Somehow, this deck won another game. Played it yesterday and built up a lethal board state with Elvish Piper to help accelerate things. Nothing fancy. Just old-fashioned beatdown. I was actually kind of surprised that it worked.

Tried to play this deck yesterday, but I mulliganed too many times and gave up in disgust. I am done with this deck for now. I'll do something with it, but I'm still not decided on what that thing is...

Played this deck once on Wednesday and once yesterday. The game on Wednesday ran a little long, but I protected myself from attacks with Propaganda and Sphere of Safety. l took my time and was able to set up a full combo with Opalescence and all three parallax enchantments. The game yesterday...

Well, I played this deck twice on Wednesday and once yesterday. It lost pretty uneventfully the first time, did manage to cast All Hallow's Eve the second time (then lost soon after), and got picked off by burning giants the third time. Notably, another opponent blew up my Grave Pact with...

I finally did it. I finally built a Skeletons deck for Halloween. Not sure how this thing is supposed to win. I guess that it isn't. But I sure do have some skeletons in here. Commander: 1 Skeleton Ship 1 All Hallow's Eve 1 Arcane Denial 1 Augur of Skulls 1 Bloodstained Mire 1 Bone Dragon 1...

Won another game with this deck, but it was one that I should totally have lost. I didn't get the right topdecks and one of my opponents, after picking off the rest of the table, should have had me dead. He felt rushed by me (which I didn't actually realize until afterward) and sequenced his...

Oops. Went to play this deck again last night, but it was another mismatch. An opponent with a deck helmed by Atraxa, Grand Unifier dominated the game. Really picked the wrong tool for the job this time.

Had a good game with this deck. The game technically went unfinished with the game store closing, but I was eliminated right before that, so I can't say that I would have won! Still, the deck did well for itself. I thought that one of my opponent was probably making a mistake swinging all-in...

This deck lost a reasonably close one. I really didn't have much going on and should probably have died, but it became precarious for my two opponents to devote resources to eliminating me as they both needed to deal with each other. This bought me time to get The Haunt of Hightower online...

When I made my previous post in this thread, I thought that I was done with this deck. Well, I didn't get around to building my Halloween deck for this year and I haven't taken anything apart for that just yet. Someone wanted to play "high power decks" at our table last night. I figured that...

Last night, I kept an opening hand with both Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Nacatl War-Pride. While there was initially no thought to any sort of synergy between them when I included both cards in this deck, they have somehow becomes its signature move. I was able to steal victory from the jaws...

I kept a stupidly risky hand with only one land, so I was stuck with a slow start for the first few turns. Good old Metalworker caught me up to the rest of the table. It could have gone a few different ways from that point, but I got an opening after my opponents weakened each other enough for...

Played this deck again last night. A timely All Is Dust helped me level the playing field, but I got stuck after that for a few turns. Drawing into Rhystic Study and then getting my opponents to play into it as they scrambled to deal with each other. This let me assemble a combo with Barrin...

Played this deck for my final game on Friday. After a pitched battle saw the game get down to a one-on-one with no way yet for me to break through my opponent's defenses, I assembled an infinite combo with Thopter Squadron + Clock of Omens + Grim Monolith + Forsaken Monument + Tarrian's...

On Friday, I finally played this deck again, and the "new version" (sans Mana Crypt) at that. I took 18 commander damage from one opponent and later another opponent hit me with Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. But I was able to bounce attackers and steal control of creatures enough that I just...

I got some more games in on Friday evening. Won't be able to do that every week (because of my work schedule), but I'll be trying to do so more often. I grabbed this deck as an opener, but it was a victim of circumstances. After I already had my opening hand, an employee at the LGS wanted to...

Yet again, I Sage of Lat-Nam saved me. I piloted this deck for my final game of last night. Kept a lousy starting hand, but was able to get Cayth making servos and Sage of Lat-Nam sacrificing those servos in order to dig for more cards. The going was slow, but no one had anything that...

I played this deck in a long game with a five-player pod. Thing started out poorly for me, but I was able to hold on, taking minimal attacks, and eventually hardcast Divine Intervention. My opponents didn't want to end the game in a draw, so they worked to stop me. While they couldn't actually...

I played this deck for my first game yesterday. With Mana Vault and Dark Ritual, I got The Haunt of Hightower out on turn 2. None of my opponents managed to ever kill or block my commander, so the game was over quickly and uneventfully.

Well, I tried this deck again last night. The LGS was closing, so we had to end the game in a draw with three players still alive. I suspect that I would have lost to the very strong Ob-Nixilis, Captive Kingpin deck that was the dominant force at the table throughout the game. But it was far...
