Garruk for me was amazing. As was creepy doll
Based on what I played against, Sorin, derp.
Also, I played against a thraben doomsayer plus flayer, which was insane.
Hellrider destroyed.
I also went against a stalker equipment combo. They had 2 stalkers, a cleaver, inlaid dagger, and demonmail. That was brutal

Ravenous Demon + Bloodgift Demon is hilarious to pair together.

I did REALLY well with beguiler of wills, and then really well with burning oil. Both of those won games for me.

Lingering Souls was great for lots of people. Hellrider was able to end games almost instantly upon being dropped. Easily one of the best rares from DKA.

Niblis of the Urn and Niblis of the Breath are both amazing at stopping your opponent from stabilizing against fliers.

There was a guy who pulled a foil sorin and he would NOT shut up about it. He kept asking for $100 and boasting about it. We banded together to move his wheelie chair a good distance from the table after that. Also, lost every game too.

However, I have to say, my UB human/spirit with Requiem Angel and [card]Increasing Devotion[/i] worked amazingly well with Shriekgiest as a backup with Increasing Confusion. Unfortunately, I did go 2-2 due to an Elbrus and a wall of spiders.

Well I went 3-2 only losing to a R/G and a Blue deck with the 1/1 hexproof guy who a bitch when he got the lifelink equipment, For me it is was the Kruin Outlaw when ever he hit the field he won me games. Geisflame was also a superstar for me. I also won a game with the new fog. Did not use but two of my rares in my sealed pool though the orther were not very goor. But i could have had a sorin, I passed a guy the packs that were handed to me and i got a new set of six packs. All because i was being nice.

Yeah, Invisible Stalker can go to hell. Such a ridiculous card. :P

Anyway, Requiem Angel did quite well for me tonight, often netting me enough flyers to end the game fairly well. Combining it with Elder Cathar and the Human tokens from Gather the Townsfolk was awesome as well; turning them into evasive creatures really turns the tide.

Mondronen Shaman, when it flipped, was also pretty sweet, giving some good reach.

Burden of Guilt was also insane for me, as was Fires of Undeath. Glad I got multiples of both.

I've been trying to tell people that Burden is a good removal spell forever, but no one ever listened.

I opened both the Angel and Kikaeus in my pool. Played BWu... Actually only drew the angel once or twice, and was able to cast once. It was good enough but her ability never triggered as I won that game based on pure number of beasties. Mikaeus I always seemed to draw. It was just miserable. I could never seem to find a third swamp, but I did have some tricks to help get him out. Mainly Civilized Scholar with Unburial Rites. THAT was really the best way I got him to work, and yes he did win me games.

HOWEVER, my best combo was Undying Evil and Ravenous Demon. Sac a human for "food" to flip him, use UE on the Human, bring it back to be able to use it as food again. He won me every game I had him out, and the only time the "9 life" issue came up was when I transformed him a turn too fast and tried to draw for another dude... hit a land pocket and failboated after the opponent brought be down under 9 life. I also loved the Nibolis cards.

Things I hated seeing? That little red wolf that makes all creatures blockable only by 2 creatures... and all the freaking flying spirits everywhere. Sure I had some, but ICK.

Pyreheart Wolf won so many games for me by essentially turning my fliers into unblockables. Got stuck playing UR aggro because my pool was just unfairly awful.
