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
