"Creatures? Who Needs Creatures?!" - August 20, 2014

There's something to be said for having creatures in your deck. I think the biggest thing I learned this week is that good spells don't necessarily take the place of creatures, even the weaker ones. Aside from the usual variance troubles, having a mitt full of spells doesn't do much if you don't have targets. You may notice that our sound issues have returned. Hopefully we'll get that patched up for next week. In the mean time, enjoy!




During the draft, we could have gone a few different ways. The way we ended up going had potential, but it didn't quite come together.


I've noticed during my M15 league experiences that the popular archetypes rule this format with marginal room to move outside of them, and if we'd settled on an archetype earlier, it probably would have gone much better for us.

Another thing I've noticed is that we should be more aware of what's in the colours we're facing, and not just what we've seen of a particular deck. For example, sideboarding in Hot Soup would have been a good idea in round three, as blue black has no direct damage, and it would have given us another target for our Ensoul Artifact.

As it stands, the deck worked pretty well considering, and the games were definitely fun.

Thanks for watching, and we'll see you next time.

P.S. Sorry for the crackling in round 3. I was hungry.
