I know there are some of you out there that know all the in's and out's of how to search using specialized commands. I would sincerely like to request your help. I am looking to search for modern legal Green and/or White and/or Black creatures with toughness > power.
Went a depressing 3-4-drop at SCG Minn. I won the first round, lost second, then repeated till my fourth loss and was just mentally exhausted from it after feeling super confident.
R1: BYE
R2: win, 2-0: Big Tribal Zoo.
R3: win, 2-1: Jund. Lingering souls is sweet here.
R4: win, 2-1: budget storm. No pyromancer ascension, and had young pyro and stuff like battle hymn, burn at the stake, and other token makers
So realistically my two wins were big tribal zoo and Jund. Kind of debating taking out one courser and maybe one lingering souls from the main for siege rhino, and changing a choke to time reinforcements. Probably shouldn't and should just play the list I know but burn is real bad with my build. idk.
Went 1-2 Last night. Burn is suuuuuper rough with my build. I'm pretty much throwing away that match up.
R1: win, 2-0: Monoblack 8rack
R2: loss, 0-2: Burn
R3: loss, 1-2: UWR control (should have one this but miscounted his lands and didn't realise he had enough mana for a colonade activation)
So far a lot of my losses are coming from little misplays. Hopefully playing a lot this week has been helping to get them out of my system.
Probably won't have any write-ups this on weekly modern. In preparation for SCG Minn I am playing modern every single night this week at 6 different shops. Which Means go to owrk, come home for dinner, go play magic, come home and sleep. So I do have at least Rounds and win losses.
