Most of all I was trying to somehow test my Elemental Apocalypse deck after several changes at the deck to make it somewhat faster. Even though I did won 1 of the games (losing the other in a categorical kind of way) I was impressed since it seems to run faster than I first thought, giving some headaches to a very easy to play and quite solid deck: Elvish Council. It needs some further testing against different kinds of ...

Later on we were joined by MaJin for a last round of free for all games. Some of the decks I prepared, although exposed in the forums, differ a bit due to some changes I've been doing over the time. Not all of these tweaks seemed to be for the better, though. Anyway, the first four rounds were a duel between my Recycle Bin and Lim-Dul's latest addiction: his Esper deck. All of the games were won by Lim-Dul 1st by 19-0, ...

He was playing Painful Memories while I was trying my new version of my not so much successful Black Aggro deck. I won both games, even though at a close distance (don't have the scores though), but that's easily understood since the guy was playing the game for the first time after a several years long hiatus. He didn't even knew most of the cards on the deck. Still, it came up as a nice gaming session and ...

Even though it lost the first game, my deck behaved properly on the second game and it even untied on the third, making it a 2-1 win. I believe that the first loss happened mainly because I didn't knew how to properly play the deck and didn't knew what my opponent had packed, forcing me to play in an awkward way. With the other two games ...

The win was on the 2nd multiplayer game. So, in the 1st game it lost against & MaJin's Untap deck. Lim-Dul was playing a Land Destruction deck that had little luck. On the 2nd game MaJin kept the same deck while Lim-Dul changed his to is first attempt at a Elf & Wolf deck which needs to be tweaked out. Here the win was easier although still the ...

Go figure. If only they knew... So, this deck was played against both Lim-Dul's & Rogue deck and MaJin's Ninja. As usual MaJin was the main target due to hatred towards blue. After all he was playing a counter deck while Lim wasn't. And being as it is, I knew I'd be doomed with this deck just because it is a very slow deck and both opponents played far faster decks than mine. Besides all that, I ...

I won the 1st round big time, completely burning my opponent. He was only able to lock me down when he was around 4 or 5 in life. No knowing what kind of deck I was playing he played a Phyrexian Arena in the mid game. It was that very same card that blew the game for him while I was at around 16 life. 2nd and 3rd round were more of the same, locking me down when he was less than 10 life in both games. Thing ...

The opponent played an aggro GW deck with Hivestone, enabling things like Wilt-Leaf Liege to become a sliver and to enhance his slivers. In the end I lost 2-0 without much to tell. The first game we were trying each other and my deck wasn't behaving as it should. On the second one I was playing my cards all wrong, making lots of mistakes. In this version I was playing with 2 Quick Slivers which were afterward replaced by 1 Might Sliver ...

This deck proved himself fast enough to blow the opponent before he pulled out his combo for 2 times and the game I lost was a close call. Not a bad behavior from one of my oldest decks.
