I had a fantastic moment last night that caught the attention of a small crowd of people at FNM.

My opponent played Krenko's Command, then Krenko. The next turn, he played a second Krenko's Command and copied it with Reverberate and passed to me, ready to make an army of Goblins that could attack the next turn and he casually remarks, "I guess I could get really blown out if you cast Bonfire."

During my draw, I peek, then flip over the top card of my library - Bonfire of the Damned. I make sure it's enough to completely clear his side of the table and he's just in disbelief.

"WHY did I have to call that out?"

The next game didn't go well and he lost the match. Next round I get paired up to the guy who was sitting just to his left and he is also playing a Goblins deck. He's basically ready to concede, having watched the other deck lose to mine 2-0. I do, in fact, manage to beat him in two games.

I ended up 3-0-1 at the end of the night, good enough to get enough store credit to pay for the next three Standard tournaments. Last week I did the same thing, so I'm "going infinite" at FNM in July; the rest of July + all of August will be free. I was playing Naya Pod, if you're curious.

That epic Miracle came off the heels of winning a match I had no business winning, except my opponent didn't realize that attacking with Odric and Hero of Bladehold didn't let him decide blockers, so I blocked both of them and killed them both in combat (losing only one Wolf token, while a second lived and a Ravager of the Fells remained as well).


Because magic nowadays is less about skill and just drawing your cards in the right order ;D

Bonfires have given me several awesome moments during FNM, especially after top 4 cut. Several games where it's literally the only thing left in my deck that would win me the game/save my ass that exact turn, and I draw and that's exactly what it is.

I seem to have pretty good luck drawing the exact card that I need when I need them now.

You only have a set amount of time to randomize your deck (shuffle) and people can call a judge on you if they don't feel you've done that.

Re: Battle of Wits, read THIS.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Of course I get good with a draft format just as it's waning. I'm doing very well with AVR x3 online - not quite "infinite", but really close. I just won an 8-4 AND got a foil Entreat the Angels to boot.

My strategy has been exceedingly simple:

Draft U/G, W/G, or R/W whenever possible. Unless I open a black bomb rare (Demonic Uprising, Dark Imposter), don't get into black. Prioritize 2-drops over almost everything else. Develop a good curve. Draft as many creatures as you can.

For the prereleases for RTR and Gatecrash, you will get a Guild pack with 5 boosters from that set, one Guild booster (all cards are the two colors from that guild) with that guild's prerelease card, and a guild spin down die. You will also be able to play with the prerelease card.


So many walkers........so tired of them in every set in multiple numbers

Sadly at stores you can sell most played duals for slightly less then NM. His buy prices need to be raised on the Played duals.

Ya at events people are more desperate to trade in stuff so they can get the cards they need for decks.

Given he admits to being a store and needing a % for profit, they don't look to bad really, saw one or two that seemed overly low, but meh.

Seen stores offer much much worse on Duals before, not even accounting for condition.

got it for 20K inc 3500 rares from various sets (many trash 4th)

In a little while, THIS should link to the results of my latest foray into a Standard daily online.

In a few days, I'll be going to Las Vegas for the SCG Open and testing my luck there.

They haven't updated the list yet. Well, I went 4-0 with a somewhat questionable list in Standard (NayaPod).

What was questionable about it? I love NayaPod. It's earned me two wins and a split at FNMs to earn enough store credit to play until after Return to Ravnica comes out.

I was testing out different builds in the Tournament practice room and didn't put the deck back to its original configuration before signing up for the Standard Daily.

So, this was my deck for four rounds:

4 Avacyn's Pilgrim
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
3 Strangleroot Geist
4 Blade Splicer
2 Borderland Ranger
2 Huntmaster of the Fells
1 Solemn Simulacrum
4 Restoration Angel
1 Acidic Slime
1 Zealous Conscripts
1 Wolfir Silverheart
1 Wurmcoil Engine
1 Sun Titan
1 Elesh Norn

4 Birthing Pod

4 Gavony Township
4 Cavern of Souls
4 Copperline Gorge
4 Razorverge Thicket
6 Forest
1 Mountain
1 Plains


I was wondering if the Sun Titan would give the deck added value in a scenario like this:

T1: Copperline Gorge, Avacyn's Pilgrim
T2: Razorverge Thicket, Blade Splicer
T3: Forest, pay 2 life, Birthing Pod, Pod Blade Splicer into Huntmaster
T4: Pod Huntmaster into Zealous Conscripts (untap Birthing Pod), Pod Zealous Conscripts into Sun Titan, return Blade Splicer to Play.
T5: Pod Sun Titan into Elesh Norn.

I now have an Avayn's Pilgrim, two Golem tokens, a Wolf Token, and Elesh Norn. I can attack with everything but Elesh Norn for 18.

It was a cute, overkill, win-more thought that didn't play out that way in testing and every single game 2, I immediately switched Sun Titan for a Huntmaster of the Fells from my sideboard.

4 Birthing Pod is also highly suspect, as is the complete lack of Bonfire of the Damned between main and side (I don't have enough tix to get them at the moment, as I spent it on other pieces of the deck).

I hope that was a single elimination split.
