LSV's turbo land looks sick.
I'm thinking of putting a list together.

so i got second place with a home brew at the same ptq that shaheen won and i did not get a plug in this article. i was just curious why that is, i mean there have been several times that mike had featured decks that did not do well in a tournament but was neat and mine did both and i dont get a shout out? dont want to sound like im begging but what u gotta do now a days to get noticed?

I really liked turboland, a deckstrat I had been *reasonably* close to discovering all by myself. except... I. DON'T. OWN. FOUR. FREEKIN. JACES. and I probably never will. They're up to about $90 here. so building an optimum turboland is out... same goes for next level bant... mythic conscription.... brilliant ultimatum.... U/G polymorph... and a greater proportion of other white / blue control. such a shame that competitive standard has become so inaccessible by virtue of a handful of over-the-curve mythics

I like how Standard is considered "Open" but really it's still Jund VS "Decks w/Jace."
Also, yes, Emeria Angel is the awesome. Hence the GW Brave Angel deck I helped a friend with. Funny it took other people so long to figure that out.

I doubt many of the pro players or people in large playgroup with enough $ or luck realize how bad Mythics (and Jace V2 in general) are affecting the game. If you don't want to play some scrub deck and get rolled over by everyone you pretty much *have* to play Jace if you want to play anything with blue in it. Even if you would want to spend the 300+ $ to get a playset its hard to get because the supply can not keep up with the demand because of the mythic rarity.

emeria angel is teh worst
when the field is open ie. half jund, you have a creature that is only 1/2 of a cascade card
chumps to leech, raging ravine,
trades down to thrinax, bloodbraid, siege gang
dont skimp on the siege gang kiddies he's 8 to the dome vs next level
bloodwitch, sparkmage, necrogenesis, duress to taste

I hear theorycraft is what gets you multiple high level event t8s.
But I guess it is only fitting that you are spouting completely unproven (in results!) theorycraft and championing Jund, of all decks.

Necrogenesis  ? I mean i guess its a good card against vengevine...but then if that is all it fights is it really worth it?
I like fun, but competitive decks. So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.
