rstnme rolls:

Sending out opening hands to keep / mulligan now. You can declare which you're going to do right in this thread.

~SE++

Toughie, but I'll keep it.

Gotta mull

New Opening Hand sent to rstnme. He will be on the play when ready.

~SE++

I'll keep and play a Selesnya Guildgate. What's JaC's commander again? I get to draw?

(1) No draw on the first turn that I am aware of unless it's multiplayer.

(2) His commander is Derevi, Empyrial Tactician.

(3) Check the other Commander PbP game (between myself and altimis) for formatting expectations.

~SE++

Ooooh blinky bird with commander damage for the win. I own the deck, it's super fun to play.

Play Selesnya Guildgate tapped.

Pass turn.

I mostly just made this deck because I already had a Bird tribal deck. I put Derevi as commander in it only 5 days ago. There's bound to be stuff that I forgot

As turn 3 comes to a close, rstnme has drawn first blood on JaC, and is now staring him down with two 2/2 creatures to JaC's empty board. Neither Derevi, Empyrial Tactician nor Ghave, Guru of Spores have had a chance to make an appearance as of yet, but the game is still young and only two damage have been dealt so far. Good luck in the coming Round 4!

React to the Scavenging Ooze activation by tapping the Relic of Progenitus so you have to remove a card from your graveyard. Which would be the Heart, so no life for you and Ooze remains 2/2
