Guessing no else really cares lol. Well as for the deck even with that horrid t8 match at fnm its still was showing how strong it was before that so i have faith in this bad boy for states. As for the sb i took out the shriekmaw for a second thresher so faeries is even better i hope now lol. Other then that anything else on the deck would be great

The Grand Prix is the weekend after so I had to pick one based on family availability.

Good Luck

No not really i like how it runs just with me it goes dumb with anyone else like all my decks they work lol. I mean i think the deck is fine ya i know the problem i might face against control game 1 but i think its fine with how my board is set up i will be fine

When you optimize a deck, you shouldn't be content when it merely "works fine". Optimizing is optimizing even if it becomes a different deck in the process.

actually i've been playing this deck alot magicbmx and i've gotta say it destroys everything except random stupid reveillark decks and stupid UBW kelpie decks.

Ved i work very different then most players. I go at testing my way and well as i see its fine. YEs i will still tweak it if it needs it ok. Well if control becomes huge in a week then well ya it gets a huge makeover maindeck but as of right now it runs well

ok i know magicbmx irl and let me tell u guys he's a bit of an odd ball so don't rag on his testing strategies or how he tests or how optimal his decks r because they are the most optimal without giving an inch.

yes they work just they like going land flood or stunt lol. Though tonight it still was like that but worked enough to split for first. though such bad draws not from the deck some on me and others the lands either didnt come or thats all i drew lol

magicbmx which shop did u go to last night? BTW the only deck i see u having trouble with is still that stupid river kelpie deck......

Last night was extreme like most nights. Kelpie is one of the decks big problem childs. RWD with me it seems is another one and so is bg rock. Faeries isnt a cake walk for it either but isnt in the opps area more like the dog fight wheres its 35/65

actually i've been testing ur list alot and BG rock, RDW, and faeries seem to be very easy games the only decks i lose to is that stupid kelpie.dec where the guy doesn't even need to know what he's doing to play it.....but 2nd turn runed halo naming raven's crime helps that matchup alot.

rdw isnt as bad as a good gb deck but yes kelpie is like a bad thing coming. Even with halo out just the fact of all they can do with the deck is just crazy. I really like how i have the deck setup right now just well like always decks hate me before states lol
