Come on! Drop that mindset. Let&#8217;s just beat them! It&#8217;s fun and you really don&#8217;t need a big bank account to do so. Of course it&#8217;s not easy, but with the right preparation, strategy and mindset you can. But before we start to brew an Old School Budget Deck, it&#8217;s important to know what our rich buddies like to play. Old Schoolers probably already know this, but my goal is to convert Non Old Schoolers, right? So I have to go into this first, assuming the newbies already have an Old School heart but that their brain can use a little refresh in knowledge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1957\" src=\"https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2-1024x570.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2-870x484.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2-480x267.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/pizap-2.jpg 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Know Thy Rich Enemy<\/h4>\n<h5>Power Nine<\/h5>\n<p>Of course you don&#8217;t know exactly what deck the Alpha Rich Guy (ARG) is going to play, but it&#8217;s a safe assumption that he wants to play his Power Nine. Cuz, be honest, if you had them you&#8217;d probably want to play them too. Basically anyone playing a Power Nine has three key advantages that increases their chances of winning. These are\u00a0mana\u00a0advantage, card advantage, and turn advantage. And these advantages come at a very reasonable price with the Power Nine. \u00a0A cheap Mana cost, that is, not card value. Timetwister is also a very powerful reset button by the way. I assume that most of you (even Non-Old Schoolers) know all about the Power Nine. But if you want more info about why the Power Nine is considered so powerful, click <a href=\"http:\/\/agentpalmer.com\/11773\/miscellany\/old-school-magic-telling-the-power-nine-story-through-the-cards-that-have-come-since\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[scryimg]Black Lotus:Alpha[\/scryimg][scryimg]Mox Emerald:Alpha[\/scryimg][scryimg]Mox Jet:Alpha[\/scryimg]<\/p>\n<p>[scryimg]Mox Pearl:Alpha[\/scryimg][scryimg]Mox Ruby:Alpha[\/scryimg][scryimg]Mox Sapphire:Alpha[\/scryimg]<\/p>\n<p>[scryimg]Ancestral Recall:Alpha[\/scryimg][scryimg]Time Walk:Alpha[\/scryimg][scryimg]Timetwister:Alpha[\/scryimg]<\/p>\n<h5>Library of Alexandria<\/h5>\n<p>Another high value card that is played in most Old School decks is the\u00a0[scrylink]Library of Alexandria:ArabianNights[\/scrylink] . Library is commonly referred to as the 10th Power card. And it is not hard to see why. Having an uncounterable [scrylink]Howling Mine:FourthEdition[\/scrylink]\u00a0that, in a pinch, produces a mana, can overwhelm opponents in no time at all. We all know how important card advantage is in Magic. With a good amount of card advantage produced at a reasonable cost, any good deck should be able to beat any other good deck that is without the benefits of such card advantage.<\/p>\n<h5>Dual Lands<\/h5>\n<p>A last advantage our ARG has, are dual lands. As a spike he wants to play the most powerful cards. Duals in general improve your mana base, but is also makes it easier to splash powerful cards like,\u00a0[scrylink]Demonic Tutor:Revised[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Mind Twist:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Balance:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Regrowth:Revised[\/scrylink]\u00a0into your tier 1 deck. Together with cards like\u00a0[scrylink]Sol Ring:Revised[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Mishras Factory:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Strip Mine:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], [scrylink]City of Brass:Chronicles[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Lightning Bolt:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Swords to Plowshares:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], [scrylink]Disenchant:FourthEdition[\/scrylink], these are cards that see a lot of play. And all these cards are all reprinted in Revised, Fourth Edition or Chronicles so they are available at a low cost for you too.<\/p>\n<h5>Summary<\/h5>\n<p>The Alpha Rich Guy you want to beat has a superior mana base and is most probably playing a 3, 4c or sometimes even 5c deck using his moxen and a lot of dual lands. He will have more speed than you using his Power Nine to take mana and card advantage. A turn 1 Library of Alexandria is his wet dream.<\/p>\n<p>With this basis he can play any deck he wants from Aggro, Midrange, Control to Combo, doesn&#8217;t matter. He can play any card. And the spike players will of course preferably play tier 1 decks.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is there are a lot of strategies and hate cards that can support us in our quest to beat the ARG. Next week I&#8217;ll write about that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1942\" src=\"https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Timetwister-hurkylls-recall-254x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Timetwister-hurkylls-recall-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Timetwister-hurkylls-recall-480x567.jpg 480w, https:\/\/ragingbullseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Timetwister-hurkylls-recall.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the Uthden Troll Cup is already approaching (1-3 November), maybe in the meantime you can do a little homework? \u00a0Only if you like of course.
