Titanic Rising...

We'll take a break from all the tier 1 / worlds decks to look into a deck a bit more fun with the potential of being competitive. The ultimatums were created to win you games the minute they resolve, cruel saw a lot of play, violent saw some while the other I win ultimatum, Titanic, saw none . Some will say its because we already have overrun, but players stopped using that also because of one card that made it impossible to get through, Baneslayer Angel. With Titanic even your 1/1s can take on the dreaded angel.

This deck thrives on card advantage since most cards are two for ones, with some even being four for ones. Let's take a closer look.

Worlds 2009 - A look into Jacerator

Today we'll take a look into the deck that went 6-0 at worlds (t2), talk about how brilliant it is and give you plenty of reasons why you should NOT play this.


The Deck list by Joel Calafell :

Worlds 2009-First Impressions (T2)

There are certain things that catch your eye when looking at the cold stats of a Worlds Tournament. Certain things you like , certain things you dislike.

Let's start with the things I liked:

Emeria Angel: Yes!! She is the new angel on the block, she is the newcomer, a card that was underrated when it first was spoilt but she really gets her 15 minutes of fame and aims to get a lot more.

Drafting with Papasouzas-ZEN!!!

 The first draft on this blog rightfully belongs to Papasouzas!!!
Let's see how he did...

Women and Magic

“My girlfriend doesn’t know I’m at the pre-release she thinks I’m at work”
“Whatever you do don’t tell her you play magic, tell her you have a hobby that she will never know nothing about”

These words came from the mouth of a friend, these word reflect a reality, my reality as well as others, probably yours too. Women have a tendency to discard magic as something useless, something little boys are allowed to play with but by any means not men.

Current Standard – Exploring The alternatives

So you are tired of seeing/playing Jund or Boros. You want to play something different competitive and fun (well... fun for you anyway). Today we'll take a look at the alternatives the current standard holds.

First we'll take a look into the last starcitygames 5k tournament

The spice must flow...

Mono White Control

For My first Deck List I couldn't choose anything else than this Mono White Control list that gave me my first big win at World's trials Thessaloniki.

The Deck is solid , and has a good matchup against Jund (I went 5-1 against Jund at that tournament), while Boros , Vampires and Pyromancer Ascension are really REALLY favorable.

So if your meta is infected with the above decks (and let's face it , it is :-) ) . I highly recommend trying this.

List is slightly altered by 2 cards (added the spheres) from the list that won World's Trial.

Deck analysis and tournament report can be found here in Greek.

Feel free to comment/judge or ask anything.

To blog μου...

Το παρόν blog ξεκινάει δοκιμαστικά λοιπόν με σκοπό άγνωστο μέχρι στιγμής.

Η αρχική ιδέα είναι να ποστάρουμε εδώ ιδέες για magic the gathering, deck lists, tips κτλ. πρωτότυπες ελπίζω και λειτουργικές παράλληλα. Στην τελική ένας χώρος που θα κρατάω ιστορικό απο τις ιδέες που μου έρχονται κατα καιρούς.

Σε τι μπορεί να εξελιχθεί? Αυτό εξαρτάται απο την συμετοχή ή όχι που θα έχετε εσείς σε αυτό το ταπεινό πλην τίμιο blog.

Θα επανέλθω σύντομα με την πρώτη decklist...
Cheers...
