3-2 at PTQ Theros - Tampa —July 30, 2013
I went 3-2 drop at a PTQ with this deck. The deck worked great when it actually did its usual thing, but I sure had to mulligan a lot of hands. Sometimes you just don't draw well. I'll report on the results soon!
Selesnya Charm handles that just fine already; Domri + Reckoner is better against small guys, letting you fight one then kill the other with the trigger, netting a two-for-zero. I've done it a few times, and it's the main reason a lot of top Naya decks at events have opted to run 3 Domri Rade in the main.

How was your fnm? I went 2-2 one of my two losses was a combo deck that required him to mill his whole deck into Laboratory Maniac , I was just sitting there watching this masterpiece happen, I had no interactions with it and he would Izzet Staticaster High Priest of Penance just wiping my board constantly and with Angel of Glory's Rise bringing them all back I was just dumbfounded.
The other was BWR Aristocrats and he had 10 gabillion Tragic Slip both games so I couldn't put a single thing out.

I went undefeated in the 6 rounds of swiss and only lost in the top 4 because I went for a max value play instead of playing more safely.
It's not surprising that you lost to Aristocrats, I seem to always lose to that deck as well.

It went 1-2 the game I won he had no slips so I was able to get creatures out and overpower him. Can you give a run down of your games?

Scroll up to the updates section of this page and you'll see the report I posted last night.

I've noticed you've yet to go against a Jund Midrange deck. There's a guy at my shop and we always end up in the top 2 every night and at this moment I'm 0-3 to his Jund deck. Have you gone against one? And if so did you win or lose.
July 21, 2013 5:29 p.m.
I've played against Jund twice and won both times. Those happened before I started putting out more detailed reports. Sigarda, Host of Herons is a nightmare for them because only Vampire Nighthawk or a lucky Bonfire can kill her. Otherwise, it's basically a coin toss because so much removal goes back and forth that whoever gets a creature to stick can usually win. Restoration Angel is very good at blanking one of their removal spells for value, so that is usually another good card in the matchup, but they have Olivia Voldaren so both decks are equal at the 4-drop slot in power.

Hey dude! Congrats on all the top 8 finishes. That is awesome. I was looking at some of your previous decks. And since you got so much praise for your almost mono-white decks I was wondering if you could help me out with my deck.

Hey man I like your deck, I'm running something similar with junk colors. How are you using Advent of the Wurm ? My meta is full of Voice of Resurgence and it ends up being cast sorcery 80% of the time.
July 22, 2013 12:05 p.m.
Advent of the Wurm is my way of playing against control by having a threat that they can counter, opening up my turn to do whatever I want, or to just have a threat after a Supreme Verdict . It also gives me another flash blocker for aggro. Against Stagtusk, it's still really good even when cast on your own turn.

The flash block as won me at least 5 games. My shops meta is control decks out the ass so Voice has never been a problem for me. But I find myself keeping it in hand for a long time which may not be what it's meant for.

With Thragtusk rotating out, what will replace it? Maybe Brindle Boar ?

The combination of Domri Rade minus 2 and Boros Reckoner is perfect if they have a huge monster out...
