it’s a nice surprise to see the number of hits we get from people who search for Marit Lage (there, another hit for us). and even better news is that we are the first site that appears when you google search Marit Lage!
in order to further drive traffic to this site, let’s have a little “submit-your-marit-lage-themed-deck” contest! the best 3 decks we choose to feature on this blog wins…2 packets of shards of alara boosters (or shopping vouchers from a gaming site) yes yes, i know that’s cheap but considering that we are doing it in the name of fun (without any advertisers and/or sponsors), its the best we can do.
some ground rules to keep the contest fun (and friendly):
- all decks have to be MARIT LAGE-themed, meaning, the whole deck has to revolve around her.
- it does not have to be a killer deck, we are looking for fun and flavour
- extra points for being creative/out of the box and affordable
- deadline would be a week from now – midnight of wednesday, 22nd of august
- you can either post your entry as a comment, or send it to themagicflunkies @ gmail.com
that’s about as many rules as i can come up with. hopefully this contest idea kicks off and we can do it regularly! who can say no to free boosters anyway, right? looking forward to see what you guys can come up with!
Posting this in case you didn’t get my E-mail!
I built a WU deck revolving around Marit Lage (duh). The deck is all about stopping your opponent in his tracks while waiting for MArit Lage to surface. Combos are pretty easy to preform here, making a fight against another counter deck or burn deck very long and fun (tested). And I only added in one combo that can pretty much win you the game. Here is the deck:
