Copy/pasted from TMD:

Less than a year ago, Mike Long released a deck dubbed The Suicide Virus. The immediate reaction to this deck was incredulity. Most readers dismissed the deck as “a pile.” A few players tinkered with it before moving onto something else. Regardless of what people thought at the time, no major structural improvements to the deck have been published since. Since then, I have been furiously working in my secret Vintage laboratory pouring creative energies into improving this deck and today I'm set to unveil my latest creation.

Throw the deck together, play around with it and have fun. The deck is quite strong and it will test your own skills at the same time.


Anyone read this?

Here’s a decklist for reference:

APOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX

God I hope this is a humor article.

You KNOW people will be playing until they realize it blows.

@POgre, is that Steve's, or Mike Long's from a while ago?

Lightning edit: Nvm, I reread your post.

Well, apparently the list I quoted is 59 cards. Can someone tell us what the final card is?

Maybe a 4th cloud? I dunno.

No, he said you would have to read the article to find out, so it's probably his secret tech or something.

I swear. Some people.

I know what you mean. People on The Source and to a lesser extent, TMD seem to have something against me and my decks. :wtf:

Anyway, the missing card was Mana Crypt. I'll edit it into the list I quoted.

I don't actually have an account there. Any site that has spatulaoftheages as a legacy adept is................bad.

The Source is a lot like a cult. :shifty:

Lol, you pawned him with the I'm only 16 and you shouldn't as hell better not have a credit card. Go premium? Only if I get a happy ending after each article, and it better be by who wrote the article. Or they mail you free cards or something. But I'm going with the have them suck my dick option.

Nobody ever actually said the missing card was Mana Crypt. waSP made a hypothesis that it was Mana Crypt, but that was just a guess.

Also, smmenen says the full article is 18 pages, which is really kind of pathetic when you think about it!

...Why? That's kind of a lot of material and while he's not the most concise guy around, he's not prone to writing articles of pure bullshit.

Or so I believe.

Listen to this beatdown from the SCG forums:

BUNTALITY

The retardation capabilities of people amaze me........

God, no one is ever going to listen.

This deck is the biggest thing to come off the Wizo's board. Kraken, Pip, Veru and the creater NEWAGER have talked it to death. Long comes in, steals the tech, calls it his own, and then Smememememememenenenenenendian decides to go with it because he sucks long's dick on the side (see the banning release notes for burning wish and the long.dec that is featured, guess who "built" it!).

Fuck this shit. The deck is crap. We went at it at all different angles and it never amounted to anything, and that was BEFORE you had shit like pithing needle and all you had to worry about was null rod.

EDIT - You know, the more Steve talks, the more his theories show their true bullshit nature. Its like he makes up for lack of meaning with verbage.

@dralock: So lemme get this straight: newager, pip, veru designed the deck, Mike Long stole it from them, and Steve "Look at me I'm Mr. Vintage" Menendian "modified" it?

The fuck are yo talking about? I didn't even play T1 when veru and Newager designed it.

Did they call it virus :cool:

No?

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOU AINT GOT NOTHING ON LONG.

yeah...they did.

Damn, Pip beat me to the point. :embarrass:

That's what I have an especially deep loathing for, actually. The deck was a pile of shit, but it at least had a cool name. But now Semen Man and Mike Long had to steal that, too.

You should totally call them out on it.

Like, on tmd.

that would go over well. :rolleyes:

Just like that guy who wrote an article on how he invented keeper... :rolleyes:

I remember when I wanted to play this deck. Steve add's CoF and now it's great? I doubt it. Veru and newager designed it and here was their list newager sent me:

4 Disiple of the Vault
4 Myr Enforcer
3 Frogmight
4 Atog
4 Fling
4 Arcbound Ravenger
4 Arcbound Worker
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Time Walk
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Timetwiser
1 Tinker
1 Memory Jar
1 Windfall
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Demonic Consultation
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Wheel of Fortune
7 SoLoMoxen
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mana Vault
1 Mana Crypt
1 Grim Monolith
4 City of Brass
4 Glimmervoid
1 Great Furnace
1 Vault of Whispers
1 Seat of the Synod

I always wanted to see this deck run Atog and Berserk but wtf do I know?

That just about sums it up! :rolleyes:

Heh, that REALLY doesn't help the already existing "add 2-3 diff. cards and call it a new deck" stereotype of Meandeck...

Steve is now promoting Trix in Classic! :nono:

A bit late but whatever.

I said we talked it to death, but the actual design was newager as the primary and Veru as the interested badass. He has every right to be hot about it. Its crap that someone would take ravagers, combo pieces and fling and call it their own. If the basic mechanics of the deck are the same, then you need to credit the creators. Period.

It has 4 Atogs...

lol? :P

I hate Stephen Menendian! :knight

QFT.
