Casual petE (Mono White) vs Request (Mono Red)

Codex Codex play-by-forum
41

GG, i got lucky on my draws and felt pretty good about my teching. Still never feel too comfortable during a game though!

And yes i’m up for more games. Any MUs you wanna try out?

42

Quite like getting some more practice as White, haven’t played it much before. Seems good in the opening and mid game, but difficult to find the killer way to get the win. Happy to try against any deck, I’ve randomed 85.

43

I randomed 82 - switching to Mono Black. After you!

@zhavier points out that in our first game I maxbanded and used Grave’s sword at level 5 instead of 7. Invalidates that one – no wonder I seemed to get ahead quickly! Think I’ve faced Demonology so many times in RACE games recently that I must have Vandy’s levels on the brain…

48

Ahh I hadn’t noticed either. No worries, but thanks for the clarification!

Sorry this turn doesn’t work, I had Grave mistakenly marked as 3/4 instead of 3/2. Will redo.

Edited now.

I don’t think Snapback would put Orpal back into Patrol, but GG here, WP! Up for more if you are.

Sure. I’ll switch to Purple for a change. Your turn to start.
