Match 1

GW-Dinosaurs -- 2-0 Beefy toughness creatures were a bit of a hassle to overcome, with enough removal i managed to sneak damage through unimpeded with ease

RG-Dinosaurs -- 2-0 Some wierd mix of value from both the dinosaurs and RamunapRed, Jank vallue deck, when it his stuff landed they were intimidating, but the lack of synergy and tactic made it an easy win.

Ramunap Red -- 0-2 Jesus christ this deck is fast, i knew keeping up with him would be the goal, and sure enough i got him to topdeck looking for awnsers in no time, it just took most of my early game get to that point alive. in the end it was up to chandra/hazoret to seal my deal....Cant recall, did i even do damage to him?

--END RESULT--

Pure Black leaves little room for useful tricks.

Sword-Point Diplomacy Honestly i had better hopes, but even in a deck that has been specifically built around the card....its trash. the game needs to develop in your favor for this to be worth it. With 2-3 bodies on the board proving to be annoying could lead a Sword-Point Diplomacy to become lethal/give you 3 cards. Also if you've dealt enough damage and had enough mana you can cast this more safely to re-stabilize, unless your opponent wants to sink lower than 5 life. Other than these two conditions, ive never felt encouraged to cast the card, as yet again, CARDS THAT GIVE YOUR OPPONENT THE CHOICE ARE CRAP....

Lastly To replace the Jank ive included a new trick, one that fits the decks aggro like nature a little better. Driven / Despair Has made it much easier to close the game, 2-3 bodies on turn 4 makes this particularly lethal. Due to the lack of Blooming Marsh in my collection, ive opted for a Evolving Wilds strategy, wich opened up the option of including Hostile Desert to assist the body count if needed. Hostile Desert also a handy blocker against Ramunapred...Maby...well see after the next test.
