That's game. I don't have an answer for that. I never had enough time to set up w/ this deck. Good Match. I'm sure you'll do well in the format.

Good Game, man!

I like your deck, but after consistently re-reading your draftlist during the match I figured that you wouldn't be able to draw into enough removal and answer for the amount of threats that my deck packs. It seemed that there were too many soft answers that I would be able to get around.

Tarmogoyf in both games kinda helped out, too.

I didn't do a good job of drafting - at least not against the decks in the format... it's a fun deck if it works, and it can be effective... but not against the well tuned decks.

If (and it's a huge if) I'd had a single extra turn each game, maybe I could have set up... and I don't think going first would help since I also need to deny cards as part of my strategy. Tarmgoyf was the lynchpin... I coulda lasted a turn or two more, but it wouldn't have mattered.

It didn't help that you were drafting blue against 5 others players... who surrounded you in draft order on all sides, at least two deep.


For the record, my last hand was those two other basic lands and Garruk Wildspeaker.

I'm kinda disappointed that I never got to play Teneb in this tourney...
