I'm still enjoying it (of course I love aggro). Still pulling crap (well back to back Library of Alexandra, a whopping 3 tix each).

I've come off the U/G madness decks a little (they seem overdrafted) and focusing more on aggro. Up on white a little now too. Some of those white weenie decks are quite good.

Here is my current deck. 2-0 and about to start finals.

Not enough creatures and LoA doesn't really make sense, but I'm a sucker for playing cool cards

I joined a swiss queue recently bc I wanted to play something fun....

I drafted this masterpiece

Creatures

1xSu-Chi
1xSymbiotic Wurm
2xPsychatog
2xElvish Abberation
1xPredatory Nightstalker
2xArrogant Wurm
1xDeranged Hermit
2xKeeneye Aven
1xSerendib Efreet

Spells

1xFact or Fiction
2xFrantic Search
2xCircular Logic
1xChainers Edict
1xSurvival of the Fittest
1xLiving Death
1xGaea's Embrace
1xAnimate Dead


LAND

4xSwamp
4xForest
4xIsland
2xTranquil Thicket
1xLonely Sandbar
1xBarren Moor
1xBazaar of Baghdad


This deck was slow, but fun, only lost to a G/B aggro deck.

Had some really cute interactions, obviously w Living Death...but also just jamming Embrace on a Psychatog out of nowhere and doming my opponent with a 20/21 trampling regenerator.

Also, forest cycling Aberration into next turn Animate Dead to gas into a Symbiotic Wurm...then cast Living Death after I fill the bin a bit....turns out you get 7 1/1 insects on top of what you got in the graveyard.

Anyone else still having fun with this

Finally broke my p9 slump (which was considerable), by cracking a Sapphire.

Here's my average/weird/fun Grixis deck:

I might make a VMA draft guide. I'll let you guys review it and tear it apart.

Edit:

Yeah I went turn 2 Specter

Yeah its in the regular limited queues now. I've heard it will be up until Khans of Tarkir releases online (which is October sometime if I recall).

Oh so basically anything in VMA except power is going to be cheap for a decade. Sigh.

Well good news on that front, they announced VMA will only be available to draft for 2 more weeks (packs still available til October).

Prices are already rebounding a bit (specially p9)
