Played the SCG Invitational this weekend; muddled through Day 1 at 5-3, then started Day 2 6-0, lost my win-and-in for T8 on camera (here at 7:27:30), then won my last round (after opponent refused the split!) for T16, $2k, and a qualification for the next Invitational Went 6-2 in both...

needs Undying instead

Congrats!

I miss FSR, maybe this will bring him back

I love anything that involves lands switching zones and piling up. A lot of the on-theme finishers (Meloku, Multani, Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths, Primeval Titan) are at a high power level, which is great for convincing the power-max crowd to try it but awkward if you're trying to tone...

I've enjoyed Glint Hawk + Kor Skyfisher + Stonecloaker with Teshar + Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Oketra's Monument + Shrine of Loyal Legions as payoffs There's also: Genesis Chamber

I really wish there was a version of Skullclamp that only drew one card; it would still be OP, but at least in a manageable way

^split a 3k with this once again I'm doing terribly at GPs but great at local events, need to figure out how to bridge the gap

magic is for nerds

please attend more prereleases or write about stuff other than prereleases

Scourge was really good for me - it does need some setup (though that can be as little as 'cast Stitcher's Supplier') but the ability to turn random chaff into a serious threat can't be overlooked. Sometimes you have it with Gravecrawler, Bloodghast, Lingering Souls, Bitterblossom or whatever...

Quick hits from past month or so: - I lost playing for T8 of Nationals but went 6-0 in Limited somehow (including beating Nicol Bolas, the Ravager transforming twice in the same game) - Scrubbed out at some GPs and will shortly scrub out of more - Lost a PPTQ finals with Hardened Scales, then...

in Toronto now, hmu

I'd still look at Tormenting Voice/Cathartic Reunion; they aren't inherently aggressive, but it's easy to unload your hand the turn after and make up for lost time. This is more true the heavier your version of the deck leans towards aggro-combo

You all posted enough to knock my thread off the front page. Pretty rude tbh! It's ok though I still love you all GUILDS OF RAVNICA: I was very excited when I heard we were heading back to (back to) Ravnica. The OG Ravnica was my first full block as a new player and I loved the art, flavour...

There are a few ways you can take this: - Have the archetype be centred in one of the colours e.g. +1/+1 counters in Abzan with green as the primary colour as it's easy to build GW or GB counters deck but WB counters isn't really a thing. This lets you indicate more clearly to your drafters...

In my experience people accept double fetches/shocks without a second thought while anything else takes a bit longer to wrap their heads around. Most drafters view lands as a constraint on what spells they can cast rather than an end in themselves whereas, as soon as you see two of one spell...

I must have taken a nap during SOI because I forgot about Ravenous Bloodseeker and never saw Furyblade Vampire before AFAIK. Does anyone have much experience with either? Check out this deck that's put up some results in Vintage recently: Ones 1 Mox Pearl 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Mox Jet 1 Mox...
