Feb 4, 2014Shriez posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card out of every card in this game would have to be Thundermare. It may not be among the best or the strongest cards, but it was the first card I ever pulled from a booster pack of Portal all the way back in 1998. I still have that same Thundermare to this day.Posted in: Announcements

4 Mirran Crusader
2 Wilt-Leaf Liege
1 Creeping Corrosion
1 Fracturing Gust
1 Sigarda, Host of Herons
What works: Sigarda puts in work when I get her on the field, especially when combined with a Liege. Restoration Angel has been good to nullify enemy removal, also gives me another flying threat or defense against Lingering Souls. Avacyn's Pilgrim has been a good budget alternative to Noble Hierarch because I don't have $200 to get them.
What doesn't work: Aven Mindcensor has been lacking in the results department, and I'm thinking of either moving them to the side or cutting them from the 75 entirely. If they do move to the side I will replace them with either 2 Mirran Crusaders or a 3rd Liege and the second Sigarda.

Once my Voices arrive they will replace the Gaddock Teeg and Sigarda. There were only 3 matches this time but it was good to get a feel for how to play the deck.
Round 1 (2-0)
I didnt get to see much of what his deck did but I did see Lotus Cobra, Dragonmaster Outcast, and Thundermaw Hellkite come out on his side.
Round 2 (Twin, 2-0)
He burns and Snapcasters my Thalias and Pridemage, but I manage to stick Scooze on the field and feed every creature in the graves to him and Path his Pestermite before he can cast Twin. 2nd game he gets down an early Blood Moon but cant draw a Pestermite or Exarch and I eventually take him down.
Round 3 (Jund, 0-2)
I got really unlucky with draws the entire first game. Decent opening hand, then drew every 4 cost card in my deck while he went triple Goyf and made me discard any playable cards I had. Second game I side in 3 Mirran Crusaders but fail to see a single one or Path to Exile to deal with his Olivia and he ends up stealing every creature I have.

My hardest matchup so far is Abzan Whip simply because of the Hornet Queen tokens. I'm thinking of putting in Anger of the Gods or Bile Blight into the main deck, likely removing Harness By Force and Hordling Outburst.

1 Meddling Mage
4 Brave the Elements
4 Aether Vial
2 Hindering Light
The single copies of Flooded Strand and Windswept Heath are the only ones I own. I'm thinking of trying out Kira, Great Glass-Spinner if I can trade for a copy. I'm also going to try and get more Meddling Mages.
I also found another card from Shards of Alara I will be testing: Hindering Light. It's not as good as Brave the Elements for saving creatures, but it also can be used on myself or non-creature permanents, and it replaces itself when I cast it. I'm thinking of trying out 3 copies to see how it fares, then either cut to 2 or up to 4.
