Between these tags, give a short description of your deck. Go a step beyond basic decktype info, and tell us what makes your design unique!
--- end description ---

Island x 8
Faerie Conclave x 4
Mountain x 6
Steam Vents x 4
Ghitu Encampment x 4
Kher Keep

Arcane Laboratory x 4
Spellburst x 4

Blaze x 4
Flame Wave x 4
Bomb Squad x 4
Solar Blast x 4

Essence Fracture x 4
Primoc Escapee x 4
Counterspell x 4

Create a lock-down with Arcane Laboratory and Spellburst, some of your lands can become creatures if need be. Cycle as much as possible until you get some Bomb Squad. Begin blowing up creatures with Bomb Squad. They can’t stop it, they can’t even get any creatures in play. Deal damage as much as possible with various other spells. This deck probably stinks, but I’m experimenting.

The idea is fun (btw, I’d start with Standard Decks if I were you), however, you need an awful lot of mana to create a true lockdon (since you might have to counter/buyback twice a turn, during yours, and during theirs), and the man-lands don’t help that much. That being said, playing 30-some lands is ALSO not the way to go, a deck (beside Landstill and 42Lands.dec, from Vintage/Legacy) should only play 26 lands TOPS (and that’s REALLY tops, I’d go with 24-25). Instead, you need card drawing/tutoring, so you can get your "combo" pieces faster. Also, notice you still have to survive the other player’s assault, so you need some early counters to prevent uber-efficient creatures like Boros Swiftblade from coming into play. I’d go with a UB version, playing either the 12 Urza’d Lands or 4 Cloudpost and 4 Vesuva (to copy them), which in turn would give me access to tutoring effects, Cranial Extraction (i’d play Boseiju, Who Shelters All, as well), Duress, Cabal Therapy, Shadowmage Infiltrator and perhaps T2’s most popular "black" combo for multicolored decks, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Tendrils of Corruption. Fact or Fiction and Thirst for Knowledge are also great cards.

Cycling should help that. A lot.

I’ll take a look at surviving early hits, that’s why I run lands that can fight.

Maybe cut the excess lands for creatures?

Corvus also recommended 4x Cancel. Not sure what you thought of that.

Good for Standard, sucks in Extended, when you can simply go and play stuff like Mana Leak, Force Spike, or, OF COURSE, Counterspell.

Question, what’s the difference between Counterspell and Cancel?

UU or 1UU for the same effect. Believe me, makes a HUGE difference... Wink

Small changes. Cut 3x Mountain and 1x Island, added 4x Counterspell.

BTW, FM, just started college and I may have time for MtG. What’s that software you were telling me about?

It’s called MWS (Magic Workstation). It has every Magic card ever printed, plus, you can dowload their images (or just play with the generated proxy the system gives you).

Oh, it was extended? Shocked Well, of cource go with counter spell! And mana leak x4! Not to say a couple of rewinds as well. Indeed, add black instead. Give them some pain and good stuff like Damnation and extirpate. That would own hardcore with the lands! Use them or just keep them as lands and kil everything else with damnation!!!
