Holy shit. Game 1 vs a heroic black white deck. Thankfully he plays so slow, he grinded himself down to 8 minutes and me at 14 as I finally died on turn 17 with a double ediolon'd creature and him over 100 life. I had double YP in play to chump forever but drew no spells, just creatures to brick him until I land flooded and drew my chains way too late. Game 2, my whole plan is to stall and run out his timer but I have an aggro hand and he only plays turn 3 spear. Is that dickish?
Turn 4 with 4 minutes on clock I play blind obedience hoping he won't concede so I can bleed him on more time to lock out game 3. Instead he just leaves the match, I guess realizing he didn't have enough time for game 3. Phew.
So far.
Oops. Took white weenie on topdeck mode as I killed everything he had. Helix his single boros elite...he plays brimaz without mana to protect it. Wow I got greedy.

I'm up to after winning another draft. I'm in deckbuilding for the sealed daily with a very aggressive WU that curves out at ornitharch...the UR build looked solid too with a bolt, strike, and the red hasty scry for 1U guy...but I think the WU will take more people unawares with how fast it is.

It took me awhile to learn that, Mulling is very important I had a game in this set (vs Redzone):OMG I so need this.I usually take break after one event loss, keeps me from tilting.
Someone needs to slap me EVERY time I keep a high-land hand. Why can't I learn?

I'm in Round 1 of a SE . . . mulliganed to 5 against Esper Control and won G1 in 9 turns, and crushed him G2 in 6.
I completely refreshed my deck choice. Now MB is 4x YP$, 4x Phoenix, and 2x Chandra (the rest burn and Chained).
SB is 2x BO, 2x FDS, 2x SFD, 2x Mortars, 3x Searing Blood, and 4x Cackler.
I figure if I can't win, I'm going to at least have fun. (lol then I won.)
EDIT: BTW, that win was against Joe Spanier (FoundOmega). In G2 he played 2 back-to-back Archangel of Thunes. I killed the 1st and the second was irrelevant, since he was at 1 life and I had a shock. He did manage to get a BO on the board G2, but against FDS and Cackler, who cares.

I've done the math. At current booster prices, you need the following match win rates to break even:Wouldn't it be better value to avoid playing in 8 mans together?
2-Man Queues: 73%
8-Man Queues: 61%
Daily Event: 52%
So, yeah, DE's are where it's at. It's just very hard for me to fit them in my schedule.
EDIT: Also, with a 67% win rate, your expected QPs for 8P is 0.75, and 1.0 for DEs.

I meant not entering 8mans that Zem or another clan member is already queued for. It seems like you guys could wait for the queue to fire again and both win 2 rupees

I've said it a few times;
DEs are easily the best way to build a bank roll.
But if you're after quick QPs, you need to fight through the 8-mans.

Btw, Zem, this will boost your ego, last night at my frat I was talking to a new member who I guess plays MODO a lot and he knew of you by name, he's been watching your videos on CFB and he knew you were a main creator of the boros burn deck. He might come join the clan
