Draft tournament. TOTAL PROFITS : 70 EUROS —Oct. 29, 2017

I played a draft, with the muns I earned at the F.N.M. It was a games day draft. It was a good day today. I brew an esper-explore-control. There were 10 people playing. I oppened a Search for Azcanta  Flip. I kept it in the end xD. I also got a FOIL Spell Swindle , a playset of Siren Stormtamer , a promo Fatal Push and a Settle the Wreckage . Sold all of them , along with a custom playmat, for 70 euros.! I will maybe invest 5 euros in the deck. The rest goes to my studies and to a present for me girl.

Drag Under and Rabid Bite are no longer standard but Unsummon and Pounce are. With this many giant creatures, I would rather see Druid of the Cowl than Shapers of Nature. Even with those changes, likely still under $3.

Yoooo Rex_JB24 i took the amonkhet welcome decks and they are !!! Everything in this list is standard legal. This is why it's hilarious. I mean, today i went 3-1 with this deck, and i opened a showdown booster! In the god damn booster , there was a foil Ajani planeswalker. I sold him for ten euros.with those euros, i will participate in a draft event and judging by my mtg experience, i will place top 3. Sooo, i will not only get my money back, but i will get some expensive cards too! This is what i love in MTG . It's so simple, yet some people refuse to see it :/

3-1 at an FNM? That's great! What deck types did you face? Were the matches close? How does this deck play? Could you elaborate a little more in your update?

First match, was a red-green dinosaur home-brew deck. It was very easy. He is a friend of mine and I had told him to make it an enrage deck. He didn't listen to me. He has all the good creatures in(Carnage Tyrant Regisaur Alpha etc.), Yet the synergies are non existent.

Second match, was an Approach of the Second Sun deck. First game , I won him with my flyers. I went 2-1 first game was easy for him. I lost the tempo plays and a land drop. As soon as I hit the board with a Sphinx of Magosi , he had already cast one approach and had another one in . He had many removals too. The three mana removals were just perfect for him. (Skywhaler's Shot Farm / Market) . Second game , turn three I already had three creatures on the field and he missed a land drop. He scooped. Last game, it was close. I was attacking with my creatures , trying to make him concede.he then casts an approach. He gains seven life, getting back to 10. Game over I thought. He then conceded, cause she hadn't had any removals in hand AND not another approach. It was weird, buuut I wouldn't care less. I was just happy I beat a 700$ deck with a welcome deck.(he is a dick, that pimps out every deck of his. If it isn't foil, it won't fit in his decks. imagine when a welcome deck 2017 kicks your ass :p )

Third match, was a pain in the ass ramunap red. I knew I would face a deck like this, that's why I have many small creatures. First game , I was blocking with everything I had (if I could) . I mean, those Earthshaker Khenras are nut busting. He dropped two and by turn 4, I was at 10ish. That's when I hit him hard . Turn 4 I hit the field with an Arborback Stomper . I gain 5 life, I pass. Fifth round, he attacks with everything. I block a ragavan token, I kill a khenra with a 3/2 Merfolk Branchwalker and he passes... Turn five, I draw a Nature's Way . Sixth Sense on a flying Stealer of Secrets, swing in for 8, draw two cards. One is a Rabid Bite . I cast it .he now has 1 creature left, while I have 3 on board. He conceded. Second game, she goes 0-60 in no time. I lost and didn't even realise how she got me so fast. Game three, was a fun one. I Mulligan to six. I keep all the possible removal and two small creatures. She gets me to fourteen life, when I start to hit her field. It was over pretty soon.

Last game, I play with a Baral control. I couldn't do shit. Search for Azcanta  Flip, in combination with Torrential Gearhulks and River's Rebuke kicked my arse. I would care less though. :) Next time, I will raise the stakes with my sideboard games :D
