I totally forgot to post about my games from the 24th! Oops. Well, this was my new deck, so I blindly rushed it out...

This was not the game for that. My friend Eric was playing his "Xerox" deck helmed by Xerex Strobe-Knight. I knew he'd be doing this because I brought him some of the older commons he was missing to complete his list. He's almost as experienced with Magic as I am, and more experienced with tournament Magic. So he applies his skill into building some rather degenerate token-spamming decks. The other two players at the table were far less experienced. One was brand new. So they weren't ready and didn't coordinate. My deck was nowhere near fast enough to deal with the army of knight tokens. And to make it even worse, one of the other players was playing that damn Zoyowa Lava-Tongue deck, which as been notorious in our playgroup for dishing out damage to everyone. My life was already less than half before Eric even started attacking me. My deck didn't do well, but wasn't built for this power-level anyway.
