2/23/10 Draft

I had a very "whatever I need, when I need it" couple of games with this deck- I won the series but it probably wasn't that representative of what should have happened. Aether Vial is pretty much the best ever though. This was a debut for Thunderblust and he was awesome. Oh, I also had LD on turn 4 every game. Yikes.

My deck:



Justin's:

2/22 Draft 2

Yuckers. This is one of the worst decks I've drafted in the cube:



And Justin decided to prove why mono-red-hybrid is the raddest:



I don't like to say blowout, but there we are.

2/22 Draft 1

How many times will Nemesis of Reason destroy me? Enough. Library doesn't hurt either.


My deck:



And Justin's:

2/19 Draft

Alright, so turns out a month and a half later all I remember is whose decks were whose. SPOILER ALERT: This deck is jerkier than the other one so it was probably mine. I think I one this series, although it is by no means obvious since Justin's deck is also rad.

Here's mine:



And here is Justin's:



If I'm remembering correctly, the deal was that Sarkhan never ever showed up for Justin. Has anyone else tried the Persecutor in the cube? Thoughts? I'm sold on it, but I think I might be the only one.

2/16/09 Changes

Alright, so we laid out each color today to talk about the curve we wanted, and decided on a few changes as a result.

First, the changes:

Kor Skyfisher in for Kor Aeronaut

This effect is just never not good. The definition of a not-drawback.

Journey to Nowhere in for Scepter of Dominance

The scepter is really good, but the commitment to white is pretty high, and white has a lot of other cards that are more powerful with a strong color requirement such as Sacred Mesa and Eight-and-a-half-Tails

Bloodghast in for Malakir Bloodwitch

Conservation of vamp.... nevermind. We really wanted Bloodghast in and the curve for black seemed high enough.


Necromancy in for Makeshift Mannequin.

Seems better, right?

Searing Blaze in for Carbonize

Seems nice.

Thunderblust in for Changeling Berserker

Trying it out. Kazuul is another option here, but I'm not sure that's what red wants. Red doesn't have a lot of high end creatures though.

Rampaging Baloths in for Baru, Fist of Krosa

Again, green doesn't have a lot of huge monsters. Hey look! A monster.

So, now for the stats.

	Creatures	Spells	Avg Creature CMC	Average Spell CMC
White	35	25	3.7	3.6
Blue	31	29	4.3	3.0
Black	30	30	4.0	2.8
Red	35	25	4.1	2.3
Green	40	20	3.9	3.0

Bloodhall Ooze = Optogenetics

Or is a neuron. Either way, the resemblance is pretty stunning.

02/07/10 Changes

Goblin Guide in for Ghost-Lit Raider

Ravenous Baboons in for Hearth Kami

Trying some stuff out. We really want to get Bloodghast in too, but don't know how.

Tie-in!
