my sealed pool SUCKS for this championship

[Kaitscralt]

beat a decent gw deck round 1. fought through a phalanx leader with a hopeful eidolon and leafcrown dryad on it.

[Pedros]

What I did was I downloaded copy from a person who made a lot of 4-0 and 3-1 in daily events. It didnt run any of those, also run paladin and soldier and not angel in the sb.

[LP, of the Fires]

Play and draw your 1 copy of Blind Obediance and you'll beat R/w all the time. I literally cannot beat that card.

[Kaitscralt]

1-2 drop

bad pool, good opponents, that'll do it

[magicdownunder]

Was that Limited Championship or a qualifier?

[Kaitscralt]

championship

i 5-0'd my qualifier

keep up

[magicdownunder]

At least you did better then me, I slept in for my Constructed Championship while two other guys in the forum running my list went and and got 6-2 winning 15 boosters....

[Kaitscralt]

i finished my standard uw deck, if anyone wants to test message me

[imopen2]

Took you long enough I would test sometime

[imopen2]

ok, I want people's opinion on this since it just cost me round 2 of a prelim and I think I made a fine play but maybe it was wrong.

I'm at 8 life after just thoughtseizing my opponent so I know he only has land in hand.

in play I have a 2/5 deathtouch gorgan and he has a 2/2 and a 6/5 trampler. I only have 6 land and none in hand. however, in hand I have a 4 creatures, one of them is the intimidate bestow creature. he draws, and attacks with both dudes. how do you block?

[hamfactorial]

Yeah buddy! 3-1'd a Modern daily, got 6 packs for the clan and a QP. Can I give these to anyone, or are they locked to my account?

[imopen2]

They aren't tradeable

[magicdownunder]

QP are locked sadly, if they weren't I would love to be able to sell QP.

[hamfactorial]

Boo!

[/deck]

I've been smacking people around on MTGO all day. My only losses were once to mono black and once to a janky Esper deck.

[Kaitscralt]

I havne't jumped on the Archangel sideboard plan, seems unnecessary and I don't have the tickets right now to test it. I am waiting for Brimaz.

[Kaitscralt]

the 4th jace might be better than something I have in the main, I personally have never felt great running 4 of a non-Domri planeswalker, i hate dead cards in my hand.

sideboard is good. ratchet bomb, planar cleansing, celestial flare can all be replaced, maybe by brimaz, although i like having at least 1 ratchet bomb around. maybe 1 domestication although it's been winning me mucho games today so i think two is good.

[Kaitscralt]

i will be comparing my list with the GP results and see what i like and dislike.

[imopen2]

in my experience with RtR jace is that the second copy is rarely a dead card. mini FoF is sometimes all you'll be able to use the first one for so the second one will be able to stick

[magicdownunder]

Well I'm in the finals for MOCS1 and MOCS2 I wonder if any of you guys are good enough to join me

Obv. will be grinding for MOCS3 once it hits Weds not sure what build I want to play yet, I may just get a Bx Devotion deck ready or amp up a almost Boros Burn list.

[Kaitscralt]

I will be in a MOCS 2 prelim, it's too late for MOCS 1 and I will start grinding MOCS 3 with Standard.

[Kaitscralt]

in my experience with RtR jace is that the second copy is rarely a dead card. mini FoF is sometimes all you'll be able to use the first one for so the second one will be able to stick

I find I am able to keep my Jace's alive relatively easily in this format, barring Hero's Downfall .

[LaZerBurn]

That's the best (as in hardest to play against) UW list I've seen Kait. I'll hit you up online sometime if you want to play Red decks

[Kaitscralt]

I do, and the list isn't perfect but it's been performing well enough.

[imopen2]

I just played Emerson Spartz (the creator of mugglenet.com) on MODO. I lost of course

[Mcdonalds]

Dammit imopen2 we expect better of you Mr. Deer Jesus

[imopen2]

It was really close. I was playing esper, he was playing big boros. I won game 1 at 2 life, he won game 2 with a boros charm off the top, and he won game 3 with a boros charm when I was at 1 and I could revelation for 3..

[imopen2]

just went 3-1 in the modern daily with soul sister

[Mcdonalds]

Everytime someone plays Soul Sisters, Train sings Hey Soul sister to a scared innocent kitten

[imopen2]

I beat a jund deck, a delver deck, and a burn deck. lost to another jund deck

[imopen2]

so I didn't play against hate-bears or splinter twin which are probably my two work matchups, or pod which is not a great matchup but I've only played it a few times so I'm not sure how bad it is

[Mcdonalds]

prolly bad, although, cant you time them out on mtgo?

is BG Rock still good, need to get a deck together for the ptq season and it gives me an excuse to finish my set of Verdant Catacombs/Marsh Flats

[magicdownunder]

How is Soul Sister vs Jund, Affinity and Pod?

[Kaitscralt]

Soul Sisters sucks

[imopen2]

Jund seems to be a good matchup and so is affinity. Pod, like I said, is probably not a good matchup but I've only played against it a few times.

The deck is actually a lot better than it looks, but it also has bad matchups against some of the more prevalent strategies like splinter-twin so I don't think it's the deck I'll take to GP Minneapolis.

[Kaitscralt]

If you want to build UW in Standard, I would look at Brad Nelson's top 4 list as a starting point. At least run more Last Breath. It's too good right now.

[Kaitscralt]

I still like Elixir though

[imopen2]

So how do you guys farm your QPs? I mostly draft but I now have a deck to play in Modern, Standard, and Block as well...

I was surprised to find that getting second in an 8-man gets you a QP. Is that the easiest place to get them?

[hamfactorial]

3-1 in a daily will get you a QP which is reasonable if you have a good deck. Slower than an 8man but better EV along the way.
