First Game Night —June 19, 2024
The deck did not perform like I wanted. Played it three times, and lost all three times. I was able to eliminate players, but could never draw my game winning cards.
The first game was two precons and a Nico Bolas theme deck. I knocked out the two precons (LCI Pirates and MH3 Eldrazi) but the Nico player won that one.
Second game was Margar, Cyrus, and the MH3 Eldrazi precons. The Margar comboed off turn four.
Third game was The Mycotyrant, Breena, and the MH3 Eldrazi precon. I accidentally bullied the Eldrazi player with a Decimate and got hated out for that one. I took out the Eldrazi player, Breena got Mycotyrant and then me.
Overall the night was very meh. Lost six of the seven games. Slivers is what won me a game, but one of the players got so salty that he was shaking and hated me out of the last game. Wouldn't let me do anything.
I digress; I think the deck's faults were the mana base, not beefing up my squirrels enough, not drawing really any of my anthems, and lack of protection spells. Ugin seems very problematic with this deck which proceeded to wipe me all three games. Might have to go back to the drawing board with this one, but we will see. I am going to wait to change anything major with the deck until Bloomburrow comes out and see what Squirrel support I get in green/red.
I also noticed that at any given time, the average squirrel count was not very high, I think I would have three or four squirrels at a time, with the most being seven. The tap search lands did not play a huge roll in the deck, so I think I will swap them for basics and take out a few of the dual lands that enter tapped unless there is a way to get around that.
