Revised Hippo-Blade.
Oh, by the way, this is the list I ended up with after I tweaked the original list quite a bit.

Game day: 4-1 Hippo-Blade.
I was supposed to miss today’s event as I was supposed to work, but due to some unforeseen events, I actually ended up getting to play, albeit I barely made it on time. The night started bad and progressively got good. Match 1 GWb Birthing Pod G1: I got straight wrecked by what was apparently the most aggro-y hand the dude had ever played. Strangleroot Geist into Blade Splicer into...

It was a very strange night. I showed up a little early, but forgot Ed wasn’t going to be working, so the FNM was run by some of his friends who don’t even work for the store. Needless to say, things ended up getting off to a late start. As we sat around waiting, I was talking to our friend Dave…
I quite enjoyed reading your stories, (especially against...

FNM Report: 3-2 Hippo-Blade.
It was a very strange night. I showed up a little early, but forgot Ed wasn’t going to be working, so the FNM was run by some of his friends who don’t even work for the store. Needless to say, things ended up getting off to a late start. As we sat around waiting, I was talking to our friend Dave who plays Delver/Pike, and we laughed about the deck as he happened to see the colors I...
This is the list I will be playing tonight.
I don’t care if anybody I know reads this beforehand. I’m excited to play something that isn’t Mono Black Infect. After seeing this deck played by Caleb Durwald at GP Orlando, I’ve wanted to try out an iteration of it, but I’ve had a lot of trouble finding (lol) Buried Ruins. For some reason, NOBODY fucking had them. I finally got some from Coolstuff so I’m...

Howdy everyone!
So, I’ve been doing some thinking on how I’d like to expand my blog and get into contact with the people who follow me and I thought it would be a cool idea to trade copies of Vedalken Ghoul!
Here’s the plan, if you send me a copy of a Vedalken Ghoul SIGNED BY YOU, I will both…
I’ll also be doing this, signing copies of Arbor or Llanowar Elves. You...

Part of the problem is not seeing that there is a problem.
That would be fine logic had I said there wasn’t a problem. I simply stated that there are many people who would take offense to it not based on their own belief, but because others are upset. Being offended to be offended.
No. Men and women still have very different experiences based on their gender (and...
Not Magic related at all, but.
500 Days of Summer may be my favorite movie of all time. “Yeah, so, a little awkward.” “Yeah.” “Well, I hope you um, don’t get the job.” “Well, I hope YOU don’t get the job.”
Megacon is this weekend.
I think my 16 year old self would be wheeling right now, not able to even so much as sleep the night before. 22 year old me could care less, and I live less than 5 miles away from where it will be happening. It’s kind of funny how much five years will change a person. I may still make an appearance to play Magic with some people, because I know there will be some cube drafting going on,...

Thanks Kris!
Dude… I was starting to get really annoyed with those posts. Don’t be/feed the trolls.
Its so much fun to make kids angry, though.

Lots of strange decks made day 2. I saw a guy day 2 playing a deck that consisted of nothing but Lost in the Woods, Elixir of Immortality, and Forests. He may have gotten there by drawing most of his games, but that’s apparently enough points to make day 2.
It’s also hard to dome your opponent when your 2 drop 1/1 dies to instant speed removal and can be blocked by tokens that can...

There is a reason that aside from Inkmoth Nexus, Infect hasn’t exactly been a dominating force in the Standard (or hell, even Modern) metagame. Infect creatures are restrictive in a lot more ways than they are helpful. Let’s look at some of the best Infect creatures in print right now and…

Unless you built it wrong.
Except it has more variance.
Slightly. It’s not as bad Mono-Red, or Valukut but it’s like the little brother.
Valakut had no variance at all, though. Each decklist was literally exactly the same. Wolf Run can be run in a few different color combinations, and has card variance even in the same color lists. I agree...

This Hippo-Blade list is really pretty funny.
This list is pretty much a copy-ish of the Deck Tech with Caleb Durwald. Mine is a little bit different than his, but not by much. (I’m playing the MotherJones version minus the Sun Titan.) 1 Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite 4 Galvanic Blast 4 Glint Hawk Idol 2 Timely Reinforcements 2 Wurmcoil Engine 1 Sword of War and Peace 2 Sword of Feast and Famine 2 Oblivion Ring 2 Mortarpod 3 Inkmoth Nexus...

Dark Ascension Event Decklists Revealed.
This is a great day for the Standard Magic player. Almost as good as Graveborn was for Legacy players. Almost as good as Mirran Crusaders in an event deck. The lists themselves don’t seem to be anywhere near as good as the 2012 Illusions list, or the Innistrad “Hold the Line”, and totally not the Scars Stoneforge Mystics but there are some cards in these lists that make them...

Making more card proxies.
On the cutting board is… Daybreak Ranger Skinshifter (Easy one.) Black Cat (Easy one too.) Skithiryx. Konda, Lord of Eiganjo. And my favorite one of all… Devoted Retainer. Most of them are going to be inside jokes and I am no artist, but I plan on using them. :P

My sealed pool tonight was just terrible.
The only “bomb” I pulled was Charmbreaker Devils. That should tell you basically all you need to know about how good my deck ended up being. Had a funny interaction with Spider Spawning and Increasing Devotion, though. Nothing like having a permanently recurring Increasing Devotion. I just wish it had been Increasing Savagery. Would have made Markov Blademaster a house.

Decks that don't require any Dark Ascension cards.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been contemplating what decklists I could play that didn’t really require anything beyond Innistrad cards to be playable. Money is tight for me right now, and thusly I planned on just continuing play without DKA, and instead opting to use my FNM winnings to attain those cards. As I sat and wondered what the best way to do this was, it really just...
