So...spoils are over. Red aggro didn't get any constructed-useful burn, and black didn't get terror or other impactful monocolored removal. Crap.
Yep...I kinda called that one. Fortunately for us, the majority of the world is full of bad magic players. Looks like they'll get to play with new toys and we get to beat them with our awesome Red Mage skills.
Also, congrats on the win, LP. You mentioned that BUG deck and it's funny that I watched a deck tech on a similar deck on SCG. It actually looks....fun. It was called Evolve Aggro (this version was Bant) and it kind of reminds me of Delver 2.0.And as for your next deck, I support your decision to play KDW.
Also, while going over the SCG results, I watched Cedric Philips deck tech
on his Jund Aggro (which was basically a "Gruulhammer" deck splashing black for Aristocrat). My jaw hit the floor when he said that Hellrider is a bad card because it can get blocked by Restoration Angel. Now, I do agree with his choice of Aristocrat for his deck (his deck is not made to swarm, and hence does not need Hellrider), but saying Hellrider sucks? Shame, shame, Mr. Philips. That guy has a penchant for insulting cards that have worked for him in the past.
And now that it's official, Happy Birthday, redthirst! Many years ago, amidst the moans of a thousand virgins, the ground opened up and a great, fiery claw delivered the infant redthirst to the human family that would raise him. His destiny was set and his future was promising. He would one day lead the Red Mages to the promised land with his tactical genius, tell-it-like-it-is attitude, and his large, American penis. Today we have recognized his rise to greatness, but the future holds much more for this god amongst men. Long live
the king!
