SGC Article and recent results. —Sept. 11, 2013

The deck was mentioned in an article on star city games yesterday, http://www.starcitygames.com/article/26883_Long-Hair--Don-t-Care.html, thanks Mark Nestico for the kind words and for spreading the philosophy of fun decks!

As for the deck, it has had some good and terrible results recently.

I entered a medium level tournament recently (the popalot super series) and the deck came last. Yerp, dead last. I would like to say that I had a touch of bad luck (especially with mana) but that's just magic sometimes. Although I wasn't expecting to win the thing, I don't think that the deck deserved quite that bad a result lol. All except 1 of the games went 2-1 and I had a by, I played 2 bant hexproof decks, w/r humans, reanimator and a u/r concoction.

Last week I played the FNM and had a redeeming result wining against Golgari aggro and against U/R/B control, drawing against 4-colour control and losing to Jund midrange.

Thanks lol. probably about 75% of the games that it wins is with Battle of Wits but I haven't had a chance to test the new combo at a FNM so we will have to wait and see.

I think basically anything would be better in the 4 slots currently occupied by Jace, memory adepts.

May i suggest Ring of Three Wishes from M14? It is another Tutor!

@metalevolence, really? Jace has been pretty solid. His constant draw power is great for finding the perpetual board wipes and counters and he is usually a huge target when he comes out buying me some time. I would like to get some Tamyo and Sorin but I didn't think they would be replacing Jace. Any suggestions?

@RUGslug, thanks. I was a little torn over Ring of Three Wishes as it can be very slow unless you have 10 mana open. I've got a few lying around though so I might give them a playtest anyway.

The Ring really isn't too slow. It can take a turn to activate but if you don't have another tutor in hand and you don't have Battle of Wits then your hand probably have a decent amount of stall/removal anyway. Chances seem to be that way at least, though i've never played a deck this size haha +1
