yeah, the kidnapping was brutal for you. i really needed that draw then and there. my whole goal once you chose black starter was not to rely on units early, because of deteriorate and sacrifice the weak.
im down to play a few games with whatever deck you want to use for the tourney, a little practice before friday. ill be running [finesse]/necro/growth
Thereās no doubt you won. But how did the commander get through my skelly patrol to hit the base?
Iām a little surprised youāre taking the Finesse starters. You must have really taken a shine to them.
There are some decent units there, but I think there are units that do the same thing they do, just a little better or a little cheaper.
Iām considering finesse with the Black starters. Possibly getting the Graveyard and Finesse Tech 1 hasted units going. Seems like a nice engine. If a little obvious. With the Necro stripe you could go for the graveyard+Finesse, or switch over to the skelly spamming. Donāt get me started on MOLAC and the Blooming Ancient with Growth. Youāve got a nice set-up laid out. You must see something in the neutral starters that jives with a plan youāve got in mind.
yeah man, necro/demon/finesse is banned for a reason. fencers/starlets, graveyard, and you just use dark pact to always re-draw. its a top 3 deck.
edit: sorry, since you havent decided yet, im switching T to arg, see how it goes.
hereās my T1 regardless of what you pick.

Thoughts
hmmm, not much to do against jandra right now. could have used the green starter rampanth growth, but oh well.
"
Iām going to make a slight change. I took Necro just to get the Black starters. Well, Iāve decided to go with Demonology for the tourney, so Iām going to use that stripe for this game. I havenāt used any Necro stuff up to this point, so it will be a seamless transition.
Iāve got a meeting in the early afternoon, beyond that Iām good to power through this game today and tomorrow, as itāll likely be the last tuneup before the real thing. Not that I would mind playing casuals along with the tourney matches.
Fuck, I just realized saying Iām going to change stripes and actually having the spreadsheet go along with my decision are two completely different things. Oh well, Necro it is for this game.

couple things.
- pesting hand canāt be sacrificed, so if you play STW, jandra would go instead.
- just go ahead and reset your template to demon, and manually edit so you get jandra in hand 1. no worries.
Okay. On it.
