this weeks FNM, I challenge all of you to buy and play with just a precon (besides 10th edition) and win first.

Its not the cards its the player!

Post the deck your using.

I'll try which ever shows up to be the worst on the poll, I porbably wont win but I'll try.

well I'm not saying all of them are bad just take my challenge and post the deck you'll use. And if you don't and say you did, well thats ok but that would be lying, theres no prize just a friendly challenge. I know I wont win out of the 16 regulars at my magic shop I only win about 1/5 with my normal deck so I wont win with a precon.

Actually...it's 3 levels of skill:

1 - how you play the deck.
2 - how you build the deck
3 - how you respond to the meta

soooo...you're only going off of one aspect that defines a good player...you need all 3. This may work at SOME FNMs...but most wont unless your lucky enough to have a none tier1 environment.

I thinks if you dislike the tier1 decks and such, try limited.

I don't think there is any deck building skill involved, since the deck come p-r-e-c-o-n-s-t-r-u-c-t-e-d.

ransom and verd... quite clearly she is illustrating that 3 things identify a good player. playing a precon allows for only 1 of them. you are at a clear disadvantage.

the way i challenge myself at FNM is build 3 decks on friday. (i happen to have a free schedule).
give the best 2 to other people who you convince to come "since ill make u a deck" and then you play the worst of them. only allowance of repeats is if they request the same deck.
this week UW fish is #1
UG timewalk is #2
and i wont decide on my deck til tomorrow Smile

I just thought it might be fun to try. If everybody wants to be a poor sport and not stop playing competitively for one day, well thats fine.
