Jeskai domination is the real deal.Yuuya Watanabe swept the floor with Jon Finkel to maximize the latter's mana screw... it was so uneven. Similarly, Shaun McLaren's Jeskai list was able to shoot his opponent for like 13 damage in a single turn...
I'll stick to my guns and play Temur though, since all Jeskai is doing is shoot Rabblemasters to like $30 and Mantis to like, over $10... but note to self: the Superfriends version might be too slow... Ascendancy, ramp or tempo are the next experiments.
So many different flavours, rofl xD. Burn, Control, Tokens, Combo... Geez. I was so happy to hear that the Ascendancy combo decks are doing well, and I like the Altar of the Brood tech. I should try it in my deck sometime. My tech, in case I can't just attack with my creatures, is Burning Anger.
Yeah, that's unfortunate. I kinda wanted to see Jon's deck go off. But that happens sometimes.... It's a darn shame it happened on camera.
Speaking of darn shames, it's almost comical how badly UB does on camera, even though people are doing well with it. I was actually a bit surprised that pros thought it was a real deck. Makes me pretty happy~
I had an idea for a sort of Arisocrats-like style of deck with Butcher of the Horde and Grim Haruspex and Bloodsoaked Champion, but I need to find more things I can repeatedly sacrifice, another sac outlet, and creatures with "when this dies" effects.
I also started having more inspiration for that Mysterious Plans deck, so hopefully I can compile a list in time.

Played a Standard and Modern tournament at a convention here on base today. Was loads of fun.Played my Sultai Reanimator and was surprised that I went 3-2 with it. Pain lands suck though xP.
Went 4-1 with UR Twin in Modern and was happy with that as well.
Just good day for MtG and Street Fighter. :) (Played SF after Standard, won the whole SF tournament, then rolled into Modern. My brain is fried xP)
Got a box of JPN Khans. Pulled all 5 fetches, a foil Phoenix, and some decent rares here and there. (Posting pics in the morning)
How slow is your deck? I'd imagine you wouldn't want the pains at all if the games go long. My friend cut all of his fetches and most of his painlands in his RWU Narset since he expected games to go long. It was also a bit of a meta choice, he has some of the refuge lands in his deck specifically because there's a bunch of aggro players at our shop.
Of course, Reanimator is pretty combo-y, since it sneaks out a guy really fast, they might be fine, unless you truly are concerned about the damage.
Good job in SF and Modern~ What did you lose to in Modern? UR Twin is a pretty versatile deck, it could beat most things.

For sure, having to count it up, when not doing so casually at home, is pretty annoying. I kinda like counting up my change when I'm at home, though.I kinda would like to see a large payment in pennies though, rofl. I haven't seen so many pennies in one place before xD
[color=#ff69b4]I can see it now. Someone right now as we talk is buying a $5,000 TV in nothing but pennies xD

I once counted out 200-something pennies in order to pay for a card. Most people get upset with me, lol, but the store needed pennies, so they happily let me pay with em
[color=#ff69b4]I just feel like if you pay for anything that over like $10 in pennies and you're not giving them it in a rolling or something to make it easy on them that you're a of a ass in that person eyes xD

