1. Keep politics out of magic
2. What happened to Travis Woo and the magic for bad group is outrageous. It was closed, private group for people to say whatever they wanted to without hurting anyone. Emma Handy literally had to create a fake profile, and then ask to be added. If that is the lengths you will go to to be offended, then have a good look in the mirror.
3. Public defamation of a person is bad, continual harassment is worse. But worse than both of those things by far is Fascism. Which is ecactly what Eric Frohlich called for when he suggested a group of likeminded individuals sweep the mean streets of the internet looking for people thinking wrongthink and DCI banning them. Hitler had that kind of political supression squad. It also happened in the French revolution. Reddit is also a hive of scum and villainy. "If you have any thoughts cotrary to those of the moderators, you are banned, no matter how reasonable or thoughtfully constructed. Echo chamber or bust"
What Jeremy did was wrong. Some of what has happened in it's wake is crazy, and makes me fear for the future.

Game 1 against blue moon I was burried in cryptics and snaps, game 2 turn 3 Thrun settled things pretty quick. Game 3 I put him down to 4 and I was on 7, but I had 3 huge ground creatures( 2 trackers and a baloth) and no fliers. He had 4 1/1 elementals, 2 thops, 2 torrential gearhulks, and was getting in with thops. I knew i was dead to a bolt or some such so I just did what I could with the trackers to draw ANYTHING that would change the outcome of a race. I had a moon and my opponent only had 1 island (which is why I kept 3 moons in) and it turned out he had no counterspells. A stormbreath or Pia and Kira would have been lethal, Inferno titan would have been lethal in my next turn, Baloth would have swung my life total, same with primal command. But instead the 7 cards I drew over 2 turns before he killed me were 3 land, a relic, 2 utopia sprawls and an Arbor elf:(
Other than that cancerous piece of variance a good night over all.
Double red can be tough on turn 2, and the damage molten rain causes generally either costs us 2 damage (to shock for the double red) or is literally heling our opponent with all the deaths shadow builds
Going wide and presenting blockers is great against shadow and other midrange decks. It's about disrupting their curve then playing a hard to deal with threat early.
Our best threats are imo
The best ones
Tracker
Pia and Kiran Nalaar
Huntmaster
Stormbae
Inferno titan
Wurmcoil engine
Chandra, torch of bae
Other decent ones tht are more meta dependant
Swagtusk
Chameleon colossus
Scavenging ooze
Dragonlord Attarka
Thunderbreak regent
Goblin dark dwellers (as a build around)
Infect is bad, But a turn 2 Pia and Kiran is nigh unbeatable. And bringing in spot removal after SB is obviously decent.
Other tough matches are mono colored decks with focused game plans like Elves, Merfolk and mono white D&T.
Then, in the ultimate game of shame. I lost 2-0 to Breach titan!!!! Game 1 no bloodmoon hand, but a good hand none the less, but the game went a turn too long and I died. Game 2 mull to 6, no moon, but 5 good cards and a ancient grudge (this player is known for his SB cruciables) then I draw a 2nd grudge off the top after bottoming my scry. He wins pretty handily. I am dumb.
Was a rough night. Here's my 'misplay' against U/W and I wanna hear opinions...
My board is Pia and Kiran, 2 Arbor elf, 2 thops. I have 8 mana including the elves, and it's all open. U/w is on 9 life. I have a beast within as my last card. My opponent has no permanents. And has 2 cards in hand after he casts his Gideon of the trials, and ticks up targeting pia and kiran. I tell him I may have responses and I go into the tank.
Line 1. If I throw a thop at my opponent in response, then beast within my own land that had been spreading seas'd in his end step I put him to 1 life in my attack step. If I do not throw the thop but beast within the land anyway he goes to 2. 2 life is no different than 1 for this deck I felt so I didn't want to throw the thop at my opponent. So beast within my land and attack for 7 is line 1...
Line 2. But should I throw both thops at Gideon? Kill the G dog, beast within my land and attack my opponent down to 4 with 2 elves and a beast was the 2nd line.
Line 3. No response to Gideon, cast beast within targeting gideon in my opponents next upkeep, after attacking my opponent for 4 in my turn. Down to 5 life. Depending on what card I draw for turn I guess.
Line 1 has the highest ceiling, but the lowest floor if he has supreme verdict. I went for it... and was punished. Supreme verdict goes boom, and Gideon runs away with the game. I felt it was a strict misplay looking back.
You're missing out on dem sweet free wins.
If you count utopia sprawls as land you will mull less often. Do not count elves as sprawls. It will end in heartbreak.
Crumbum is great against tron. A match where we need no favors.
