Sorry!

There was no update last week because I didn't get off work on Friday until after 8pm. You'll get double goodness this week, though, thanks to FNM + Game Day! (This is my first Game Day since Innistrad. I always forget Game Day.)

Exhaustion makes for poor Magic.

It's been a long week, and it culminated in me going 1-3 last night. Oof. It was not fun. Being tired, I've noticed, has a tendency to exacerbate my tendency to keep marginal hands (this might get there! also I don't feel like shuffling and presenting again!). Despite managing to get to 60 life one game (Trostani + Rhox Faithmender + Thragtusk and pals), I generally played pretty badly. "What do you mean I forgot to activate Garruk this turn?!"

Sometimes you have to make do with what you have. FNM on release/rotation day is generally this time. I'm trying to remember what I played a year ago--I think it was a terrible version of Kuldotha Red (way worse without Goblin Guide, Bushwhacker and Ornithopter). Two years ago it was random rares slotted into the Myr of Mirrodin intro pack.  Tonight was a big step up from either of those decks! Granted, it was "Three-Color Rare Binder," but it didn't do too poorly.
