Grandest architect

So tomorrow I am going to be playing in my natsq with grand architect deck. His maybe similar to ali aintrazis list, but obviously when I am playing mtg and brewing I am going to add little twists here and there. Pretty excited about it as I don't do horrible with the deck and by the time people figure out what he deck is I nail ben with a six drop turn 4 or a lodestone turn 3 yeah it happens. And when it happens, nice 3cc doom blade and 2 cc bolt. I also added some tech to the list that metaknightmare threw at me awhile ago and I pretty much held back from the raging at him about it. But in have to say it's pretty genius especially with mono blue. Soooo thanks for he tech b team member lOl.
Uhhh yesterday I woke up from my all day nap and found out hat the giullumes were banned along with two other guys... I love wafo tapa, it's always a pleasure to watch him play and it's vey unfortunate that he was involved with this leak. What's also unfortunate is that his possible bid in the HoF is going to be very much be in question now. I mention this beacause on a past top 8 magic cast they ask who would be on the ballot for this year and wafo was part of their list of people to make it. It's unfortunate hat this has happened and it has set him
Back some but he should have known that if you fuck with wizards and their product then your walking on thin ice and they will get you. I have no doubts that when he returns he will be I full force and hopefully earn his spot on the HoF ballot.
And interesting question has arisen from all of this tho. The other giullume stared that wizards had given him this godbook so that he can give a review of the set. Now with that being said, is anyone asking if any other pros are getting this godbook aswell it are smart enough to keep it under wraps? Does this brand him as a cheater now because wizards had decided to give him a look at the set months prior? Buyer sine questions ringer people thinking about this cuz at this point who knows what happens behind the scenes
I have more stuff to say but i am at work later all :)

Something new

I am at work right now and I have magic on the brain so naturally I am about to have to write a blog post. I seem to do the most writing about mtg at work, so lets get to it.
Yesterday i went to a standard for jaces tournament and took my legion of doom deck to give it a run and see if it's ready for nats qualifier at the end of the month. Turns out the deck isn't ready and I have pretty much lost all my patients for playing the deck. I have been playing it for about a month and a half? And everyone pretty much knows that I am the Grixis guy. They know I run fast walkers accompanied by brutal titans and I can protect myself and Those walkers with board sweepers. Strike 1. The deck doesn't always run good and you may have to mull aggressively to get the right hands and!!! It doesn't run counter magic ie mana leaks strike 2! And strike 3... The players at my store Renjist way too good to be running this deck. I am sure uncoils pick this up and do really well at other stores but mine is full of people wanting to excel at he game and overall are just better than so many other people. Like when inwent to gencon last year.... People were horrible the only other person I lost to was from california, everyone else I crushed.
So what am I doing right now and what am I going to play? Right now I am going to finish my brew for mono black control. I know in my last post I said that mbc wasn't possible but fuck it. I do alot of mono black homework and I spend a few hours each week trying to get the deck to where I want it and I think I may have it. The meta at my store has shifted slightly and o think I might be able to get the jump on it with this build. Inam going back to what I love to do and that's build rouge decks. I have learned alot Playing smi77ys deck and I love all the time I put into it but right now I think I am going to do it my way and see how that goes.
If I see you at the nats q ask me show you the deck, youll get a kick out of it. If not expect a write up of it on 60cards along with the other half finished notes from all the legion testing

For jayboosh :D

Its probably too early to tell, but is mono black going to be better than ub? What do you gain by cutting blue? Everyone is talking mono B-jayboosh

:D while it might be too early to tell, wotc seems to be giving up little hints at a mono black deck.there are Powerful cards like grave Titan, go for the throat, massacre wurm and abyssal persecutor are being thrown at us. But the problem lies in actual card advantage. Gone are the days of necrotopence, phyrexian arena, oversold cemeteries and BoBs. Alas we are stuck with sign in blood and phyrexian rager and... Dark tutaledge? Strictly a worse arena bleh. The problem maybe be just card advantage but it's a huge problem for mono black.
Right now blue complements black so well. You get the card draw in preordain, jace...see beyond? Blue sun zenith?... And the kill spells of black Ex dooms blades throats vendetta black sun and smother
The other bonus you get from blue Is counter magic. With out counter magic decks like cawblade and valakut shit on mono black all day. so pretty much every weakness thT black has as a standalone deck slisnmade up by blue you see.
What's awesome is that blacks battlefields effects complement blue to make it much much stronger ex grave titan percy and massacre wurm. Like I said, at this point in time it's hard to say If mono black will work. It if wizards reprints FoW with phyrexian mana or dash hopes comes back and they also print better drawing cars for black I can see it working but if they don't support the color then it's going to just be creatures and subpar spells. Also a good fucking walker for black would be nice. Vess can't do it alone
