Another fun game with this deck. The game ran pretty long and saw a lot of interaction between all four players. There were moments when it seemed like any of us might win. Ultimately, I did eventually draw both Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest again, but that actually wasn't enough to win the game...

-1 Sentinel -1 Swamp +1 Master of Cruelties +1 Scalding Tarn

Still not taking this one apart just yet, so I'll swap in some recent purchases. -1 Deepfathom Echo -1 Burgeoning +1 Helix Pinnacle +1 Temporal Distortion

Can't seem to catch a break with this deck now. Lost twice, and both games saw my deck struggle a lot.

Had a fun game with this one. One of my opponents was running a Cirdan the Shipwright deck, and the extra card draw randomly drew me into both Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest, so I just kind of suddenly won on the spot with infinite squirrels.

Had a bit of a hectic game tonight with this deck. I was manascrewed early on, but eventually managed to kind of kingmake things. Would have been a close game if I had not fallen so far behind so quickly.

Should probably have lost my last game with this one. My last opponent had a Viridian Revel, so she decided to let me take her treasure tokens when I attacked her with Hellkite Tyrant. I think she just wanted to see how it would shake out. I already had Flameshadow Conjuring, and was able to...

Coat of Arms almost came through for me in my most recent game with this deck, but couldn't quite get there. Hushbringer wrecked me. Couldn't kill it in time to save myself.

Hahaha. Second turn kill. I had Gemstone Caverns in my opening hand, so I was able to drop Ancient Tomb into Nissa right away. Opponent cast Eladamri's Vineyard, let me hardcast Cultivator Colossus. Hilarious.

-1 Abomination -1 Infernal Medusa -1 Lesser Werewolf -1 The Wretched -1 Hellfire +1 Gray Merchant of Asphodel +1 Shapeshifter +1 Vile Entomber +1 Sevinne's Reclamation +1 Gamble

The distribution of basic lands is markedly different from last year! In 2022, swamps were my most used basics and plains were my least. Somehow, they've switched places. I am a bit baffled that I managed to do that accidentally. At least mountains continue to do well? I don't know. I feel like...

I'm excited to be back again for my fifth annual entry in this series. I don't really know whether it's true, but I feel like I'm getting better at putting these together. In fact, when I collapsed all of the thousands of individual spreadsheet cells into a column for tallying up card usage for...

Although I got a bit manascrewed and didn't survive my last game of the year with this deck, I did live long enough for Anarchist to loop Wrath of God a couple of times.

Won a long game with this deck last night. After opening with Mishra's Workshop into Mind Stone and Drillworks Mole, things started to go awry. I was not drawing artifacts, so the Workshop was dead weight. The card that kept me in the game was Agatha's Soul Cauldron. Exiling my own Drillworks...

Played a proper PreDH game with this deck. It was looking dicey at first, but Decree of Pain on a clogged board set me up to begin using Worm Harvest to take over.

Technically, I've piloted this deck again. Probably doesn't really count though. A couple of us were stuck with no pods available at the game store, so we did a 1-on-1 PreDH while waiting for more players to arrive. My opponent quickly realized that his Thelon of Havenwood deck was poorly...

-1 Meekstone +1 Extraplanar Lens One last revision for the year. I actually had no plans to work on this deck. While opening a sealed precon to poach Descendants' Fury for my Zirilan deck, I cracked open the "collector booster sample pack" that came in the box. It just so happened to have a...

-1 Wall of Roots -1 Cyclopean Tomb -1 Vexing Puzzlebox -1 Mosswort Bridge +1 Arixmethes, Slumbering Isle +1 Everflowing Chalice +1 Lux Cannon +1 Karn's Bastion Still haven't taken this one apart yet, so I might as well see if I can improve it for any future games.

-1 Hellkite Charger -1 Thermopod +1 Skyline Despot +1 Descendants' Fury Cutting a couple of cards that I just don't use in actual gameplay for some new additions that might accomplish more.

-1 Forest +1 Shire Terrace This change is unlikely to ever matter, but I do want as many fetchlands as I can reasonably cram in here, just in case I don't get one of the good ones in my hand.
