GAME DAY WEEKEND

How was everyone’s game day weekend go? I didn’t get to go to mine since I had important stuff to do. But I did manage to finish off my mardu deck, which still needs a little bit more work done to it since for some reason I have trouble getting the swamp I need to cast things with. It seems to be a better deck now to play with, but it still needs that little something in there.

Im not certain of how to get more black spells in there or swamps. But it seems like I add more stuff in and I get less other stuff I need out. But I gave it a try anyways to add in 2 more swamp to the mix. Multi-color decks are hard to make for me, but when it comes to 2 color or 5 color decks I have no problem. For some reason or another I have trouble with 3 color decks, they almost never work out for me. I do have a 3 color deck but it’s the only 3 color deck that actually works for me.

So my newly revised deck is on TAPPEDOUT.COM <-- click that to go to the deck on the website, suggestions and advice are always welcomed. Maybe I can try this deck out on a FNM at some point soon. I just don’t know if it’d be good enough to hold out some wins.

How well did you do on your game day weekend and what deck did you use?

CONTINUING TO MARDU PART DEUX

        I went through all my standard cards and picked out what would be a best fit for the mardu deck. I figure (also help from a friend) control would be a good addition to the mardu deck. Of course I probably picked out like over 100 (seems like) cards I thought would help fit into the deck but I cant be having a 160 card deck around.

I went through my theros block to search for cards fitting in with the mardu colors.  Surprisingly to me I have more white cards than anything else. Which shouldn’t be too surprising because white is pretty good with removal/control. I will give you a list of cards I thought might be fitting for the deck and I will post it on the tappedout.com page where my deck is in the maybe board. In person I will experiment with the newly picked out cards into the deck before messing around with it online (it’s also a pain to be moving and typing new cards in).

Game day is in less than three days. I have not the slightest idea of what to bring (if I am even going) deck wise to the event. The list of cards below are listed as how many I actually have not how many will go into the deck, because some cards can be one to many of and screw up the game because I wouldn’t be able to draw what I needed in order to stay alive.

CONTINUING TO MARDU

So I took it upon myself (since I got no help from anyone) to make a complete the mardu limited deck into a 60 card standard deck with the rest of the khans of tarkir cards. Took only a very few cards out but adding quite a few in since it needs enough to make it a 60 card deck.

I tested it out a few time and it seems like I have one problem with the deck so far, mana. I have 26 of them in there, maybe it’s 2 to many, but if I take two away then I’m going to need to add two more spells (meaning creatures and other permanents) to keep it at the 60 card count. I could get rid of one duel land and the lands I have in the deck already would make up for it, or maybe not.

I’m considering maybe moving away from the idea of keeping it as a khans only deck and add in cards from the theros block. I feel like a lot of card in the theros block could fit very well with the khans cards, maybe changing the whole deck entirely into making it around the surkhan, the dragon speaker Planeswalker card. I believe I do have a lot of dragon cards that are still standard I can use for it. But reality is I want to keep it a mardu deck.

Game day is coming up next weekend on the 19th of October. I would really like to make this deck as good as possible to get a higher win than I got from the last game day I did placing 5th out of 16 players, or maybe I can go with my other sliver deck that is standard to the event. Who knows what I will decide when the day comes.  I really want this mardu deck to work for me and I like the new clans and wedges to mess around with. Here’s my 60 card mardu deck, click here to see for yourself and test it out to see what you think could be a good addition to the deck. Any suggestions and advice is welcomed.

What do you plan on bringing to game day? And standard deck you already have or a newly brewed deck from khans of tarkir?

LIMITED DECK

I have a deck I made from sealed prerelease event of khans of tarkir. My plan is to make it into a 60 card standard deck, now for some reason a lot of people are against doing such a thing. But wither way you look at it, it’s still being constructed either way you do it.

I went 1-2 at the prerelease, but I still feel that it’s a pretty good deck to play with, which is why I want to make it a 60 card deck to use for standard FNM or whatever event that will allow standard deck to be played. What I’m going to do (if I get any suggestions) is experiment with it to see what it can turn into. I do have other cards from other sets I can probably put in, but I kind of want to see how it looks with just the khans cards.

Here is the limited deck I used for the prerelease I have it set up on tappedout.com <---click that to go to it and playtest it if you like and give some suggestions. I will make a switch up on the limited deck for my blog on Friday, Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. I’m hoping to have a 60 card deck before then. As of when I would go and try it out at an event is still kind of up in the air for now. The maybeboard on the site are what cards I have from khans as of right now, and those are the cards I like to use to make this a 60 card deck. The other cards I have that are still standard is still an option, but as of right now I want it to be a khans deck of cards.
