I can't make Lord Voldemort work. Yes. This post is about Magic, but why not include a few fantastic elements. Here's the list:
VOLDY.DECK (v1.3)
Lands (24)
4 Marsh Flats
4 Mystifying Maze
15 Swamp
4 Verdant Catacombs
Creatures (14)
3 Fleshbag Marauder
4 Gatekeeper of Malakir
3 Grave Titan
4 Phylactery Lich (aka Lord Voldemort)
Other Spells (22)
1 Basilisk Collar
1 Crystal Ball (aka, errr... Crystal Ball?)
4 Diabolic Tutor (aka Accio
3 Everflowing Chalice
4 Mind Sludge
4 Sign in Blood
1 Sword of Vengeance (aka Elder Wand?)
4 Tendrils of Corruption
Sideboard
4 Leyline of the Void
4 Dragon's Claw
4 Duress
3 Pithing Needle

Indestructible. Even Voldy is not immortal.
He could easily be banished away via an O-ring, or a Journey to Nowhere, not to mention being exiled and condemned. Such a sad fate. In many games I was two-for-oned by my opponent when he ringed my colalr or my sword. Much like what happened when Harry revealed that the true master of the Elder Wand was not Voldy, but himself. Thus, Expilliarmus defeated Aveda Kedavra.
In the end, the star of the deck, in the few moments that it shone is a turn 4 Mind Sludge for 5 followed by a turn 6 Grave Titan. With the chalices out, sometimes, these happen a turn or two earlier.
I have matched up against a Time Warp deck and a Pyromancer Ascension deck; both of which gets murdered by game 2 leylines.
All in all, I think the deck is a fail. Voldy, no matter how flavorful he is, is very much "destructible" and can be disposed of quite easily. He is not the sort of card you would wanna build around. I think this would be better converted into a mono-black control deck...what do you think?
