Back in the saddle again

Posted by Mr Z on November 17th, 2009 filed in Ramblings

Well I have taken the plunge and started playing competitive constructed Magic again – after a break of almost 9 years.

My first hit outsaw me piloting a net deck build of Jund Agro in standard. First time playing the deck and I must confess to being happy with the result! I went 3-1-1, before being knocked out in the top 8 by another Jund deck piloted by a seasoned veteran!

I must admit that I do like Jund as a deck – sure it is boring – and somewhat predictable – but it has dragons!!!! I love them dragons!!! Besiudes, most constructed decks have limited numbers of individual cards available.

My mana base was a little loose due to the lack of some of the cards needed. I am taking steps to resolve this limitation for the future.

After piloting the deck through the event, I have begun to adjust it slightly – I have taken out the planeswalkers and Putrid Leeches, adding Great Sable Stags and my super secret tech, Vampire Nighthawk. I like Vampire Nighthawk – life gain, death touck and flying evasion in a 3 toughness package is pretty cool.

I will be updating my twitter feed with the results – now that I can do so via mobile phone text messages! Stay tuned for the updates!
