 . However, the meta at the tournament was actually pretty damn diverse, elf-rock being the most popular after winning pro-tour Hollywood followed by probably rev-combo and then faeries. There were only 2 fae in the top 8, and of course we got paired for the mirror match to qualify for nationals ^^. However I only played 2 mirrors on the day, not at all bad. I've also been having alot of fun playing lorwyn block constructed. Went down to the boston PTQ this past weekend and went 5-3 playing rainbow elementals. 4-0 against faeries and lost to kithkin and the mirror. I was hoping kithkin would be out of style after having such poor results top 8 and blue envelope-wise the last month or so, so I didn't maindeck firespouts. However, they are the cheapest deck to build so they made up about 30% of the meta with faeries and 5c control variants both around 20%. Faeries are damn good, but they are far from the only meta-choice. There was 1 guy playing merfolk at the boston ptq and he top 8'd. Never quite seen why more people dont play the fish . Maybe eventide will spice things up alittle, though i doubt it'le dethrown the fae. Anyway, gl with the tournament, I don't know enough about the older formats to make it much fun, but I'd love to play in one if you host t2, lor block or even the current extended rotation. | ||

My deck is pretty good too (strictly red, but has green/red creatures with boartusk liege) just because of the speed of it. I'll play something like tattermunge first turn, Vexing Shusher second, Boggart Ram Gang 3rd (for a total of 7 damage not even counting the 2+4 from previous turns), and Boartusk 4th. (giving them all +2/+2) and of course I have lots of Direct Damage and shit like Siege Gang Commanders. I play it on MWS a lot and I win the majority of my games (probably like 70-80%). | ||

Hasn't cloudthresher turned out to be a nice fairy hoser? And hasn't mirrorweave and mutavault turned out to be the saving grace of kithkin decks? I hardly play T2 so I don't really have extended knowledge of the current metagame, but last I heard kithkin decks dominated because of stuff like mutaweaving and mirrorweave on thistledown liege. How do you guys think eventide will change T2? I see alot of cool merfolks (wake thrasher, the counterspell merfolk). | ||

There is lots of Black/white shit that is really good, I predict seeing a bunch of those decks. | ||
