You guys must be talking about "fist kid". His head was the size of a fist, but he was supagood! I went 9-4 and 3/4 of my losses were to top-8'ers (Arthur, Ryan and Blaine).
I've just returned from atlanta, with results , I can't find them posted anywhere else so I'll post them here! I was playing Solar Flair ( UWB Reanimator) and got 10th with a record of 9-3-1. Our own Gavin ( Lesergo ) also placed highly in 12th place with a record of 9-4 playing French U/W. Just thought i'd let MTGS know!
Solifuge: "I have haste, trample and can't be removed."
Rumbling Slum: "I make 3/3 scab clan's on turn 5! I also act as abyss unless they have anything good in hand."
Needle:
1st: Drift, shuts down combo
2nd: Muddle, shuts down outs such as Naturalize, Punishment or Boomerang
3rd: Top
However, this all changes based on the board position. Obviously if they are missing land drops and spinning their top constantly, I'd needle top. Just use your best judgement.
Wonderful article! You analyzed a very difficult format, and established a set of rules to help a fairly new drafter. Hope to read more of your articles.
"My turn two saw Tribe Elder come down and take one for the team against the Mauler". Yeah, blocking a trampling 3/3 and taking 4 is better than blocking a kird ape :-/.
Turn 3 Swing with ape, Ninjutsu Ninja, draw a card, drop ape and hold for counter or burn eot.. u should have 4 mana sources at this point (3 land, bop) and 3 mana open after dropping the ape.
Did I say I wanted the U/R Decklist? I want the lists with the #of cards and different decks in the top 8. I'm glad you read someone's post before insulting them. I see there is a locked link with card names in a deck, and you have the u/r deck. However, if I am mistaken and there is a link within 10 posts of mine, I apologize to you, einsteinmonkey.
EDIT - I'm sorry, I found them, but it wasn't as easy as you claimed. Why did you act like a dick when I asked a question?
I simply play the same list that he played, but I took out vitu ghazi because they only produce colorless and are mana intensive. It just hindered my mana base and tempo. I would rather add some swamps/forests so the deck can be more consistent. Also, I added 4 carven caryatid and naturalize to the sb for gruul. Also, how do we beat ghost dad?
He's talking about the commisionning for art and pay for R+D. So far, Pfisiar seems to be making the most sense in this thread.
R_E - you sell dual lands for 7.50? Hook me up!
I'm the indian kid from the hotel who got 16th.

End of discussion :).
Wait, can you pitch it for 2? That's the Punishment part (B/G) and doesn't meet the W requirements for Shining Shoal.

Ninjutsu for 0 is tech.