(This is a joint post between BlinkXPoke and TheLoneGentman)
Soul and the others were well out of the forest, and on their way back to the waycastle. Everyone was exhausted including Soul. Keeping such a large form for that long was stressful on his body, but he pushed himself through the fatigue. Though his slowed pace was very noticeable.
“Soul I think we are safe now. We can walk a bit if you would like to rest.” offered Marian. Soul’s right eye slid to the back of his head and looked at Marian and the others.
“You all look worse than me,” said Soul. his voice was warped and each word came along with a click of his bizarre jaw. “I’ll have us at the way castle soon. Just sit tight.” His eye slid back to proper condition.
“Thank you, Chief Soul…” Sonya said wearily while still riding on Soul’s back. She was worn out from the battle. Though it was the first time in a while she felt such excitement while fighting, it recently sunk in that Luna was no longer with them. Why did she defy Marian… Why’d she leave us, especially Charlotte? I thought Luna at least be loyal to her… Sonya became lost in thought, wondering about the people she was acquainted with who all suddenly disappeared. Where is Selanus, as well…? Shouldn’t he be helping us, to avenge Alma? She felt that there was some personal connection between Selanus and Alma, thus his depression, but the details of how she was killed was still unknown to Sonya. She was still under the assumption that someone may have assassinated her.
“Cheer up kid, shits gonna happen.” said Charlotte patting her on the back. “What matters is what did as we were ordered. Which means Cain won’t be at our throats.”
“Yeah, I suppose…” She wouldn’t dare to question orders from Soul and Marian, but Sonya wondered where Cain would fit into this puzzle. All she really knew about Cain is that he stays in seclusion in his castle. She shrugged off the thought, though, suddenly longing for more rest. “Are we almost back?” She asked, wanting to rest in a secure room after all that has happened.
“We will be there soon enough,” answered Marian.
As they approached the waycastle Soul leapt over the gate and grinded to a halt on the other side. Luckily for him there was plenty of room to land on the bridge. Laying down exhausted he let the passengers on his back off. Breathing heavily Soul began to revert to his human shape.
A group of soldiers ran up to Marian as she climbed off. “Things didn’t go well I take it.” asked a soldier.
“They never do,” answered Marian. “We completed what we set out to do, and that is enough.”
“We have a situation here as well.” answered the soldier. “We received word that Prison Raskana was attacked, and the warden was killed.”
Marian gritted her teeth. “Was anything taken?”
“A prisoner that they had recently captured,” answered the soldier. “And some files from the warden’s office. They were taken by her nephew, Selanus.” Charlotte hearing this laughed under her breath.
Hearing Selanus’ name set off something in Sonya. “Wait, why would he do that? The prison is run by his aunt, right? Kristina, was it?” She knew a bit from her father. He mentioned it a few times when there was company by some government officials.
“That boy is becoming troublesome indeed.” she said. Soul had just finished cracking his bones back into shape and formed clothing over himself from his own skin.
“What do you want to do about him?” asked Soul rotating his shoulder.
“Nothing for now.” answered Marian. ”Who ever did this was powerful. Any word on who did it?”
”No the prison riot saw to that…” answered the guard.
“Heh, understood. Then I’m going to take a nap.” said Soul walking off in the direction of the barracks. Marian stood lost in thought for a moment thinking about what she should do. Selanus was digging himself a deeper and deeper hole, and eventually nothing she could do would save him.
“What do we do now, Representative Marian?” Sonya asked in a disheartened voice. She was exhausted from the recent battle, and very worried about not only Luna and Selanus, but the Cursed Army in general. Two elites have left their ranks, and they had suffered some seemingly major defeats in recent memory.
“We got out point across.” answered Marian. “I wasn’t planning to lose anyone, but I can’t say that I wasn’t prepared for it.” Marian turned to Sonya seeing the worry in her eyes. “You were close to Elite Luna I take it?”
Sonya lowered her head as she reminisced about previous conversations she had with Luna. “She was fun to talk to… I thought we could be friends.” She answered honestly. She and Luna had been close comrades, having participated in some battles together, and Sonya was comfortable fighting alongside her, and even just chatting with her given the opportunity.
†˜You will probably see her again,” said Marian. “Well with her attitude maybe not…” Marian’s thoughts seemed to drift off a bit before she came back to Sonya. “We all lose…” started Marian. “Man I suck at this…” Bruin walked up to the two interrupting.
“Mind if I take it from here Representative?” asked Bruin leaning in between the two of them.
“Sure,” answered Marian taking her leave, and trusting Bruin to handle Sonya.
“Marian isn’t really good with the whole consoling thing,” said Bruin. “And apparently I’m not good with the whole fighting thing. I got a bit messed up out there.” Bruin smiled ear to ear. “But like Marian said you will probably see that meat head again.”
“I really hope so…” Sonya was still somewhat depressed, but wanted to try to be optimistic. She understood that sacrifices had to be made in order for victory to be achieved. “It’ll be fine in the end… It will all pay off soon enough…” She mumbled, convincing herself. Her loyalty remained unshaken, but her will was somewhat damaged by the losses. Bruin’s words lifted her spirits a bit, though. “Thanks, Bruin…” she murmured softly. “Perhaps we should train more for the next skirmish. You won’t get so beat up next time!” She giggled a bit, and a small smile returned to her face. “I need to practice better techniques, too…” Sonya murmured to herself, taking out the small magical doll she had used once before in combat from her pocket. It hasn’t proven useful yet, so she decided that she wouldn’t use it anymore, keeping it just as a reminder of home.
“You got it kid,” Bruin said kindly tussling Sonya’s hair. He saw that even though Sonya was fighting in the thick of it, she was still a kid at heart. He questioned the reason that she was with them, but it was Soul himself that picked her. He had no room to question it. “Let’s get inside, it will be late soon.”
