Grats on Day 2! Can't wait!
Dunno how relevant, but Ari Lax went 8-1. Not sure if he's playing storm but he should be.
Tear it up Bryant. Ari Lax is playing UB ANT as per usual which isn't surprising to me at all.
we can't wait for it!Quote:

Anyone close with AJ K.? i heard he made some player mistakes and was just wondering what they were. It's fun following that kid.
I always find it interesting that although Bryant's TES and Ari's ANT lists are very different, the two players seem to consistently do well. Unfortunately, this makes it a lot more difficult for me to decide on the best one. :)
A blue deck without FoW or Counterbalance just took first in the GP in Binghamton, NY.

You storm players are slacking. Are you just waiting for everyone to get comfortable before destroying the meta game?
I 2-0'd Ari Lax playing storm with that exact 75 at Providence.Quote:

Bryant, you better post some kind of report for the GP
Realistically, both games were over had I known you didn't play Force, G1 the play I made beat Force but lost to a 2nd Vendillion or a Karakas and you had the 2 outer, and G2 you drew out of a mull to 5 before I did despite being a 12-4 favorite in cantrip counts. I also got greedy G1 and ran my Thoughtseize into a Daze based on having extra cantrips, which may or may not have made a difference or been wrong.Quote:

Dude, it doesn't matter, I 2-0'd storm easily, I have a great Storm match up.Quote:

That being said, I definitely think this Bant list is insanely good, and if it gets popular, TES and ANT will come back in a big way.

Once storm comes back, Countertop decks will start to re-emerge from the depths. Perhaps people are tired of Countertop and wanted to play other control decks (hence the lack of countertop decks).
Or, you know, merfolk has never been more played.Quote:
