I would put a Clan Defiance in there somewhere since you have the potential to generate so much mana.

Nice burn, brah.

Why did you play your Hammer on turn 3? You weren't at a point where you want to be sacrificing lands yet, and you hadn't seen Chandra. Making a dude and then drawing her on 3 land would be the feel-bad moment of the match.

It was a mono white, so I was anticipating for some Fiendslayer Paladin to show up. The hammer also compliments by giving all my non-haste creatures the boost they need (Sided in Reckoners too).

Besides, nothing is more assuring than the option to say "End of your turn, 3/3 Golem."

That mono blue deck Team SCG is playing looks pretty cool.

A dude who used to play devotion red switched to that at my LGS last night.

I felt like we needed to play taps or something.

Redbro down.

Are there any decklists posted already? I'm interested in both that Mono Blue decks and as overall, the big tournament that happened today.

You know when you steam roll GW with maindeck unflinching courage and gift of orzhova in the sideboard you're on to something. Some people are psychopaths.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 2:13 am

All list's are approximations:

4 Frostburn Weird
4 Master of Waves
3 Omenspeaker
3 Thassa, God of the Sea
3 Jace, Architect of Thought
3 Bident of Thassa
4 Cloudfin Raptor
4 Judge's Familiar
4 Tidebinder Mage
4 Nightveil Specter
3 Mutavault
19 Island
2 Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

4 Soldier of the Pantheon
4 Fiendslayer Paladin
4 Precinct Captain
2 Obzedat, Ghost Council
4 Imposing Sovereign
4 Godless Shrine
4 Temple of Silence
2 Orzhov Guildgate
12 Plains
2 Swamp
4 Desecration Demon
3 Thoughtseize
2 Hero's Downfall
3 Doom Blade
3 Read the Bones
3 Blood Baron of Vizkopa

Much less sure on this one^ Like, I'm pretty sure it doesn't play imposing soverign.

And then there's us.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 2:23 am

OK. Honestly that blue deck looks horrible. I guess it is just a meta call, but playing UB or UW has got to be better.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 2:25 am

If you're playing at the pro tour, the goal isn't to play a "good deck" in a traditional sense, but to spike the tournament with something you think is going to beat the field.

Patrick Chapin has written many times that it's much better to gamble on hitting the home run, even if you misread the field and end up striking out.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 2:29 am

True.

1/10 to top 8 >>> 1/2 to cash.

I did last night lol. Dome you for 9 with mogis bro. Attack 8. I have you at -3.

Helios · Postby **Helios** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 2:49 am

I'm not seeing the reason to go mono blue. UB can play all the things, gets the scrylands, and doesn't really suffer from the splash. Did he really want to jam Mutavault/Nykthos that hard?

Aodh · Postby **Aodh** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 2:53 am

Ahhhh! States in 12 hours; 20-27-6 approximate distribution of decks. What to play?! Thinking Dos Rakis can cream on the green decks, but AIR might just be fast enough to go under them... What're you guys taking?

I don't understand the distribution... aggro / control / combo?

Aodh · Postby **Aodh** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 3:35 am

Aggro/midrange/control.

Valdarith · Postby **Valdarith** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 3:36 am

BR aggro.

Think so? Check my list out in that thread. About right for the meta?

Helios · Postby **Helios** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 3:45 am

Taking Pyrored with Z's added special sauce. Looks like it will be a fun day of Magic no matter what the outcome, lots of interesting decks out there.

You'll have to link it to me. I checked our Rakdos thread and did not see it.

FACT: 1 Assemble the Legion > 2 Blood Baron and Obzedaddy.

What flavor of midrange?

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 4:16 am

OK the CFB ramp deck is gorgeous.

Lightning_Dolt · Postby **Lightning_Dolt** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 4:28 am

It just occurred to me, I have dropped one match in my last four FNMs. Thanks for helping me not suck redbros.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 4:31 am

And THANK YOU for engaging with the community, growing as a player and giving so much back.

You know what happens when you add fuel to fire.

Junk is a really tough matchup. You'll maybe want black splash.

Rb aggro a good choice then? My list is bottom of pg. 1 in Developing: BR Aggro.

TBuzzsaw · Postby **TBuzzsaw** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 5:37 am

Okay Redbros, I need help finding the right Red Variant deck for next week. There's a big event for foil cards and I can't decide which version to take when the scene is going to look like mostly Esper and a lot of Green variant decks (RG Ramp, Junk Midrange, and Mono Green) with practically nothing else.

There's just so much to choose from. It's like I'm a kid in a candy store but not sure which candy will give me a sugar high the fastest.

Does it hurt? If it hurts at all, I would go to the ER. If it doesn't, I would probably make an appointment with my regular doctor for Monday.

TubeHunter · Postby **TubeHunter** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 6:32 am

I planted to go cut up to make the tackle and I felt something pop. It hurts a bit, and I'm going to go to the doctors Tommorow morning

TubeHunter · Postby **TubeHunter** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 6:34 am

I'm upset at possibly being out the rest of the season, my senior year can't end like this...

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 8:15 am

OK the CFB ramp deck is gorgeous.

Remember that time when Zman played WRR in standard? Yeah, it's kinda like that.

Deck is powerful as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck from all I know of it. Can't wait to see the list.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 8:26 am

A) I think skullcrack allows you to kill master of waves with the 'Damage can't be prevented clause". You shouldn't side in skullcrack for this niche application, but I find it funny.

B) Switched decks with my buddy at FNM tonight(piloted Esper) and we got 3/4th. If I had won round 3, we could have split 1st/2nd but I'm a scrub that can't beat mainboard sin collectors into whips into thoughtseize.

Overall, fun night.

NerdBoyWonder · Postby **NerdBoyWonder** » Sat Oct 12, 2013 8:43 am

Brief FNM report I managed to do on my phone right after. Went 1-3. Report is here: viewtopic.php?p=123102#p123102

Just looking for overall feedback and critique of my sideboard decisions. Pretty sure I might have screwed up a bit somewhere.
