I brought this deck to states:

4 Birds of (Para-para) Paradise
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Mystic Snake
4 Opposition
4 Squirrel Nest
4 Counterspell
3 Fact or Fiction
3 Flametongue Kavu
2 Shivan Wurm
2 Call of the Herd
2 Spellbane Centaur
8 Island
7 Forest
4 Yavimaya Coast
2 Shivan Reef
2 Karplusian Forest
1 Mountain (should've been a Karplusian/Reef)

SB:
4 Gainsay
3 Jungle Barrier
3 Hull Breach
3 Kavu Chamelion
1 Spellbane Centaur
1 Meekstone (yes, I know, but I couldn't find a 4th centaur, and I didn't have any uncommons on me. :()

I pretty much took the basic U/G oppo build, stuck in Nests, and splashed red, if it wasn't obvious enough to ya.

Looking back on it, the Calls really didn't help me as much as the FTKS/Wurms did. I played some good players, I played some bad players, (no R/G, so I have no idea how it does vs it), but vs other opp builds, I went something like 3-0 in matches and 6-1 in games vs them in the swiss. (Well, I did lose to the same deck I beat 2-0 in first round of T8). Speaking of T8, I MADE IT TO THE TOP 8!!!! :D :D :D :D :D I also was #1 in standings from 5-7th rounds. (out of 7 rounds.)

If you were gonna play this deck, I might take out the calls (at first , I only ran 2 because of the fact that no one had em for trade), and change the Mountain to a Karplusian / Reef. Also, I'd mess with the SB to something like -4 Gainsay, -1 Meekstone, +1 Spellbane Centaur, +2-3 Obliterate +1-2 Mask of Intolerance/Urza's Rage. (Yes, I did see about 10 well-built domain decks out there, out of a 100 man field, which is 10%. Wow, I'm good at math. :))

Since the JSS is coming up next sunday, I'm probably going to play the deck with those changes, and I'll post how I do. (With my luck, I'll do horribly, but oh well. ;) )

COOL!

I wasn't there, as you might can tell...

But I'll be at the Grand Prix, so enter a booster draft to see me. I'm not going to have on my Tales from the Crypt shirt on, as I'll be working the floor... This'll be my first time working on a big tournament...

To answer questions on why I'm not going to be playing, I'll use a one-symbol answer that might solve all questions:

Actually, lack therof. I hope to meet alla ya'll there! i'm hoping for quite a bit! :{ )
