Stasis
Stasis, who hasn't heard of the card? Everybody gets in to contact with it at
least once, and once you played against it you never forget that card ever
again. And thats not so weird if you see what this card does; Skip your untap
phase. Deck is really tough to play though. You need to know the rules very
well, and need to practice a lot before you can play this right. You have to
know how long you can wait to play the Stasis, so that your opponent won't
kick the crap out of you, since you have such less defence and you have no
life gaining at all. And you dont get an untap phase neither. Since Stasis has
an upkeep of U, this may need some thinking. And last but not least, without
the Stasis you are screwed. So you need to make sure it wont gets removed
by your opponents.
