Random Magic: The Gathering Decks

A place for me to post Magic decks for any format at any time. I may also post links to good decks or theory as I see fit. Basically, I'll post whatever I damn well feel like. Use at your own risk.

Extended Fish

This deck finished first at the Columbus PTQ I attended (and got trounced at). Another version also finished second, but I think I like this one better:

Marshall Arthurs's Blue-Red Fish
1st Place - 3/20

Land (18):
5 Mountain
4 Shivan Reef
9 Island

Creatures (21):
4 Grim Lavamancer
4 Cloud of Faeries
4 Spiketail Hatchling
3 Mogg Fanatic
3 Voidmage Prodigy
3 Flametongue Kavu

Other Spells (21):
4 AEther Vial
3 Mana Leak
3 Fire/Ice
3 Sword of Fire and Ice
2 Echoing Truth
3 Daze
3 Standstill

Sideboard (15):
3 Masticore
4 Submerge
2 Arcane Laboratory
2 Mana Maze
4 Overload

I like the options Arthurs has in his deck. However, I believe that the number of 4-ofs will have to increase post-rotation. Also, Mike Flores reports that Cloud of Faeries is the MVP of the deck according to those who run it. As the Faeries are rotating out, it will be interesting to see what works best as a replacement. I enter the deck here so I can reference it in next year's Extended season.
