfing Flames
2 Firebolt
3 Flame Burst
2 Ghastly Demise
1 Innocent Blood
1 Liquid Fire
2 Morbid Hunger
1 Morgue Theft
1 Reckless Charge
2 Shadowblood Egg
1 Thermal Blast
1 Bog Wreckage
2 Cabal Pit
1 Ravaged Highlands
11 Swamp
9 Mountain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
But alas, during the years since i had dismantled the deck, I had gradually traded away some of the cards- that saved me the trouble of freeing up some room.
so: - 1 crypt creeper, -1 frightcrawler, -1 repentant vampire, -1 halberdier, -2 firebolt
that left me with a total of 6 free slots, but looking at the deck, it was already too slow- I wanted to go strictly burn-removal (no reanimation, no fancy threshold)
and i ended up with :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hell's got carry-out?"
Land:22
11 Mountain
9 Swamp
2 Cabal Pit
Creatures: 20
2 Kuro's Taken
2 Infectious Host
2 Bile Urchin
4 Blood Pet
1 Akki Lavarunner
3 Pardic Firecat
4 Sparkmage Apprentice
2 Godo's Irregulars
Other Spells: 18
2 Ghastly Demise
3 Last Gasp
2 Pyromatics
3 Volcanic Hammer
2 Engulfing Flames
3 Flame Burst
2 Seal of Doom
1 Nettling Curse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did debate over to put in kuro's taken v.s. cruel deceiver-but decided on kuro because it was easier to keep on the board. thanks for reading, and please post all your comments, and fixes-i appreciate all comments.
