1-2 @ second event —May 23, 2016
A great turn out of 15 players forced one of the associates to play a rental deck to make an even 16. I picked up Swarming Devotion, someone rented Budget Black Control, and the associate ran Communist Party.
The player of this ended up buying the deck and is looking to turn it into the typical MBC that we all know of. She has experience playing Jund in modern and MBC online, so she knew how the deck runs. The lack of Witches main board really hurt though she said after the deck finished 1-2. In the first match up she beat a Mono Green Infect list 2-1. The second round it squared off against a strong UG Madness deck that was hard to keep up with and lost 0-2. The last round is where the witches would have made all the difference against Delver, but sadly it fell 0-2.
I need to figure out how to put in the witches where they don't nombo with all the 1 toughness creatures while still making it under $10. I'm not sure it's possible though, so the deck will probably remain as is for while.
Stompy and Affinity both went 3-0 and were the top dogs of the day.
Till the store gets a larger crowd for it, the owner wants to keep it a 3 round event. I kinda felt bad beating the white deck though since it beat Delver in the first round to my surprise. I still need to update the results for that one as well as The Communist Party.
Oh and the owner changed the original list which had the witches because he felt like it went bad with the one toughness creatures. So he put in the slayers since he already had those on hand. Having the witches sure would have made going up against the white deck a whole lot easier though, especially if I had played Delver. Oh well, it was his decision not mine :-/

Nice results! How did you play only 3 rounds with 10 people? I thought it would be 4... Anyways, examine the meta and rethink the SB a bit.
