EPTbest kill conditions are monument/ezuri or mirror entity, combo elves are pretty bad without GSZ imo
-edit-
for the guy asking about cube stuff, didn't look at it too carefully but zephyr sprite is pretty bad and should probably be replaced

Some other thoughts for this deck include rancor and strangleroot geist for some reasonably resilient early pressure. | ||

Some other thoughts for this deck include rancor and strangleroot geist for some reasonably resilient early pressure. Geist is giant trap, as is Rancor. You want to drop turn 3 big things with Elves or combo off. Vorapede is a better idea. Geist is just terrible at 2, you want 3s. You want to go 1 to 3 for Archdruid then to whatever you want from there. If you want resilence you can opt for Fresh Meat (caller of the claw in instant form). | ||

EDIT: OSHI...Reaver portrait ftw. Pat's is hosting, it's gonna be at the Norris Convention Center (I think top 8 is back at Pat's though). Also hosting an SCG IQ at the same venue if you'd rather play Standard or scrub out of the PTQ fast enough. | ||

Last PTQ I competed in I played U/R/w in 6 INN sealed without a single instant or sorcery apart from Blasphemous act, 2 Snapcaster Mages, and 2 splashed Bonds of Faith. I think the entire pool had like 16 playable creatures over all 5 colors, horrible. Thanks for the info. | ||

Doesn't seem like older chinese cards are worth more than the english ones, so the box is probably valued at the same as an English apoc box. Had a very nice draft, always feels good when you end up with 30+ playables because your colors were super wide open. | ||

So far I'm looking into some super cheap GB Aggro, will probably field Rakdos Cacklers and Diregrafs and stuff like that if I can find them cheap enough. Any suggestions? From the games I've spectated inbetween playing, it seems like the level of play varies greatly at least on the new player rooms. Seen few powergamers in Planeswalker mode too, which is pretty silly. | ||

Aside from playing the newguy planeswalker mode, I'll probably try to scratch together some sort of Standard deck with the initial few cards and tix that were given. Traded the intial booster for more tix. So far I'm looking into some super cheap GB Aggro, will probably field Rakdos Cacklers and Diregrafs and stuff like that if I can find them cheap enough.

I hope for an aggressive Boros Deck to be viable but Aurelia seems more like a really good addition to Naya because of the relatively high casting cost. Maybe Boros will still play this card but it will probably not be the core of a Boros aggro deck. The planeswalker seems good but a bit lacking at the same time. It seems good for a creature heavy aggro deck but these typically want to lay down another threat on turn 3. It's a nice way to play around wrath effects. In general I think it could have been a little better like letting you chose if you want to put the card on top or bottom of your library. Maybe even start with 4 counters. | ||

They play 4 of Thundermaw Hellkite which goes for like $20 now and Hellrider is up to $6. Not dirt cheap anymore since it caught on, but still relatively cheap for the format. Should have listened to Travis Woo. | ||
