The Sparkler is hands down the best preconstructed deck in the Stronghold series. It combines the power of blue's defenses with the offense of red. It has a lot of useful spells from Counterspells, Mana Leaks and Shocks. The components of the deck is as follows.

14 Island

13 Mountain

1 Wall of Tears

1 Mogg Fanatic

1 Wall of Razors

1 Mind Games

1 Whispers of the Muse

2 Power Sink

2 Spell Blast

1 Contempt

3 Mana Leak

1 Counterspell

2 Capsize

1 Intruder Alarm

2 Propaganda

1 Ransack

1 Reins of Power

1 Evacuation

2 Shock

2 Flowstone Blade

1 Searing Touch

1 Shatter

2 Fanning the Flames

3 Lightning Blast

The deck lived up to the precon concept of being playable out of the box. The deck was patterned after fire and ice decks which were in vogue at the time. This is an excellent deck.
