Title Explaination

        This was just something I wanted to say, but needed a good excuse.  Therefore, I created this deck, which focuses on psionics, and keeps that the major theme.  Plus, being so smart, I have no need to use magic items or artifacts, and it makes a very interesting theme.

Rule Cards: (2)
1. Antimagic Cloud [PO-c16]  (best psionic rule card available)
2. The Master Strategist  [4th-500]

Realms: (13)
1. Ancient Kalidnay  [AR-92]
2. Blood Sea of Istar  [4th-57]  (one of the nastiest realms around)
3. The Coral Kingdom  [FR-11]  (an oldie but a goodie)
4. Crystal Sphere  [PO-c1]  (not needed, but nice and useful)
5. Evermeet  [3rd-29]
6. Lake Island  [AR-97]
7. The Lost City  [RR-16]  (probably the most nasty red hat realm)
8. Menzoberranzan  [1st-2]
9. Nelanther  [NS-4]  (great card for annoying Song of the Dragonlance)
10. Reorxcrown Mountains  [DL-15]
11. Shining Lands  [AR-87]  (immunities make this great)
12. Spindrift Isles  [4th-23]
13. Ur Draxa  [AR-93]  (with Shadowlands and Land of Legend, you may want to pull this card)

1. Poisoned Oasis  [MI-68]  (Caravan stopped, or back up if the opponent is using City States)

1. Calm  [1st-400]
2. The Caravan  [1st-319]

5. Fast Talking!  [3rd-210]
6. The Gathering  [IQ-43]  (great with small champions, but usually get two level 5 champions)
7. Good Fortune  [1st-100]

1. Ansalong  [P2, 4th-337]
2. Aramil of Tusmit  [P5, IQ-19]

Notes on Deck Building

         After finding all the best psionic champions and finding most of them to be low level, this became a pseudo-munchkin deck.  However, having the very good rule cards (Nullify Magic also works very well), it wasn't worth the Time of Troubles (besides, the few high level ones make nice suprises).  The realms are all hard to attack, and that combined with the duration champions make this a hard deck to attack.  However, good attack methods were needed, which is where Dark Negation and the avatar come in.  If works very well and has proven to be a pretty nasty deck.

Note on Standard Play

        Attack when you see openings, but make sure the home defense is well covered (The Gathering works great for this).  Attacking for spoils with precision type attacks is the special attacks, and random threat attacks work best only with champions that can return (Minerva or Seluna work best, especially Seluna doesn't say when you have to use her power).
