Trades Trades Trades

Tuesday through down again this week--tons of games, skill level is really increasing, and the kids are now very interested in Trades.

The games are getting much more lopsided as some of the Team are spending a lot of time on their decks and getting much better & others are just showing up on Tuesday.

But we are still having a ton of fun.

Deck Tech Friday Night Magic 02/07/14

Friday Night Magic 02/07/14

Friday Night Magic at Mercenary Market in Costa Mesa was a blast. It started with trying to solve this puzzle from the Hero's Path:

Luckily I had cheated and looked it up on bing, otherwise I would have never figured this out--I think that these puzzles need to be a whole later more simple.

We drafted to Born of the Gods & one Theros which was awesome.

 Jack was in the other pod and built  a strong UW Heroic deck. He crushed me during play testing before things started.

However my deck was fairly consistent in other games and I was able to pull out a 3-0 [6-1] record and take home a few packs.

My deck was mostly a Wolf Pack which I am likely going to try to build out as a Standard Deck this week.

Pump after the Block

I swing with Beetleform Mage:

Matt blocks with Young Pyromancer:

I pay the two to pump the Human Insect Wizard and hit for four taking none. 

Matt argues that I can pump after blocks are announced; however, the flying effect does not override the fact that I was already in blocked state.
