I'm a bit light on finishers, so went with the ring to get a bit more bang from my mediocre offensive creatures and will likely rely heavilly on watercoursers for offense (also nice synergy with the ring). I was really hoping to get some Searing Spears or a Switcheroo, but I'll settle for 2 Krenko's Command 's (plus any archaomancer shannanigans) combined with the Arms Dealer . Pretty solid counter magic combined with instants and a flash flyer makes for tough decisions by my opponent. I'm actually wondering whether I should have tried to add a Rewind or two considering the number of ways I have to use mana on my opponent's turn. All in all, I'd love to test drive this deck and would be extremely pleased with it were it not for the fact that I saw WAY too many white and green bombs passed late.

I took something else instead of the sleep pack two. I didn't take goblin arsonist 3rd and I didn't see the searing spear pack three. Other than that and some late picks that didn't matter the same... Grow old or die trying.

At that point, I have to think there is something wrong with the drafting strategy. Round 1: Flames of the Firebrand Turn to Slag Garruk's Packleader Deadly Recluse Prey Upon Bond Beetle Slumbering Dragon Naturalize Wild Guess Archaeomancer Hydrosurge Warclamp Mastiff Glorious Charge Craterize Plains Round 2: Sentinel Spider Garruk, Primal Hunter Acidic Slime Elvish Visionary Rancor Rummaging Goblin Farseek Rancor Spiked Baloth Arbor Elf Arbor Elf Erase Wall of Fire Duress Island Round 3: Arms Dealer Ring of Kalonia Acidic Slime Searing Spear Yeva's Forcemage Goblin Arsonist Elvish Visionary Goblin Battle Jester Vastwood Gorger Vastwood Gorger Plummet Revive Divine Favor Serpent's Gift Island Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do. I've seen angels fall from blinding heights. But you yourself are nothing so divine. Just next in line.

How to be invincible? Show A) Play a singleton deck. B) You need at least one Phylactery Lich and some card with the creature type Sphinx. C) You also want at least three different dragons, two angels and a darkly handsome magician. Jace , Jace of Jace is a good pick for the last one. D) Spike and/or dye your hair, and dress like a ten-year-old would-be street punk. Chains are a must. E) Develop egyptian-god-level blind-topdeck powers. F) Discuss your strategy at length with your opponent, in the middle of the match, preferably right after declaring the beginning of the combat step. G) ??? H) Profit.

I like this deck, I might have made some wrong choices between some picks because of bias. Like I really like elvish visonary so I chose it over the Reach/Death otuch spider. But like I said i feel this deck is pretty good and I really like it.
