Nerd Alert! Magic the Gathering

In many thousands of games in real life, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten the many lands (or no lands) in a row. It’s happened more times than I can recall in Arena. The fifteen-ish lands in a row was later into a long game. Opponent wasn’t able to touch me, so we just sat and watched my cavalcade of lands for a while. I never did draw a non-land card, so I did lose eventually.

I was tempted to rage-quit this fucking match so many times. This guy was playing a bullshit Alchemy Commander and a bunch of Alchemy cards. However, I decided to see it through because I had Blightbeetle out early, which prevented him from running away with it. He exiled Blightbeetle after a couple of turns, but it gave me enough time to get a decent boardstate.

I boardwiped him with Ritual of Soot, which allowed me to finish him off. Fuck Alchemy!

Hahaha! RTFC! My opponent sac’ed his Cathar Commando to destroy Xenagos, God of Revels only to learn the hard way that the card said “indestructible”.

The matchmaking is rigged. I understand that you are matched up with an opponent who’s deck is perceived to be relatively equal to your own, but when you keep running into the same strategy time after time depending on your deck…

For instance, yesterday I had a run of 3 LOTR-themed decks in a row. I switched decks and hit a run of 3 or 4 red “haste” decks in a row…

Today, I’m running into hand-denial deck after hand-denial deck. Burglar Rat, Elderfang Disciple, Duress, Rankle, Tinybones…

Everyone likes a good comeback story! Guy had me down to 2 life. I popped off with the Elementals and destroyed him with a 256/256 Mossborn Hyrdra on my next turn.

Mishra says, “Fuck your Eldrazi.”

Once I had my win-con, the asshole started roping.

Is it just me? Whenever I find myself facing a commander that I personally use, I feel duty-sworn to beat them! Muldrotha, the Gravetide is arguably my favorite commander, so when I find myself facing a Muldrotha deck, I must assert my dominance!

I love it when my deck works exactly the way its supposed to even without my commander in play.

I feel like I’ve hit some sort of milestone…

Here’s a better pic:

This guy ended with -278,513 life. I almost feel as if it’s worth some sort of reward. It isn’t, but it feels like it should be!

I made a couple of edits to my Mishra, Claimed by Gix brawl deck. Basically, I swapped in some additional cards to generate Powerstones. None of the individual cards are great, just decent, but they have made a big difference in how the deck synergizes.

Of course, we have assholes like the match above who quit playing once I’ve played my win-con (Portal to Phyrexia). Just hit the “Concede” button, asshole!!!
