Any precon? Definitely Super Abundance.

In reply to Jon. The 40-card decks were inflated to 60 for their online releases, so they could simply use those ones.

Standard? Probably Battle Cries of MBS. Extended? Elvish Predation from Lorowyn (NASTY elf-token machine). Legacy (assuming Duel Decks, Premium Deck Series, and Planechase/Archenemy)? The Tezzeret deck… it may not be the best, but it's great fun to play.

If it was a pre-con battle outside of standered, I kinda see Lorwynn/Shadowmoor block decks as the best “set” decks, therefor wouldn’t choose them… and as personal preference wouldn’t go for the non-set decks either. Something a little fun to play… that has a chance of winning… I think I’d go for Planar Chaos’s “Unraveling Mind” It has precious spot removal, creature recursion, and fun little surprises thanks to the madness mechanic.

If it had to be standered though I’d go for Phyrexian Poison

In reply to Jon. I think its the other way around The 40 card decks have much easier access to their key cards... less is more in a way.

In reply to Jon. You know one of the Darksteel ones has 2 SKULLCLAMP in it? Yeah...

The problem with this theory is that the zendikar block decks have a severe disadvantage in that they are only 40 cards… plus they have nonstandard cards in them…

If I was to choose a deck though, it would have to be rise of the vampires from scars.

If I got to choose ANY precon though, it would be one of the eventide ones, hands down… most likely deathmarch, with lifedrain as a strong runner up.

It's an interesting idea. If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with M11's Blades of Victory. Maybe the myr deck from scars.

In reply to troacctid. Oh, also, the inserts sometimes recommend augmenting the deck with mythics, which should count as a smell. But now I'm just nitpicking even more. I'll shut up now.

Preconstructed decks do have mythics. They’re the flagships of the Duel Decks, remember? That and Sliver Overlord.

But I’m nitpicking, of course.
