    )

    anyway i went 3-0 getting my first season 11 qp split the last draft i did and it didnt record so no report on it

    Matches

    round one was against r/b aggro he went satyr rambler and a few small guys i curve hopeful eidolon into battlewise hoplite into ordeal of heliod and he cant recover.
    Game 2 is much the same except i go hoplite into ordeal of thassa into wingsteed both with aqeuos forms
    MAtch 2
    he seems to be on a g/b ramp plan i go vaporkin into ordeal of heliod into wingsteed rider while he durdles with ground dudes and doesnt do much.

    Game 2 was less interesting as i go hoplite ordeal of thassa into concession (he was stuck on one land mull to 4)
    MAtch 3

    game 1

    nothing much to write about my deck is loving me and im lucky with my openers i curve hoplite into ordeal into wingsteedand seal the game

    game 2
    now this was a game it actaully lasted longer then 3 minutes
    i drop hopfeul eidolon planning to ordeal it turn 2 he drops nothing i draw hoplite cast the hoplite with plans to suit it up my opponent drops big dumb rock guy that blocks for days with 6 toughness, i suit up hoplite and swing in he blocks i pass he drops another blocker, i draw my aqoues form and swing for the fences.i get him down to 1 with his board filling up hes on his 6 land drop what is it but elspeth he wipes my board of big dudes( he had cured my widolon earlier so i only have hoplite)i play flying nymph and he makes 3 dudes passes to em i go to swing nymph he has a cure but in my hand i have a gods willing to win me the draft.

    I didnt see a minotaur list yet for theros seems like a fairly strong tribe in good removal colors to me at least I have not done sideboard work yet as the meta is still up for grabs but here is my take on it
