This is the first week of the new set, Avacyn Restored, becoming available. I finished a little research via watching a youtube video by myorangeguy. I don't usually play FNM or play casual magic so ended up 0-4 which wasnt what I was hoping for, but I had fun.

I made a  and  deck today that on the most part played well, although lacked cards that would control, boost and defend. I won some rounds but had some pretty bad hands also. 

The card that one me my first game was Druid's Familiar although I built this card up soulbinded it with Gloomwidow I recall. I was more than lucky to have my opponent just have mana issues.

The card to win my second round of the day was Terrifying Presence a card that on my opponents last turn prevented all damage, allowing me to untap all my creatures and attack them all for a killing victory.

After urgently needing to reassess my limited deck. I got some help from my opponent after the match and he suggested adding a card that won my next round for me.

Heirs of Stromkirk was a very powerful card, which I first overlooked, due mostly to intimidate and red being a weakly held pool in our groups limited decks. Alas, it increased up to around a 7/7 creature and I even pulled it out in two seperate matches although my opponents angel with life link wasnt enough for me to win, although getting my opponent from 17 to 1 life in my final turn. Aw Shucks!

My last opponent I did play two miracles sequentially, Thunderous Wrath or Miracle and casting Thunderbolt in my third turn reduced my opponent to 7 life. Unfortunately I just couldnt draw a Forest Basic Land to play any of my Green Creatures I had in hand.

My deck really didnt change that much over the 4 games I played. But Battle Hymn was by far my worst card. It sat in my first 7 cards several times although I only owned 1 of the kind. I never played it, and dumped it after my 3 game.

Overall I concluded I really enjoyed playing my deck.

You've been playing Magic the Gathering too long when....

 

• Your girlfriend gives a hint at an engagement ring and you reply "I do not have the mana to equip that artifact"
• Your pets suddenly become creatures, you know the Toughness and their Power without having to look at the vet records.
• Your summary of the Afghanistan conflict is that the US army simply did not use enough enchantments.
• When bills arrive in the morning post, you go upstairs to find your blue deck.
• Your mother phones and asks for a chat. You tell her neither did you summon her nor could she ever compete for the domination of the realms as a planeswalker.
• You get in an arguement with the neighbour, you pull out an instant and wait for them to leave.
• Yes you would tap that, but not as much as Liliana !
