1. I played a deck with Aven Mindcensor......that card is straight up garbage outside of the t1 GW budget deck. To top it off I didn't play with 3 artifact lands in my build which would have won me a couple of games alone if I had them.
2. Erik punted an almost unloseable match against Ryan Durney.... (sorry Erik)
3. Ben was playing a NonBo in his Bloodmoon deck....
4. My toughest match was against a GIRL who cast browbeat no less than two times in each of our three games....after the match I had to sit and watch her boyfriend berate her for losing a game he didn't even watch...awk.
5. Noah got dream crushed by his own water bottle.....that's probably the worst......
6. Adam played the deck that you all bagged on and performed the best..Good job Adam. (What was your final record?) Seriously though don't play that garbage again.
So lets put it behind us and focus on this weekend and get someone the blue envelope or at the very least in the t8.
I will not be rocking Jace the Mind Sculptor this weekend even though I did get the fantastic opportunity to Jace someone out in rd 2.

My only thought about the second list is that I would either want to play with a single Sigil of Distinction or Basilisk Collar (firststriking deathtouching lifelinkers are decent)
Justin is probably going to be rocking the GB Depths Build and Mike Gemme will probably be trying to combo off with the elves.
Soo....What are we playing, what are we missing, what is your SB plan and what can be done to improve any of the above.
Are you guys play testing this Wednesday?
Also....this is Andy
