One last match with BeckerDotDec

Standard Nonsense: Part Seven

Mike and switched decks again…this time to the deck formerly known as Mono Cascade. Apparently Jon Becker was peeved (imagine that) that the deck was not actually “mono-anything” — color, cascade, what-have-you. Mike has taken to calling the deck BeckerDotDec in honor of our curmudgeonly friend. This was definitley my favorite deck that we played on the evening although it felt pretty cumbersome at times with all the do nothing turns and come-into-play tapped lands. Still it was a lot of fun to play and really highlighted for me just how powerful Blightning is against the Planeswalkers strategies we kept seeing on MTGO that evening.

Another match played with Nissa’s Last One Chosen

Standard Nonsense: Part Four

Mike and I switched decks and started playing with a “slightly awkward” Nissa Revane creation of Mike’s. Nissa Revane definitley seemed like it could be a real Constructed card at the right moment in time…just not sure that moment is now.
