Technical Instructions
Find the \Playdeck folder in your MtG installation. Locate the .dck file for your deck and open it in a text editor (such as Notepad). Follow the Post a Comment link on this page, and Copy&Paste the contents of the .dck file into the comment.
Also, you are welcome to include the following:
- What type of deck it is. It could by Type 1, Type 1.5, Shalandar, or even just a casual deck.
- Any special notes about play; card combinations, sequence of play.
- Anecdotes about where the deck's inspiration came from are invited, though you are under no obligation to ramble on as much as I do.
Deck Contents Guidelines
The primary guideline here is to be sure to follow the rules for the type of deck that you said it was above. Type 1 decks can only have 1 of each restricted card, in Type 1.5 the restricted list is banned. Tournament quality decks are made of 60 cards, no more, no less.
Other than that I really don't have any other guidelines. In fact, it would be really nice to see some more casual decks. The ones I build are for the most part tournament style decks, built only to win. But since they are built to stand up against other decks build in that style they often have many of the same cards in common. It's those whacky "just for fun" decks, such as Old Man Wolf and Blue Skies, that are the most enjoyable to play. And if Josher (evidently sporting a crazy beard these days) hadn't sent me his Castle/Moat deck I never would have build Blue Skies.

1 Regrowth
4 Counterspell
4 Birds of Paradise
I came up with this little gem one day when I was bored. One of the good combos in the deck is every turn use Vesuvan Doppelganger to copy Triskelion. Each time you do the Doppelganger returns to having 3 counters. If you use Doppelganger on Aswan Jaguar and don't like what it hunts, re copy it on your next upkeep. There is a lot of power in having 4-5 Prodigal Sorcerers in play too :)
A fun deck to play and it wins too.

This is a prety weird deck. I usualy get down prety low on cards when i finaly win. the object is to get out an ivory tower early on before you get ur Armageddon Clock dealing increasing damage each turn. Get out several time vaults out and have them all skip on the same turn now ur oponent has a prety hard time geting rid of Armageddon Clock counters. oh and try to keep 7 cards in ur hand if u can, once i got 99 life with 4 ivory towers out. dealing out masive damage with the Armageddon Clock id just earn back the next turn. it a fun deck soo Enjoy.

I saw the Red/Green Shalandar deck you used on your frontpage, along with your building of a land destruction deck, so I sort of combined the ideas. Nafs work well in combo with land destruction, and stormseekers or other DD are enough to finish your opponent off after an early beatdown. Top-end cards like lotus can be replaced without too much loss of power if playing a more restricted format.
