Grand Prix Strasbourg - Friday and Sunday

Posted Yesterday at 02:56 PM by stsung

I wanted to participate in Legacy GP for quite a while but it was never close enough for me. So finally this time I got the chance to go to Strasbourg to play Legacy.

We were leaving Prague at 9am. I went there with Pavel Matousek and Jirka Rehak. We arrived at the site at 5 pm more or less. I could decide whether I want to play in a GPT or Legacy Warm Up tournament. I decided to give the Trial a chance.

I wrote down my decklist (BWg Stoneblade) and waited for a really...

Highlander Series Tournament no.8

Posted Yesterday at 02:50 PM by stsung

Today the last tournament of the Highlander Series took place. I was second in the series till the last tournament when everything simply went wrong and I moved to fourth place from which I could hardly reach the top. I wasn't even sure if I would want to go to the last tournament. In the end I decided to go... Few days before the tournament I realized that it is in just few days! And I wasn't even at home nor did I have a deck ready. At the last tournament I played with Izzet Control which is a...

5/17/13 FNM RTR block draft, Izzet Shenanigans 2-0-1

Posted 05-18-2013 at 02:41 AM by MercurioBlue
Updated 05-18-2013 at 02:29 PM by MercurioBlue

I went to another RTR block draft at the LGS tonight. There were 16 people who wanted to do a Two Headed Giant draft, and 20 people who wanted to do normal drafting. I ended up doing the normal drafting.

P1P1: Rare was Melek, Izzet Paragon. I took Armed // Dangerous instead.

P1P2: Turn // Burn

P1P3: I took Battering Krasis over Woodlot Crawler because I thought I might be Gruul, but Battering Krasis is pretty bad. I ended up playing against...

1) What is BUG Gifts?
BUG (or 4c, white being the splash) Gifts is a control deck based on the namesake card, Gifts Ungiven. That card is an extremely powerful tutor, being able to search out four cards at once. Your opponent does get to choose which cards make it to your hand, but as you will see, this is...

Consuming Contract

At the beginning of your upkeep, choose one—You draw two cards and lose 2 life; or destroy target creature; or __________; or you lose the game. You can't choose the same mode twice.


This is an interesting and hard-to-evaluate idea. The closest precedent I can think of is Final Fortune. However, this loses points for having a significant memory issue.

The real question here is one of balance. Balancing...

You Make the Card 4

Posted 05-13-2013 at 02:31 AM by necrogenesis (Everlasting Dusk)

Hey guys, I designed the card Mass Mummification which made it to the top 8 of You Make the Card 4. There are a lot of great ideas you can choose from (and from what I read online, there are a TON of fantastic cards that unfortunately didn't make the cut). In case anyone was interested, I thought I'd share a few ideas behind the design of Mass Mummification.

First of all, it was a bottom up design meaning I created the ability before the flavor. It was important to me that my card...

Brewing Jund Ramp in RTR Block

Posted 05-11-2013 at 01:26 PM by bearsman6
Updated 05-11-2013 at 01:52 PM by bearsman6

I don't know about you, but Standard has gotten a bit stale to me. Even with the release of the new set, I'm just not as interested in brewing in a meta that's full of Reanimator, Thragtusk, Resto Angel, Geist of Saint Traft, and Snapcaster Mage. As a result, I've turned my attention to RTR Block Constructed, which has a smaller card pool and hasn't been solved yet.

The size of the card pool is important, since with the release of DGM the size of the pool just increased by roughly...

5/10/13 FNM RTR block draft 3-0

Posted 05-11-2013 at 01:45 AM by MercurioBlue
Updated 05-11-2013 at 04:19 PM by MercurioBlue

Tonight was my first RTR block draft. I wasn't sure what to expect.

P1P1: Krasis Incubation over Beck // Call. While the format is slow, and rare fuse cards seem pretty sick, eight mana for a four 1/1 flyer + draw four is still pretty damn expensive. I remember struggling to cast Trostani's Summoner at the sealed prerelease.

P1P2: Maw of the Obzedat.

P1P4: Saw a Trait Doctoring. I'm glad I didn't open it.

I passed a couple of...

5/3/13 The DGM sealed that almost wasn't

Posted 05-04-2013 at 03:01 AM by MercurioBlue
Updated 05-04-2013 at 03:26 AM by MercurioBlue

I almost missed tonight's tournament.

I left my apartment around 5:20 As I'm walking down my driveway, a dog runs over from across the street, and starts jumping up and down and barking at me in an aggressive fashion. I stop moving, don't say anything, and stare the dog in the face, not wanting the dog to bite me. The dog's owner calls the dog back. But I wonder what would have happened if the dog bit me.

I drive to the parking garage, and as I walk out of my...
