w00t, we have threads. Thanks, Mr. Monty.

A couple of comments:
-I'm surprised that Merfolk did well...I didn't think they'd be good without LoA.
-Toast owns.
-No Spitebellows anywhere in the Elementals list?
-No coverage of the Elementals or Doran decks?
-Block Constructed season is going to be fun - it looks pretty wide-open right now.

Also didn't believe Merfolk aggro was viable without LoA.

The three winning decks were packing at least 8 counters (4 Cryptics, 4 Broken ambitions or Sage's dousing / Negate). Guttural response on SB sounds good (also counters Mirrorweave).

A turn 3 fatty (Doran, Horde of Notions, Oversoul of Dusk) looks a viable strategy too.

The G / W deck featured Raking Canopy on SB. Is it good enough in block constructed?
