Stream Tease

I am gonna stream a bit after downtime is over.  Modern format, I'll give you a hint of what deck I'm playing. 

It has time warp in it! 

a deck from GP Vienna

I nearly choked on my drink when I saw this in day two of GP Vienna. 

I know that the decks are very different but they share a lot of similarities. 

I like the look of this BG Hexproof deck

Christoph Wagner had 30 points after round 14, so he won at least 10 matches (or 7 and drew a ton.)  I'd like to see how his changes worked out in my own testing, but I've just about tested the crap out of it and got bored.  I LOVE the commune with the gods in the deck.  Makes Deathrite that much better.

I recorded the freed from the real podcast today, and that was a treat, I'm looking to get involved more in podcasting with the site, and I think it will be entertaining. 

I wanted to leave a preview for my article that is going up on Monday at PureMTGO.com.  It's a pauper article, so here is a little hint of what to expect.

0-2 the prelims

I hope wotc can fix this prelim stuff, nothing is more unappealing than grinding all season long and then not having a shot after two rounds

played gb, lost to mono black twice.  I guess I used up all my luck in my stream earlier. 

Gonna take a nice long mtgo break after this.  The games were tight, I just worked hard to try to exploit the field, got matched up with a really good matchup twice, and still lost, no punts here though.
