Been Busy!

Well, I've finished uni now.. handed in my thesis and did my presentation.. That was taking up the majority of my time up until now.

Magic-wise, what have I been doing?
I borrowed a deck for FNM the week after the last post, because I was too late arriving to get my own deck from home. GR elves with no eldrazi monument. I went 0-3-drop, so I'm not writing about THAT.

The weekend after that, I went to Legacy for the first time in a long time, borrowed Belcher, went 3-1, losing to Countertop Natural Order.. Turns out turn 1 belcher on the play doesn't get there sometimes.

Last FNM I played Dredge, and went 3-1, losing to RUW planeswalker control. Game 1 he shut me down with walls of denial and planeswalkered me to death. Game 2 he hit a turn 2 luminarch ascension, turn 3 wall of denial, turn 4 ajani vengeant to shut off my crypt.. Pretty rude.

Last weekend I played Landstill at the Legacy league, went 1-2-1. I had never played the deck before round 1, so it was an eye-opener to find out how difficult legacy was to play when you weren't making 16 goblins on turn 1. Looks like I need to devote a fair bit of time and effort to that format if I want to excel.

That's my recap! moving on to the future!

Standard: I'm still planning to play dredge at FNM, I swapped some cards around and am searching my house for pithing needles for the board, but otherwise I'm happy with how it plays.

Extended: Season is coming up, and I am looking at Tezzeret control. Getting the deck together now so I can start practicing with it. It'll take far more dedication to play well than most decks I end up with.. but dedicated combo in extended is fail right now, and I hate zoo.

Legacy: Trying to play around different decks to get a feel for the format. This week is planned to be Faerie Stompy, if I can borrow the sea drakes. We'll see :)
