Hey I am back, after playing Magic less and less.
As promised I played my Enchantment focused decks this time. (Which wasn't very good for my ranking :D)
I encountered far less Artifact decks, but maybe just because of my low ranking.

3 Boros decks at first, an Aura Deck and two versions with Hakeems favorite card: Valor in Akros + Flameshadow Conjuring:

Starting at Rank 24

WR Auras 4-6 (viewtopic.php?p=373098#p373098)

1. WRG Control - Win
2. BR Steal&Sac Combo - Win
3. RG Control - Lose (Mana screwed)
4. RG Control - Lose (missed lethal)
5. G Elves Combo - Lose (missed lethal)
6. W Aggro - Lose
7. RG Ramp (LandDestruction) - Lose (missplayed hard)
8. WG Elves - Lose (Mana screwed)
9. UBG Control - Win
10. W Aggro - Win

Conclusion: I screwed up big time, should have won far more games.

WR Valor Mobius 4-6 (viewtopic.php?p=373104#p373104)

1. R Aggro - Win
2. URG Ramp - Lose
3. WB Enchantments Combo - Win
4. RG Ramp - Lose
5. BG Elves Combo - Lose
6. U Artifacts Combo - Win
7. G Ramp - Lose (4 LP)
8. UR Artifact Combo - Win
9. BR Control - Lose
10. BG Control - Lose

Conclusion: Some easy wins and some close defeats.

WR Valor Darkius 7-4 (viewtopic.php?p=373105#p373105)

1. UR Aggro - Lose (missplayed)
2. WB Aura Combo - Lose (Mana screwed)
3. G Ramp - Win
4. WB Control - Lose (Mana flooded)
5. WUG Enchantments Combo - Win
6. WR Auras Combo - Win
7. R Aggro - Win
8. BRG Control - Win
9. WU Aggro - Lose (6 LP)
10. WUB Control - Win
11. W Aggro - Win

Conclusion: Better than expected, unlucky defeats. A lot of fun.

2 Threecolor Enchantment Decks now:

WRG Enchantments/Valor 6-4 (viewtopic.php?p=373108#p373108)

1. WG Renown Combo - Win
2. RG Ramp - Win
3. RG Ramp - Win
4. WG Renown Combo - Lose
5. WB Auras Combo - Win
6. UR Artifacts Combo - Lose
7. R Aggro - Lose
8. WR Aggro - Win
9. UBG Control - Lose (1 LP)

/damnit, deleted everything, have to type it again.... -.-

BFZ is coming to toooown :party:

//imagine here an awesome intro text where I talk about new matches, new decks, new cards, new ranks,... //

Finally I played 40 ranked games in the new (BFZ) season and can show you the results.

A user here wanted sometime ago that I play a Mill deck so I started with my Turbofogmill deck.
I never had the time to play one of the best origins decks, so at next I played an updated version of Megabeasts Temur deck.

Then I had no idea what to play next, because i think my other decks aren't ready for ranks and to show here (I still don't know what decks to play next time..),
so i just picked two very good decks from nga which I played with very often: my version of Kryders Gruul Ramp deck and RDW.

I started at Rank 1 (from zero to hero..!?):

UBG TurboFogMill [BFZ] 8-2 (viewtopic.php?p=393995#p393995)

1. UB Control Ingest - Win
2. B Aggro - Lose (Bad Draw)
3. WB Aggro - Win
4. WUR Aggro - Win
5. WR Aggro - Win
6. BG Control - Lose (Liliana)
7. WU Aggro - Win
8. UB Aggro - Win
9. RG Aggro - Win
10. RG Ramp - Win

Conclusion: Strong deck, but there are so much ways to counter it, so I am not sure, how this deck would work in higher ranks. Also I am not the biggest fan of slow control decks.
Rank 7

URG Temur Beasts [BFZ] 9-1 (viewtopic.php?p=393998#p393998)

1. RG Ramp - Win
2. RG Ramp - Win
3. UB Control - Win
4. WR Aggro - Win
5. WRB Combo Allies - Lose (Mana flooded)
6. U Combo Artifact - Win
7. BG Control - Win
8. WG Ramp - Win
9. G Combo Elves (Mana screwed) - Win
10. UB Control - Win

Conclusion: Still a very, very good deck, with nearly an answer to everything, but it still needs some fine-tuning.
Rank 15

RG RampLD [BFZ] 7-3 (viewtopic.php?p=394003#p394003)

1. UBG Control (Mana screwed) - Win
2. WG Combo Renown - Win
3. BRG Ramp - Lose
4. BRG Ramp (Binderato) - Win
5. RG Ramp - Lose
6. UBG Control Mill - Win
7. UG (Mulligan to 4) - Win
8. WG Aggro - Lose
9. BR Control - Win
10. R Aggro - Win

Conclusion: Strong and fun deck but I have to add more early game.
Rank 19

RDW [BFZ] 8-2 (viewtopic.php?p=394027#p394027)

1. BR Control - Win
2. UR Combo Prowess - Win
3. U Aggro - Win
4. WG Combo Renown - Win
5. UR Control Mill - Win
6. WBG Ramp - Win
7. UBG Control Mill - Win
8. WB Combo Lifegain - Lose
9. UB Control - Win
10. R Aggro - Lose

Conclusion: A RDW deck how I like it. It has its typical up- and downsides.
Rank 25

Just 8 Loses in 40 Games and I climbed from Rank 1 to 25!

The best deck this time:
Temur Beasts

Opponent Colors:
5x RG (4x Ramp)
5x UB (4x Control)
4x WG (just 1x Ramp)
3x UBG (2x Mill)

Opponent Styles:
12x Aggro
12x Control
8x Ramp
7x Combo (Artifact, Elves, Renown, Allies, Prowess)

I haven't been impressed by any of the aristocrats decks, tbh. We don't have everything we need to make it consistent enough for my tastes.

You don't have to be a fan to play them.

Of course, if you're scared...:D

This: viewtopic.php?p=393509#p393509

Or this: viewtopic.php?p=393520#p393520

Both are aristocrats style decks. E.g.: self creature sacrifice decks.

Lots of draw, hard to play against, get up and running early, and then beat the opponent with card advantage. Both play similarly. I'd recommend either build, or you could try to make your own.

He's missing smothering abomination. It's one of the most important cards in the deck, I think it's worth it to try another build. Also missing Vampiric Rites, which while less important is also pretty crucial.

Darkstar, you play whatever you feel like buddy :) If you're short on ideas, here are some:

mono-red burn
izzet thopters
converge
mono green ramp
gruul ramp
gruul monsters
azorious control

that seems good to start...
