His new Zur deck is fucking disgusting. It got so bad I had to Plague Wind it while it was the only creature on the field.
So apparently no one’s figured out how to draft Dragon’s Maze yet because everyone did pretty horrible tonight. I went 2-2, and one of those wins was from a draw that went to turns. Remind me to never play Esper again.
After the draft I ended up in a 4-way EDH match playing my Ghave against a Vorel, Exava and a Hanna. Vorel got scary real quick, but Hanna was dishing out boardwipes like it was his job. Meanwhile I’m over here diddling around with my tokens until I pump up Beastmaster Ascension and drop a Grave Pact and no one could stop me at that point and I ran away with the game.
Extort was dominating, as expected. Poor Izzet and Dimir players got wrecked though. This is going to be a fun environment to draft in though.
This is my favorite Magic card. It’s not even all that great any more, I just love using it.
You are a Samurai (CAIG)
Competitive Aggresive Inflexible Game-playerYou are an aggressive powerful warrior who loves to make bold attacks on your opponents. You get a lot enjoyment out of the game, but you want more than just to play for fun. Your aim is to compete and you compete to win. Your focus is locked onto your game. You build decks that bring you victory. You don’t waste your time messing about with experimental or weird combinations - you want the deck that’s going to help you win. That means picking the right cards and using them the right way. You’re quite prepared to get the basic structure for your deck from somebody else - the important thing isn’t where it comes from, it’s the performance you get out of it that counts.
I don’t think I’m that competitive like it describes, but everything else is spot-on.
You couldn’t pay me to play this in constructed. The only thing I think this would be good for is a Rhys the Redeemed EDH deck.And I thought the Izzet one was disappointing…
It’s a mockup like the last few we’re (which turned out to be right), but I hope this one isn’t true.
Story-wise, it wouldn’t make sense. Her creatures are totally destructible and she is touted to make her own repeatedly!
Maze’s End by Cliff Childs
I know I’ll have to specifically build a deck around this, but I really want to pull off that alternate win condition at least once.
To me this is the most fun champion to come out from the Dragon’s Maze spoilers so far, but I’m still holding out for a cool Tajic though.
Dear Wizards,
More dinosaurs.
Love, Mike
First one I managed to get up to 31 life and get him down to 5 through Extort, but he ended up throwing Forced Adaptation on a Simic Manipulator and stole 8 of my Extort creatures and ended up beating me with sheer board presence.
The second really bad one I just happened to somehow draw into 11 lands in a row, even though I was only running 18 in a 40-card deck. It was a shitshow.
I didn’t make it to Top 4, but besides those two matches I didn’t do too bad tonight. Also, Mortus Strider is way fun with Extort.
