A Quick Update


Short post today everyone. Last night was a whirlwind of testing and figuring things out. We made a primarily draw-go deck that features a heavy-anti aggro mainboard including three Gideon Jura and three Day of Judgment. The deck is a monstrosity. Beat puresteel consistantly and well, as long as it could stick Gideon. Otherwise, Puresteel was able to put enough pressure on to win the day.

The deck can draw an absolutely absurd number of cards, and translates that card advantage into pure resource denial in the late game. I'm not happy with him not running at least one Moorland Haunt, but that's a minor quibble and doesn't hold a candle to the fact that the deck feels very consistent, albeit a little slow. As long as he can reach turn 4-5 with a reasonable life total, he should be in good position to take over the game.

We're headed out in a few minutes, first to go to this, then for some other fun nonsense at Marshall's house (maybe?). Tomorrow, we're all headed out to the Pennsylvania Ren Faire. If you're going to be there yourself, maybe I'll see you.

Obviously won't be writing another post until I get back Sunday night, which will likely be a tournament report for both decks (and actual decklists/sideboards for what both of us ended up playing at the end of the day.)

Till Next Time,
Andrew
