B6: draws Hinterland Harbor, plays Hinterland Harbor, taps out for 7 mana casting Angel of Serenity targeting PrinceOfNeurosis two voice tokens, and the Snapcaster Mage in own graveyard. Passes.

P6: draws Temple Garden startin to feel a little flooded. Plays, Temple Garden tapped, holding two plains, Restoration Angel and Angel of Serenity, currently at six mana open, can’t cast serenity til at least next turn, and I’m not sure if flashing in resto, during his own mainphase is the best play, if I just flash her in to blink thrag at the opponents end step, that’d be the best play, so lets do that. Passes.

B7: draws Hinterland Harbor plays Hinterland Harbor, moves to combat, swings with serenity for 5 in the air, no blocks, lifes at B19/P12, passes. At EoT PrinceOfNeurosis flashes in a Restoration Angel targeting his Thragtusk, it resolves, thrag blinks, gains 5, gets a brrst token, lifes at B19/P17. Passes.

B9: draws Angel of Serenity Hahahahahah I forgot she was on top of my library, every time. Sitting on 9 open mana, holding Azorius Charm, Restoration Angel, Thragtusk, Angel of Serenity, Cyclonic Rift, and a Sphinx's Revelation. I’m sitting on a powder keg and both sides of the field are packed with bomb drops.

If I remove his serenity he gets back two thrags and a resto, easily 15 life points waiting to be gained from that, I think my best play is to match his board presence and when the moment is right overload Cyclonic Rift and swing for game.

Behgz casts Angel of Serenity targeting the Thragtusk and SnapcasterMage in own yard, and PrinceOfNeurosis brrst token. Passes.

P9: draws Angel of Serenity This game just got nutty. Casts Angel of Serenity targeting a Voice of Resurgence in own yard and the Angel of Serenity already in play and Behgz Angel of Serenity, PrinceOfNeurosis getting back two Thragtusk and a Restoration Angel, Behgz gets back Thragtusk and Snapcaster Mage. Passes. (I think I might have a paradox on my hands.)

B10: draws Restoration Angel. I’m holding 8 amazing cards, all of which do Nothing to stop an Angel of Serenity from grabbing me by the balls and saying YOUR MY BITCH. Earlier I mentioned that a clear path to victory for me in this match up was to match the board state presence then cast an overload Cyclonic Rift and swing for game, I’m thinking it’ll take atleast two swings, so a second Cyclonic Rift might be necessary. *note; Snapcaster Mage can’t flashback Cyclonic Rift for its overload cost, so If that’s the case I will need to draw into another one.

Behgz casts Thragtusk gains 5, lifes at B20/P22, passes.

Then Behgz goes absolutely insane. Casts 2x Snapcaster Mage each targeting a Cyclonic Rift casts both Cyclonic Rift each targets one of the new brrst tokens PrinceOfNeurosis just got.

Casts Thragtusk gains 5 lifes at B41/P15. Passes.

B17: Draws Glacial Fortress plays Glacial Fortress, PrinceOfNeurosis is at 15 life, and I have 15 damage on the field in bodies. If I had drawn into a cyclonic rift, I could cast it, then snap it back to take out the brrst token, then swing for game, unfortunately for me, I drew Glacial Fortress its not my decks fault, there’s 20 cards left in my deck, 15 lands in play means there were 9 lands left to draw out of 21 cards, I had about a 50/50 chance of drawing land no matter what, let alone I’ve already blown threw two of the three Cyclonic Rift in the deck. Numbers are fun. Anyways, looks like I can’t win this turn no matter how I slice it.

Moves to combat, swings with dub strike serenity in the air for 10. No blocks, lifes at B45/P15. Passes. (it’s at this point you realize why the serenity loop is a thing, now that PrinceOfNeurosis has his only two serenity’s in play, I can wrath and that’s the end of it, worst of all I get mine back from one of his.)

B18: Draws Centaur Healer plays Sunpetal Grove, casts Farseek, interesting side note, there’s only 3 lands left in my deck at the time farseek is cast, finds Breeding Pool, casts Supreme Verdict PrinceOfNeurosis gets two voice elemental tokens and a brrst, he gets back Silverblade Paladin from serenity dying, Behgz gets back his copy of serenity and 2x Restoration Angel and a Centaur Healer.

B19: Draws Sphinx's Revelation plays Hinterland Harbor, 11 cards left in my library, my plan is to Sphinx's Revelation for 6 right now during main phase 1, draw into an Angel of Serenity and a Cyclonic Rift and win in the next two turns.

In case anyone was wondering, PrinceOfNeurosis next draw would’ve been another Thragtusk, Behgz next draw was Angel of Serenity.

Thoughts on this first game; Wow, that’s all I can say, I managed to fight the urge to rage quit the write-up out of pure exhaustion from wrapping my brain around the paradoxical antics of multiple serenities and thrags popping off for what seemed like an endless stream of turns. If there are any play mistakes please attribute them to the fact that this was the toughest write-up I’ve done.

Sideboard options:

PrinceOfNeurosis sideboard; 1x Archangel of Thune, 2x Celestial Flare, 3x Centaur Healer, 2x Ground Seal, 3x Pithing Needle, 2x Rootborn Defenses, and 2x Sundering Growth. Cards that will work in this match-up: well Thune is an obvious choice but a weird inclusion in the sb, granted I know why its there, it’s the one copy he got in a booster and I don’t blame him for not shelling out for a second copy. Because he’s got it in the side, its coming in for game 2. Celestial Flare is a great sleeper card and I’m happy to see it ready and available here in the sb. Ground Seal is a pain in my ass so its coming in. Pithing Needle is definitely coming in, and finally Rootborn Defenses is definitely coming in to combat the constant wraths, even one well timed rootborn can swing the tide of the game. I was in touch with PrinceOfNeurosis and we discussed his sb options and I incorporated them as per his request.

---

Behgz sideboard: 1x AEtherling, 2x Celestial Flare, 2x Detention Sphere, 2x Dispel, 2x Pithing Needle, 3x Renounce the Guilds, 2x Savage Summoning, and 1x Silence. Cards that will work well in this match-up: 1x AEtherling comes in for a total of 2 in the deck, 3x Renounce the Guilds comes in to combat all the multicolored perms in the opponents deck. That’s about it, everything else in the sb is mainly for other match-ups.

Behgz Wins.

PrinceOfNeurosis next draw was Sunpetal Grove.

Behgz next draw was Sphinx's Revelation but after that there was only 2 cards left in the deck, both lands. In other words, it took literally every card in my deck to win.

Thoughts on the match.

Game one was epic and I never thought it would end. I was wracking my brain for an answer to the board state scenarios at every turn, Finally AEtherling pushed through for the win.

Game two was equally epic, but with Pithing Needle out from turn 2 on I couldn’t run away with the game early when I drew into AEtherling. It ended up taking two hard cast Angel of Serenity in a single turn to open a path to push through. At no point was this a walk in the park, it was brutal.

The next articles have been planned out based on user submitted decks. Any new submissions can be added to this page in the comments or on my profile page, the latter more likely to catch my attention.
