Quest for the Force of Will: Day 2

Today was a train wreck. I played KCI again all day. Some days you draw hot, other days you draw the opposite of that. Today was that day. I played in 7 events. I went 2-8. I won 1 QP. I incinerated 42 tickets, and won 3 packs, so I'm down, but not as down as I could be. I'm down 20 on the day. I played against 8 decks today. I lost 4 really good matchups due to just not getting there. No play mistakes were made, and two of the matches I lost were to Twin. I beat affinity, which should have told me that today was going to be a weird day. I also beat merfolk, both of those decks are AWFUL Matchups. Gonna wake up and try again tomorrow!

Quest for the Force of Will: Day 1.

Sure, sure. I know that season 5 of the MOCS actually started yesterday, but I did not play after downtime came back up. (Well that's not true, I did two man a lot. I picked up a set of Lion's Eye Diamonds on the cheap thanks to the promo price! Played a lot of Legacy Belcher!) Today marked my first day of actually playing with the goal of getting QPs. I played from 1pm to 1030pm, which sounds like a lot of sitting in front of my computer, and that is true, but I managed to do the dishes, some laundry, and buy a little bit of groceries. So I was kinda active and not just sitting here. I played in 6 Modern events, Krark-Clan Ironworks combo was the only thing I played. On the day I played against 12 different modern decks. I only played against Zoo more than once, and to be fair, one of them was Counter Cat, and the other was Tribal Flames. So I could say that they were different! Overall I went 8-5 in the matches that I played. I went 0-1 in two 8 mans. I went 1-1 in another two 8 mans, and went 3-0 in one. The Daily event I played in saw me go 3-1. I earned 3 qps. I won 15 packs. After selling the packs I am up 13 tickets after paying the 24 ticket entry fees. I'll have an article up on Puremtgo.com or Legitmtg.com recapping my season.

Bug Control

This is what I am currently playing in Standard. Rough matchups seems to be Mono Red if I stumble on mana. I've not seen enough of the mono black devotion to judge it properly. Will be playing it some more
