November 30th, 2015 - 5 Man Draft
(I'll get a better lighting setup eventually. I only have 1 light source in the best room for this, so glare is always a problem.)
Yet again legacy doesn't fire.
Oh well, Cube is better on a local scale anyways (legacy with so few people gets stale).
The Storm player of the room asked if my cube supported storm, I told him it really didn't, but we made a deal that he could get a 0th pick Mind's Desire to try and find out. So that was interesting.
Here's his list, with its relevant sideboard - which was varied enough to warrant discussion. We talked and agreed he really needed a big threat, which I said should have at least involved Murder of Crows.
and here's UB - pretty sure he went 2-1
On of the coolest GW aggro decks I've seen, which I think was hurt by playing too many tapped non-basics for unneeded fixing. [card]Great Oak Guardian[/card] is indeed ridiculous. I might be playing too many token producers in my cube to even consider running it. If it didn't have flash at least you could play around the extra 10+ points it sometimes generates. It ends the game on the spot whether on offense or defense.
BW with 'Tog. He won a game where he Momentary Blinked his Grey Merchant, then flashed it back and did it again.
and my deck, RW aggro.
Went 3-0 in the 3 matches I had time to play proving yet again that direct damage really gives these aggressive red decks an absurd late game. Between Shrine, Fireball, and direct damage like Pierce Strider and Fireblast, it's tough for other decks to compete if they don't have a great start.
