[Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

[bokwinkle]

Scoop the finals to a friend and on I go, Byes, trops, and 2 Savannah's which I gave to the fish player that scooped to me in round 6 (He didn't ask for them, but I was appreciative to say the least)...

Congrats Bok on the win. I recently read an article on fanatic about sharing your booty to those who scoop, that if you mention you'll compensate to the player you actually can end up with a DQ. No es bueno.

Yeah, sharing prizes with opponents isn't good if they ask for it or if you offer it prior to or during the match, then it's bribery or collusion...bad stuff. My opponent scooped to me in Round 6 simply because we had fun playing and he realized i wasn't a comple D-bag and he wanted to give me a chance. Pretty nice of him considering it was the first time he'd ever played against me or even met me and lived over 2 hours away so he had no reason to care about me holding a grudge for dream-crushing me. I give this guy a lot of credit, because at no time did i even ask if he'd scoop to me, and at no time did I mention that he didn't stand a chance of getting in. I basically decided it was a conversation I didn't want to have since the guy i played in round 5 asked me at least twice if I'd scoop since he'd have a better chance of getting in and he kind of pissed me off, noone wants to be reminded that their chances of winning suck. I feel like scooping someone into Top 8 is a pretty classy move, but asking to be scooped in is pretty shady.

This was just a classy move by a classy player who was also very good at magic. Even after the match he didn't ask for prizes, I gave him the cards un-solicited, so it's all good.

It is in no way against any rules to give cards to players, it's when they ask for the cards to give you wins that it becomes very bad. Hell, I give cards to players all the time - usually new players with no cards - but if anyone ever accused me of bribery or collusion they would have a hell of fight on their hands.

Nice job!

What was your list?

...To see my decklist, look a few pages back, and change the sideboard by going -3 Mindbreak Trap, -1 Ethersworn Canonist, -1 edict and replacing them with +2 Extirpate, and +3 Null rod. My team and I saw a lot of people testing affinity before the tourney started, and in previous testing affinity just curb-stomps my build, so I needed a plan, and Null rod seemed like a good one. I felt that reducing the number of mindbreak traps dilluted their effectiveness, but I felt I still needed at least 5 cards against combo...so I went to the 3/2 Canonist/Extirpate split...
