This week's Decks of the Week is a gigantic installment for the world of decks. The largest Grand Prix in recorded history is in, all decklists from Pro Tour-San Diego, extensive PTQ coverage, and Magic Online. We've got two interesting Extended decklists to bring you from the culled lists, and make sure to check ALL the decklists below at the link.

 

Chester Li

7th Place - Massachusetts - Boston - 2/27

 

3  Cascade Bluffs

5  Island

4  Misty Rainforest

1  Mountain

3  Mutavault

4  Scalding Tarn

3  Steam Vents

 

3  Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

3  Mistbind Clique

4  Pestermite

4  Spellstutter Sprite

3  Vendilion Clique

 

4  Ancestral Vision

2  Chrome Mox

2  Cryptic Command

4  Lightning Bolt

2  Firespout

2  Glen Elendra Archmage

A deck a Jon Loucks' could love, Chester Li took down 7th at a PTQ in Boston playing Kiki-Jiki combo. The trick? Cast Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, then copy Pestermite. The token untaps something as it enters the battlefield. Pick the Kiki-Jiki, rinse and repeat, and you wind up with an infinite number of hasty, 2/1 Pestermite tokens. Loucks, the ChannelFireball.com columnist, took a similar list all the way to the top slot at a PTQ in Seattle last season.

 

 

Nate Siftar

1st Place - North Dakota - Fargo - 2/27

 

4  Ancient Den

2  Blinkmoth Nexus

4  Great Furnace

4  Seat of the Synod

4  Vault of Whispers

 

4  Arcbound Ravager

3  Arcbound Worker

4  Frogmite

4  Master of Etherium

4  Myr Enforcer

4  Ornithopter

 

3  Blood Moon

4  Chromatic Star

4  Cranial Plating

4  Springleaf Drum

4  Thoughtcast

 

Sideboard:

1  Blood Moon

4  Ethersworn Canonist

3  Path to Exile

2  Spell Pierce

3  Thopter Foundry

2  Tormod's Crypt

 

Affinity isn't exactly new news, but the fact that Minnesota's Nate Siftar took the list to the top slot in Fargo, North Dakota IS something worth noting. After all, the deck hasn't exactly put up stellar numbers over the course of the season. Siftar's list was pretty status quo save for the fact he ran three copies of Blood Moon in the maindeck. Considering his deck's lack of colored mana requirements, and ability to produce them with Chromatic Star and Springleaf Drum, the gambit may be a smart choice for late in the Extended season.
