This was posted in the Flores article today on mtg.com...looks like an interesting deck. What do you guys think? Does it need tweaking, does it even have potential or was he just lucky? I actually have all the cards for it and am totally unsure what to play for Extended next week, and it seems like it could be good..

I tested the deck and it seems really good it does pretty damn good with against aggro and my toughest match up so far was gifts rock but i still got it done and won so the deck seems good

I played VS. the deck in the first round of top 8 agianst that deck. Lost 2-1. I got 6th, i was the first BW aggro to top 8 in the ptq's this season. i feel pround even though t8 in a ptq that small ain't shit. But it is a good deck, i thought it plays just like Flores GW hatorade with trinket mage in it, its quite good.
But got crushed vs Tron Razz

I'm looking at the ptq lists, and it says it lost to No-Stick...it doesn't seem like it would be THAT bad of a m-u, if you could resolve chalice of the void for 1, or 2, or both...that card really seems to be the icing on the cake, screwing over aggro loam, boros, etc..even a lot of cards in trinket angel (that are at two for counterbalance). I think I'm going to give the deck a shot.

Can you tell me more about your match? Were they close games (particularly the game you won)? Obviously I'll just have to pick it up and play it, but I'm not sure how it'll play against any given deck I face...thanks

You can see my decklist on wotc's website.
It really wasn't that close, i got crushed game 1 by double call double flashback. game 2 was close, i had a key top deck disenchat to kill pithing needle on my Jitte and Jitte+Confidant eventually overwhelmed him, game 3 armidillo cloaked guy wins race vs my swarm of guys.

The GWu deck is desinged for a aggro heavy envirment, its was just too slow vs no stick and just got locked out both games.
