Finnish Nationals 1995

Oh, nothing special here, I just found my old deck listing and published it. Deck format in '95 was type II, with only allowed expansions revised, dark and fallen empires or 4th edition, dark and fallen empries. It was not a surprise, that no one played with 4th edition...

There is not much to say about my day, I had not played magic for long and had never seen Maze of Ith before, so...


Redblack
Creatures (20)
4 Hypnotic Spectre
4 Erg Raiders
2 Will-o-Wisp (uh)
2 Sedge Troll
3 Black Knight
3 Bog Wraith (argh)
2 Order of Ebon Hand
Spells (22)
3 Bad Moon
2 Unholy Strength (duh)
1 Thrull Retainer (yuck)
4 Dark Ritual
4 Lightning Bolt
2 Fireball
2 Shatter
1 Mind Twist
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Wheel of Fortune
1 Sol Ring
Land (18)
3 Badlands
5 Mountain
10 Swamp

Sideboard:
4 REB
4 Gloom
1 Shatterstorm
2 Simulacrum
1 Bog Wraith
1 Unholy Strength
1 Shatter
1 Bad Moon
So what should have been done: get rid of all enchantments, instead add 4 Hymn to Tourachs and 2 stone rains (Maze of Ith), as I did not have any blood moons. And get rid of Will-o-Wisps and Bog Wraiths, instead more attacking creatures. And more land.

So as fast modification:
RemovedAdded  
2 Will-o-Wisp
3 Bog Wraith

2 Unholy Strength
1 Thrull Retainer
2 Shatter
1 Order of Ebon Hand
4 Hymn to Tourach
2 Sengir Vampire
2 Fireball
1 Stone Rain
2 Mountain
1 Swamp
No, I didn't possess Fork, 4th Badlands or Maze of Ith that time. If I would be playing in a tournament like that this day, I would do a multicolored black vise deck.
