Theros Pre-Release 3-2-1

Well, as it was a midnight release and I had super long games, my ability to update was extremely limited. So from what I remember from round 3: My lifegain went off like crazy (I will post pictures and decklist later on today) in this match, with the Whip of Erebos playing a huge role. I went 1-2 against his blue white. The first game went 35 mins though and he came out on top after his Shipbreaker Kraken hit the field. The next two games went quickly though. Round 4: I played a R/G deck that I went 2-0 against. I had amazing hands and my Reaper of the Wilds and Grey Merchant of Asphodel played huge roles! There was so much synergy it was nasty. Round 5: This guy picked the Path of Ambition as well, and moved from W to a R splash, and played it well. I went 1-1-1 against this guy and it went to time with him at 3 life and me at 12. My opening hand two out of 3 games was just unreal though. I really could have used some trample here. Round 6: Played against a girl that had only been playing for around a month. She did well though and was playing R/G as well. I went 2-1 and only lost the second game due to horrible mana screw. The last game I had to mull down to 5 and then had all the right answers at the right times. I promise I will detail more later, but for right now, its time for the sleep. As always, thanks for reading and we'll see you soon

First Round Theros Pre-Release

Okay, so I picked black. The path of ambition. My rare for my seeded pack was Triad of the Fates, and my supporting color in my packs was by far green. I drew the Bow of Nylea and Reaper of the Wild with the Bow of Erebos in tow. Solid stuff to play with, lots of high mana cost tho. My first match I lost both games, against a guy playing a Minotaur Tribal deck. The first game I mana screwed big time and lost. Second game I played into my Reaper of the Wilds and completely misplayed 6th turn for the loss. We played a third game for fun and I was close, but misplayed a Nemesis of Mortals and lost again, but that game was much closer. My second match the guy dropped, so 2-0 by default. So at this point I am 1-1. Moving forward I am going to be playing much more carefully and hoping to have better matchups. (Live from Main Street Magic and Miniatures)
