http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/gplil15/top-16-decklists-2015-07-05#th_susann_heidemuellers_temur_delver

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.

Melissa DeTora is a female pro-Magic player that writes for TCGPlayer.com! Here's an except from her article on Mono-Red in Standard:

Red Deck Wins, more commonly known as Monored, and less commonly known as Sligh, is a deck that Magic players either love or hate. It's played in every format and can win matches consistently, but isn't a deck that is known for being the “best” deck in the room. Monored is a deck that is seeing absolutely no play in Standard right now, and my goal today is to build the optimal Red Deck Wins deck for the current metagame.

Driving 2.5 hours to go pick up SOPHIE!

Then home for dinner

Then hopefully going to Sam's Club to get an iPad to replace this computer, which is becoming more and more bitcy (You're gonna use your mom's laptop? IMA RESTART MYSELF AGAIN SO THE WHOLE HOUSE CAN HEAR IT!!!) Yeah.

THEN I'll try and do something for LadyMtG since I haven't actually done anything except reblog since joining and I feel bad ;_;

Red Deck wins

Standard last night in the small LGS I go to from time to time.

Went undefeated against the boys with my RDW.

Purphoros is a house when you have two young Pyromancers out and play a Molten Birth.

Hi! My name is Greta, I'm 23 and I come from Italy :) I started playing Magic with M11 and the first official event I attended was Scars of Mirrodin Launch Party, which I enjoyed a lot! :D I wanted to learn play long before M11, because I saw friends playing Magic, but then, thanks to my boyfriend, I finally learned this wonderful game. I love the arts, the story, the way they put them in the game's mechanics and, obviously, the game itself! <3 I've got two pauper decks: Slivers(GW) and TurboFog(UG). And two Commander deck: BrunAuras and a mono-black(commander:Gisa). And after these I've also got a Modern deck, which I hope to bring it to a tournament: A BorosBurn Deck.

I think this is all! ^^ Thanks for reading and following our blog!

Bye bye! :)

Lauren here! Sorry I haven't posted anything until now, and SUPER sorry for the horrible webcam quality (I'm on my old computer while my nice one's in the shop x.x) I hope it's not too distracting!

Anyway here's me breaking down Modern Mono-Blue Faeries. Fun times! :)

[ladymtg]

Introduction Post!

My name is Lauren, and I'm from Portland, Maine even though I currently live in Pennsylvania. I've been playing Magic since March of 2011. I didn't start playing competitively until about September of the same year; now I FNM every week I can and consistently Top 8. I'm very competitive, so I keep up on all the latest decks in the formats that I play.

Speaking of, I play mostly Standard. I have 2 Modern decks as well but I've never played in a Modern tournament, much to my chagrin :< I also have a Kaalia of the Vast EDH deck that I love with all my heart.

I consider myself a control player - blue is my thing. My favorite deck I've ever run was a U/B control in standard a few months ago. I won FNMs with it and I really enjoyed how it forced me to think and make important decisions on the fly. Should I counter that or should I save it for something better? Should I destroy that? Should I tap out to play my win-con or wait? I like playing blue because it's challenging.

My life is this game. On top of working with LadyMtG, I run my personal blog which has kind of morphed into a MtG themed blog and I run the infamous MtGFashions. I've been posting videos of my deck techs lately and hope to continue doing that. 

I also cosplay Chandra! My armor was commissioned and it's genuine, "battle-ready" plate armor. The chainmail is hand-knit and the faux-leather top is soon-to-be replaced by real leather. This costume is my pride and joy and until it's perfect it'll always be considered a work in progress! I'm also working on a Liliana of the Veil and have been considering attempting Tamiyo!

So yeah...before I start to ramble I'll cut this off. I'll try and stay active on this while also managing my other two blogs and managing schoolwork, so keep an eye out for future posts :)

Weird happenings

I went to this draft at my local card shop. This kid that was next to me was opening a fat pack...the strange thing about it was the fact that he was getting three rares a pack. Something told me to buy one too. Sure enough i was getting three a pack too.

We had some that were loaded.

I got 17 rares out of a 9 pack fat pack.

Only one packaged set of packs had the multiples but overall id say it was completely worth buying
