Yea in your face to people who thought Solar Flare was bad =\ ...even though that SB needs a little re-working and all 4 Castigates should be MD

Props to all in top8. I'm pleased to see Red Deck Wins is fighting there, even thou' that he doesn't run Ghost Quarters MD and no Blood Moon SB. Also i'm surprised by the lack of Dredge decks... Only 1 was in contention. It seems really good in the current meta game, recursive threats and Life from the Loam + Ghost Quarter is really strong.

Once again, props to top8 and remember, Sulfur Elemental is the king.

In my opinion Judge, Solar Flare isn't a great deck, he has bad matchups with a lot of decks...

netdeckers strike again

---

by Shagrath on 2007-03-26 10:58 MDT

ty for the top8 for being so original, amazing i don't see a single netdeck.
Who is this random "Vlada" (whatever that means) and why is he bashing ppl for being better than him?
I can´t see the reason......but yeah, lets also congrat Vlada for qualifying in a 10 ppl nats for Worlds.

---

by FlyingFreak on 2007-03-26 11:21 MDT

What do you people have against netdecks ? The players who plays best with the deck just own (take a look at pollo), so stfu and practice your playskills ...

by Eldariel on 2007-03-26 12:53 MDT

It's funny how westerners just give up good decks like BoW and Solar Flare and then Japanese pwn everyone with them and westerners pick 'em up again for a while until they think they've done something innovative up until when Japanese win with theirs YET again.

---

by Blah234 on 2007-03-26 13:35 MDT

Solar Flare has a lot of bad match-ups? Like what? Say the deck and why Flare is bad vs it. Ppl who said Tron - the most they said is Spell Burst. Hmmm Flare has Quarters to stop the Tron, Castigates and Persecutes, Angels and SB Annexes and CoP Red. Oh yea Flare def sucks =/

---

by TylerTMK on 2007-03-26 13:51 MDT

detritivore pwns flare

---

by Abunas on 2007-03-26 14:04 MDT

i took the deck from Gp in japan, but thats what we all do right? at least if you want to get a decent result.
i took the deck 5 min before the tourny just to play a standard tourny for fun.

---

by ptealixpaint on 2007-03-26 14:06 MDT

Rofl @ all these hardcore netdecks.

by Blah234 on 2007-03-26 14:55 MDT

Hmm, Detritivore pwnz Flare? Oh Flare can run several basics in it's mana base and it already run several signets and an even remotely effective Detritivore comes out mid game and by that time, Flare can have some good basics/signets out so how would Detritivore do much? I faced it with Flare and it basically just killed the extra mana that I didn't really need.

---

by center425 on 2007-03-26 15:05 MDT

hmm, i'd listen to tyler

---

by SarcasticRat on 2007-03-26 15:15 MDT

Let's give props to the real winner of this trial. Of course I'm talking about Wiley, who beat a Tron player in round one playing 300 Card Zoo.

---

by Blah234 on 2007-03-26 15:22 MDT

Point is, Solar Flare and DStorm > Tron. Period. Saying Detritivore pwnz Flare is pretty stupid and seriously, play the match several times with Flare having 4 Castigates and 2-3 Persecute MD and 4 Annex and 3 CoP: Red SB. Tron won't win unless Flare gets a busted draw

---

by Russell_Nash on 2007-03-26 16:15 MDT

5 top 8 UR-trons....flipping ridiculous. that archetype is supposed to be dead...

Congratulations to all you guys who are so massively swayed by tournament results of recent tournaments and your lack of imagination for modifications. And also congrates to all you other player who should have seen this coming an were unable to capitalize on it.

PS: all you extirpate fan-boys; where is your hero now?

by GTKID on 2007-03-26 18:01 MDT

I love deck critique from the peanut gallery. Get a life, not every deck list is gonna agree card for card with what you think it should be.

by PsyK on 2007-03-26 20:56 MDT

Which is better in MR Agro? Gruul or Rakdos Guildie? Also i think brute force is slightly better than shock. Then again i'm not top 8'ing am i :P

---

by poopascoopa on 2007-03-26 20:57 MDT

The amount of netdecking morons around here is getting out of hand. Doesn't ANYONE try to be a little creative and build their own deck?

---

by sandoiche on 2007-03-26 21:41 MDT

No.

---

by Snack on 2007-03-26 21:49 MDT

Props on the UBr tron deck. Otherwise, this tournament is pretty much useless in terms of information.

---

by Fanboy on 2007-03-26 22:30 MDT

Theres gonna be a shit load of detrivore and blood moon decks in next t2 trial to offest all the tron net decking.

Bah...they keep throwing my BW orzhov under control...it's aggro/control

---

by Egnirys on 2007-03-26 22:36 MDT

You can try to, and either:
a) get your ass handed to you by decks that multiple people have worked on for weeks or months of tweaking and improving each other's designs, or otherwise ripped off the Japanese
or,
b) spend weeks or months tweaking your own creative deck to be just as good as the others when you could just, well, rip off the Japanese.

by misterhappy on 2007-03-27 02:32 MDT

Congratz to all the winers!!!Tronz rules!!!

---

by Balthazar88 on 2007-03-27 04:10 MDT

@ Psyk: I would say Gruul, but on the flipside doesn't either of them have a good syenergy with Magus of the Scroll. The guildmages wants you to deploy all lands in your hand, while the Magus wants you to keep that last land in your hand. Keldon Marauders is actuly quite good in the meta game with Control running around (w/ Repeal). Shock seems > Brute Force to me. Brute Force might be better in the mirror, but the meta is controly as we see.

@ Maga75: The Solifuge is a great card, but I do give Mindblaze credit for keeping the curve down to 3. Also, by not playing with Solifuge, you get space to play with Sulfur Elemental. Nuff said.

---

by Mindblaze on 2007-03-27 07:16 MDT

It's all about consistency, with just 20 lands you don't get 4 for Solifuge when you need to play it. I had Keldon Marauders first, but they didn't impress me at all, Gruul Guildmage has proven to be far superior in every way. My sideboard was useless (didn't use a single card) but the MD is perfect.

---

by Kaesh on 2007-03-27 09:17 MDT

ok cockburglar :D

---

by Russell_Nash on 2007-03-27 11:30 MDT

Mindblaze: i like the storageland/demonfire SB. What matchups did/would you bring this in for? something with a little lifegain?

Gruul Guildmage is crazy underrated

---

by Mindblaze on 2007-03-28 10:10 MDT

Glad to see you've grown up so much since imagic, Polish guy :)

Russell: the sb was for white control decks like Solar Flare and Angelfire, who might play COPs. It's only based on theory though, never actually tried it.

---

by Mirage on 2007-03-28 12:28 MDT

What happened to my beautiful magic league metagame? it was so fun.

---

by Alandariel on 2007-03-31 20:21 MDT

Congrats everyone.

Mindblaze, question please. What do you do against CoP: Red? I was playing SRA for awhile and the first time someone dropped a CoP I decided to stop playing it.
