What sort of matchmaking do you have that you keep seeing all these R1s?

It's Xbox one which always seems wonky with its match making. Every time I watch CGB stream, he hits all sorts of ranked players including quite a few baby seals.


@Barney, that stupid throne eh? Don't like it?

i'm playing tons of rank 35, rank 40 and rank 39s too. I just don't report it, so you're having some confirmation bias on the rank 1s. There's not that many. Anyway I seem to be losing to them the most, lol

Elk, nono I really like the Throne :) It does all sorts of fun math for me. I love it, your deck rocks. Also the throne against his Thalia was SO FUNNY. I kept plinking him all the time which really added up with the Servants.


ok so onto Round 6

We start things off with Flakymage's zombie shuffle... i came up against a RBU artifact durdling deck. It was really weird but effective. The biggest decision I had to make was to either ultimate Gideon or make a token. I started by making a token which died, then he put even more pressure and all I had was two wayward servants (with that stupid zombie land and a shambling vent) so I decided to ultimate him. The problem was if I started swinging with Gideon, I THINK he has to attack and kill gideon which buys me an extra turn of life I think. I still don't think it would have been enough. He had TONS of creatures and tons of abilities triggering off artifacts coming into play. I don't think I could have won this one. It didn't help that I did that stupid 1-black mana Supernatural Stamina on a zombie token to try and save it. OOPS. 5-1. I didn't delete this deck yet cuz it's the first one in round six. If all other decks lose, we start the round over but if even one deck wins then...*RIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP*

ok, i'm starving, I'm gonna go get some KFC so i can have some diarrhoea


Ok we're back and Elk is up...had to mull to six but pulled off a good win with four land opener against Radkos. 6-0

Kels deck then fights Izzet mill and wrecks it. I had an early Dawn in my yard so that must have been discouraging . 6-0

We can safely eliminate flakys shuffle now

WWs aggro next...win against mono green ? 6-0

Modulos yolo next to close out this round...really long match against Boros Vehicles but Wharf Infiltrator started things off making horrors and sending Scrounger, haunted dead and Analgram to the yard. Perfect. After that we start rolling with Cryptbreaker and Zcolossus. With some perfect Fatal pushes . A real symphony of horrors for opponent. 6-0


Ok at the end of the sixth round only four decks remain! Trying to get this down to two. I can't believe mine is still in the running. Modulo is often in the top, I'm thrilled to see Elk here and it's nice to see WW making another strong showing

Round Seven

Back to snake drafting, let's start with yolo by Modulo...

Don't fail me now BB! I made it to the last round of your testing before only to end up 3rd or 4th. I feel some history repeating all of a sudden.

I'll do my best! Congrats on top four :)

Remember top two get featured on my twitch for Mort to see :)

Hilarious first match of round 7. I'm playing Modulos Yolo deck against a rank 1 mono red. I keep a risky two swamp opener with 2 wanderers, Wharf Infiltrator, small Lilly and something useless. Ok first of all this guys mike is on. On Xbox when you see the guys avatar and the match is loading, mikes are open. So the guy must recognize my avatar (big Lilly on top of sunset swamp) and all of a sudden I hear through my tv speakers, "oh f**king Christ, every time I see this avatar I get my freaking a$$ handed to me". So he drops goblin arsonist and as I'm swinging into him with wanderer i hear some woman in the back yelling something. Sounds like dinner and then this guy goes all Atma on me and starts swearing about how he just started a match. He blocks with arsonist and is so distracted he forgets to assign damage to my face and he starts f bombing before the mic gets cut. Brilliant. I hope I find this guy again, he was great, entertainment wise. 7-0

WWs aggro next...

Omg same guy!!!! I play WWs aggro and I see I'm up against demon stripper and I'm thinking "if this is on volcano background, it's the same guy" and sure enough as the magma background comes into view , I hear "ah man not this guy again. I'm going to probably just have to quit like last time!!" But his Boros fat stack of commons only actually lasted until t6 which was most impressive with me at 14 life because of two Anguished Unmaking I cast. 7-0

And i hit The cap, so Elk is going to have to wait to see if his deck (and mine!) will survive round 7.

I love that both Modulo and WW basically got a free pass for round 7 cuz of that rank 1, awesome.

Won't get to play right away tomorrow evening for Barney has a lady friend coming over

Oh boy Vampire cars next, this may be my favourite , I dunno...UGH, Jesus Christ what a bad game. I mulligan a One swamp into a one swamp which I mulligan into a no swamp which I mulligan into a two swamp with Aetherbirn, Cruiser and Mastery. I keep and draw into a Belcher. Now my curve is perfect I just need to draw land bon stop. I start with a five lander and get 13 cards deep with no more land in sight. This guy is a rank one playing four-colour réanimation deck (as you do). He plays nothing until t6 where he ever afters a Gaea Revenge and hydra. T7 he Chandra ignitions the hydra, killing his own GR with me holding up a Grasp which does nothing. And as the cherry on The sundae as I'm tearing up this stupid deck into a million pieces I get a message from the rank one, "that deck can't b the 1 u used to climb 2 40....GG". If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does. That damn Cucho has betrayed me twice in two days! Lol. Jeez does he ever build fun decks tho. 3-1


BB, we are gonna have to redeem this, I mean Gideon of the trials and rank 1!!! Jeez!!
Glad you get to enjoy the deck, it did needed some optimization, my favourite for the challenge is Modulo, but the power of Orzhov is undeniable lets see how all the feedbacks come.

Most likely. It's already like déjà vu. Same thing happened last time where BB just had two easy/concession matches followed by his next match with several confessed pilot errors. So I foresee a repeat coming my way. :D

I'm really surprised by that loss, tbh. I'm not surprised that my deck lost a game, but I would have thought its matchup vs. flingdrake would be good. I'm very disappoint. :-/

I still really wish I could have made the esper deck viable. I'll have to see what others did in that regard. Love these competitions.

What are your answers to fling Drake? I felt totally powerless and I was holding up answers !!

Also how does my deck have votes yet??! It's good!

There is no answer to fling Drake, unless you have counters. Your only chance is to be faster than your opponent, maybe having some non combat damage effects when he starts with fogs. In your case killing Baral is a must 90% of the times.

We have a lot of removal in the deck. I'd have thought it was enough removal. Almost makes me want to build a version, I haven't messed with fling drake yet.

Actually I was kind of surprised by this. Not that your deck doesn't have votes, but the lack of votes. I wasn't active in the last handful of contests so I don't know if it's a decline in interest or a lack of interest in the theme this time? I just assumed there would have been a lot more activity by this point.

I just don't have many opportunities to test. I should play them round robin instead of trying to play 5 at a time with each so that I can at least vote based on experience. As it is I don't want to vote blindly. 11 decks is a lot to playtest...

I don't vote unless I test, so none from me this time. And a lot of people don't vote until after they are done, so a lot of votes come in right at the end, which imo is a good thing.

Yeah, still testing over here.

Sl33phumper's Anointed Walkers
Record: 3-4
Notes: it's fun if you get a perfect draw, or if you're up against mediocre aggro, but otherwise it's just too slow and one dimensional.
MVP: Fatal Push, binding mummy
Ditch: Evolving Wilds. There's enough 4-5cc stuff that I don't think you want to thin out your mana base.
