I ended up in 11th place with 1 bye.

My only real loss happened on day 1 in round 4. I was up against UWr Delver and in the third game mulligan down to 4 cards, against an opponent who dropped a turn 2 Stoneforge and put a batterskull into play on turn 3. In round 2 I was up against foodchain. A slow player paired with a grindy deck, so we ended up in a draw. He did not want to concede to me, even though my board state was better but I can't really blame him, since it wasn't guaranteed that I would have won the game but I really did not want to pick up the draw in the second round and play miracles and slow players all day, so I begrudgingly conceded to him.

In round 11 i picked up a draw against death and taxes. the last 6 minutes or so were on camera. I told him that a draw most likely gets us out of top 8 contention and I was asking if we just play the last 5 round and who ever has the better board state concedes to the other. He was not thrilled at the idea since he believed his tie breakers to be good. Fair enough, we drew a game that I would have most likely won.

I played the following decks: Day 1 1 Foodchain 2 Jeskai delver 2 Miracles 1 RUG Delver 1 Merfolk 1 Grixis Control

Day 2 Round 10 Infect Round 11 Death and Taxes Round 12 UR Delver Round 13 BUG Delver Round 14 Dark Maverick Round 15 Grixis Delver

My main take away from the weekend (feel free to disagree)

Nimble mongoose is still the all star of the deck

Playing 2 dismember in the main was correct for the current meta

Forked Bolt still has a place at the moment

siding out two wastelands against miracles was great

Sulfur Elemental is amazing, but I think 1 is the correct number

Destructive Revelry is better than Krosan Grip

I think it's still correct to never side out Goyf

Call people out on slow play once and then get a judge involved, not doing so will cost you games.

Why did I keep this hand?

A six word story (via mtgfan)

He had it coming, he had it coming He only had himself to blame If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it I betcha you would have done the same

Squirrel fans rejoice! Inspired by this post from mtgfan. I used Naya colors and a set of keywords I think would make Ajani proud.

I feel that your land count is a little bit low.

If you’re gonna keep it budget, I’d say throw in a playset of Orzhov Guildgate.

Also, I’d suggest to put in the deck on http://tappedout.net/, which helps you and other people to see the deck stats like manacurve and color distribution easily and offer help based on that.

Okay so here it is and i still suck and am newbie-ish to MtG so someone help me make this into something sexy ( it’s a black/white deck )

Did he find a sale on bath salts? Did he just get engaged?

Thanks to you, at least once a day my girlfriend informs me that she's pulling out of her driveway, and you know what that means, its time for another driiiive to work. She doesn't own a car. I don't even play magic. I hope you're happy.

I am happy.

I would be even happier though if I could get you to play Magic. : )

Looking for people to brew with

Hey guys,

I just came back from a rather crushing PTQ. I was running a semi control mid range Boros deck which performs well against mono black and mono blue and can old up against green/red devotion and aggro as well. But it gets crushed by Esper and strangely milling.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/boros-mr-tokens-copy/ 

But my match ups were unfortunate and I didn't face a single black or blue deck. Now I'm looking to turn this into an URW control deck, I would love to bounce ideas off somebody and play around with the possibilities.

How's that tutorial coming along?

Just a heads up!

This is magically beautiful.

So, yes it's magic related.

30 Day Magic: the Gathering Challenge

Day 1: Favorite Color

I am an Izzet girl. Given the choice I will always go for the counter burn-decks.

But if I really have to choose I'd go with red.

There's just something about saying: "End of your turn, Lightning Strike your face for 3 ." or "During ypur Upkeep, I Skullcrack you for 3."

Although I'm not big on the typical Red Deck Wins, since I'm a Johnny at heart (Well, Johnny splashing Spike) and the current standard has so many creative possibilities, that I am very happy with the current state of red in standard.
