Izzet Blitz guide by Starstorm edited. Thank you for your contribution.
Report by Starstorm added. Table of Contents->Tournament Reports.

Since people are active playing the deck.. I asked my friend Metalraptor. He made for us a new banner at the Tournament Report section.

@everyone
To anyone with experience in the match up.. looking for someone who wants to write a guide on how to play and sideboard against Hardened Scales Affinity - the updated version that use Urza's Saga.
Hardened Scales is now at Table of Contents->Matchups and Sideboarding. It is below the Infect guide.
it has a status of "waiting for contributor".
that new list looks strong. Looking forward to see it in action on your next tournament.
glad to know that Tron, which is the natural predator of our deck, is on the decline.
Keranos, god of storms.. brings back memories, I remember this card from the time Splinter Twin was still legal.. some twin players had a copy of this god in their sideboard.
this wolf is the kind of creature I would try to kill right away, if I'm playing against a stompy deck.
maybe the new enhcantress cards are raising it's price?

thanks for the contribution Starstorm.
actually, it's fine if you tailor your sideboard guide to the list you are currently using, if that would make it more effective - after all, we are trying to be as competitive as possible. Take Amulet Titan as an example.. there are two guides there, one by Fincown, and one by Gerant -- each guide I assume uses cards from lists that they use.
Tournament Reports section also updated.

that's unfortunate on the last fnm. There's always next time. Info from the losses, can help for changes to make the deck better for the next fnm.
And I'm glad you shared bad results as well, since it shows our deck also can do poorly - if only good results are posted in the thread, new people who come here might think the deck is almost unbeatable, build the deck, and then get disappointed if the deck lose.
it's too bad with the uw control game, but beating Jund and Lantern Control showed that the deck is competitive.
perhaps threat heavy hands would have allowed to put up a better fight against the uw deck, since threat heavy hand was able to beat Jund?

Primer update:
Spencerinnd_fnm added to Tournament Report section.
have only managed to read this now. Nice, that was an exciting game against Orzhov Stoneblade. Yeah, I imagine Tourach Dread Cantor would be a real pain since he's pro-white, good thing Court Hussar was there to save the day. Well, I guess Emeria managed to outlast the opponent.
congrats on the good result.

Elite Spellbinder added to the primer. Table of contents -> card choices -> he's beside Skyclave Apparition.

on another topic. You seem to have plenty of experience fighting Izzet Blitz decks.. if you want, and have the time. Can you write a short guide on how to play and sideboard against it? Will add your guide to the primer, and write your name as the contributor.
welcome to the thread. And goodluck in the tournament.
Lurrus of the Dream-Den added to creatures. At Table of Contents - click card choices.
Irrigated Farmland rating dropped to 2. Changed description as well, indicating Raugrin Triome as the better land, because Raugrin has synergy with PE.
Raugrin Triome rating increased to 3.

still using mortarpod in my build as well, although only two copies. It's another 2 cmc blocker. The +1 toughness boost to whoever equips it is often relevant. And the ping once emeria is active can knockout people who are low enough on life.
I notice the card Elite Spellbinder in your deck. Can I hear your thoughts on this card? What match-ups has it been useful so far. Will add it to card choices. And what do you think it's rating should be?
added your list to the Decklist section of the primer (at Table of Contents click Decklist). Yours is second from the top. Just below Plichow's list.
if there's something wrong on how I described it, just let me know, and I will edit.
congrats on the good finish!
among the people active on the thread. I notice that you're the only one playing Skyclave Apparition. I think it's a good card.
can I add your list to the primer, so we would have a sample list with Skyclave Apparition there?
I notice you have Pilgrim's Eye maximized to 4. Is it for use as blocking the flying threats from UR prowess?
forsake the worldly feels like a decent answer to kaldra compleat and enemy batterskulls.
4 verdicts? Looks like you're fine tuning your deck for a specific environment.
