I'm still shocked Spiderman's deck didn't kick much ass. I thought it to be the better deck... man, was I wrong or what?
Oh well, that's casual for you.

Argg. That's what I thought you'd do...
Tap the Plow with the Icy during Declare Attack phase, but can't stop all the tokens. Good game
Analysis: My deck definitely needs reset buttons and more ways to deal with permanents, especially enchantments. I think I have a Thwart, but the Balance is what really killed me. Without it, I would have won the first game.
Dead cards: Donate and Cloak of Mists - basically fodder for the Force of Will, since there's only one Carnival of Souls to make the Donate useful. And I never really had enough creatures to make the Cloak worthwhile.

Analysis: The luck of the draw helped me out in every game, as I had BoP and/or Sol Ring in most of my opening hands. I think I drew Balance in every game as well, so luck was there. Also, Celestial Dawn is AMAZING for this deck (I'm glad there are multiples). However, the main advantage this deck has is more game-altering spells: Form of the Dragon, Day of the Dragons, Balance, Decree of Justice, etc. The Academy Rector seemed to always be a target for a counter-spell or Stifle, but that meant one less counter for when I actually cast the big spells. I actually held a Rector for the majority of the last game, for fear of the Dominating Licid. I will say that since I had good mana draws early on, Land Tax, Oath of Lieges, and the like were constantly held in my hand (I had them at the end of that last game). Also, since my focus of the land ended uup being attacking with them, Seismic Assault became useless and I found myself holding it as well.
The big play I wanted to pull out was this: Verdant Touch several lands, Fling an Academy Rector, and search for a Day of the Dragon, turning said lands into giant flying dragons.
Well, I can't wait for the next match with the Casual decks!!!!!!!!
Anyone else have comments for these decks?
