Pretty straightforward.  Most PVP1 decks can't deal with Neurotoxin except to outrush it, and it's hard to outrush this deck, period.

Questionable title, but you're known for being bold Ess. Nice deck.

[wavedash]

Questionable how?

Nice deck, though it looks a bit Time-heavy.

questionable because google search provide this result :-

Resolved Question
Why is Israel known as "Miracle in the Desert"?
Best Answer
Because the Jews are the only peoples who can turn a desert into an oasis. Desert was all there was to that land until the Israli's cultivated it and made it flourish.

why it was titled Islam: Miracle in the Desert --  the PVP1 Mujahideen

just 'Miracle in the Desert' would suffice but instead you went with that, any reason why?


similar case:
let say someone posted a deck with 2 lava destroyers, a couple of PUs, momentums, plated armors and name it 9/11 - Twin Destroyers
i'm pretty sure some might be offended by it

theres no reason using controversial name other than just to gain a bit more attention

Though I agree with your points, the simple fact remains that, simply, this is the internet, and as such, someone, somewhere, will be offended by almost anything, and the vast majority of people won't care, and in the end, nothing will happen.

Now, about the deck, I find it increadibly nasty for PvP1. Is there a way to make this work without Miracles? I want to use it on my newbie account. XD

I'll stay silent on the title but I love the deck... I find dune scorpions and miracles to be a perfect match!

I would have to agree with this.

About the deck, I haven't tested this yet but I think this deck could consumed a lot of TIME - i.e. it will be a long fight and maybe not enough .

haha, this just made my day^^
well spoken Uncle Jellyfish.


the deck:
i was first thought was: this needs more rewind!

but i see they would be a bit hard to implement here.
except you would replace the miracles and getting more time pillars.

[guy_fawkes]

i tried this deck and found myself low on pillars all the times...
so i switched one blessing and one scorpion for +2 light pendulums

i need more testing tho
but i like the idea!

In that case, you guys shouldn't be giving this thread more attention.

Huh -- I've never heard of 'miracle in the desert' refering to Israel.  Fact is, the land that Israel occupies isn't marked as a desert on any world map I can find.

And for the record, there are several other peoples who have turned deserts into oaises, so whoever wrote that Yahoo Answer is sadly mistaken.

[kobisjeruk]

this is completely off topic but my theory is that the yahoo answer probably stems from israel => jews => jewish monopoly in economy
so it was a metaphor rather than a literal translation

i am not racist by any means nor an extremist (not even slightly 'sensitive')
i just dont see the point of including 1) a religion, 2) a misunderstood title within the religion that often associated with terrorism (wrongfully i might add), in a deck title of an online card game that has nothing to do with either

thats all
