It's Miller Time!!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! It's that Magical time again when players specially those Limited players to rejoice.

Pre-release events for GATECRASH are on!!!!

Procedures are pretty much the same as the previous expansion. Player will choose which guild he/she wishes to be associated with. As for me, I chose the guild I am most confortable with. House Dimir. Even though it is pretty obvious that the guild lacks offensive power, the guild makes up for their defensive maneuvers to make sure that you deplete their library.

Anyway moving forward, the cardpool i received was crap. Created a UBW deck.

Round 1 vs Boros
Totally whacked by the battalion mechanic. It was a sweep. 0-2

Round 2 vs Boros
Again same story it seems like my deck was no contest for Boros in this event (Madcap Skills took my interest). 0-2

Round 3 vs Dimir
This guy was a new player, he doesn't even know how to work his deck. Owned him 2-0

Round 4 vs Dimir

I won the roll Played "Blind Obedience" on my 2nd turn, Kingpins pet on 3rd and fourth turn. Seeing that he has no answer for my flyers, Game 1 was mine.

Next round was interesting
It was a battle of Consuming Abberation. "How big is yours?" seems to be the title of this match. It seems like the game was in my favor thanks to supporting cards like Paranoid Delusions, Grisly Spectacle, Balustrade Spy, and Undercity Informer. Won by Library Death, way to end an event using House DImir. :)

I won two booster packs in the end, Guess what i got? Watery Grave.

I am a fan of this guild but sadly, it seems like it wont be a competitive deck in the current standard format (Crosses Fingers). Anyway I am planning to build a deck for Gruul having this card as one of the core components

-Turn 1: Forest, Experiment One (new Simic creature from GTC, 1/1 Evolve for )

-Turn 2: Mountain, Burning Tree Emissary -> add -> Experiment One evolves (2/2), play Flinthoof Boar, Experiment One evolves (3/3), swing for 3

-Turn 3: Swing for 8 with creatures, burn opponent's face off with spells.   

OR

-Turn 1: Forest, Arbor Elf
-Turn 2: Mountain, Burning Tree Emissary -> add -> Burning Tree Emissary -> add  -> Burning Tree Emissary -> add  -> Burning Tree Emissary -> add  Untap  using Arbor Elf -> Hellraiser Goblin -> Swing for 10 look at opponents eye and say: SUP?!

 This card might see play in modern, or legacy combos. Alluren + BTE.

Modern Storm
Example "storm" combo:
Turn 3, 2 Vial counters
vial in Burning-Tree Emissary 3GR
cast Coal Stoker GRRR
cast Priest of Urabrask GRRR
cast Nest Invader RR
kick Goblin Bushwhacker -> 16 points of power

Anyway I'll think of decks to brew centered on this card and we will discuss it next time. Ta-Ta!
