While I was looking for packages for gifts I got a peak at the sun titan package. With some playtesting in standard with Solar Flare I already know how good Unburial Rites into Sun titan is, running it also makes Forbidden Alchemy extremely good, and since you already run ways to drop spells into the graveyard Snapcaster Mage gets insanely good. Regarding the Wurmcoil, at first it was Grave Titan because it left something behind if he got it by Path into Exile but the fact that wurmcoil can be recurred by Academy Ruins.
The question is if the deck is able to keep up with the speed of Modern, I sure think and hope it does or I will be in trouble this weekend :) .

A new post omg :D and with a bug list o_O

Well lately , or rather for a long time, I didn't and I don't fell like writing for this blog.
Miranda, mostly gave up and with the starcitygames tournaments there's so little space to improve decks in standard that I had no reason to post anything. I have never been a fan of legacy and I don't even have much time or people to test.
So, and to have something going on this blog, I will post the lists I'm currently playing or testing.
So here his a BUG I'm having fun with in standard:

Ramp (12)
4 Rampant Growth
4 Viridian Emissary
4 Solem Simulacrum
Big guys (12)
4 Consecrated Sphinx
4 Wurmcoil
4 Grave Titan
Utility (10)

4 Ponder
4 Black Sun Zenith
2 Unburial Rites
Lands (26)
4 UG land
4 GB land
4 UB Land
6 Forest
5 Swamp
2 Island

1 Plains

 It's a pretty standard list that tries to ramp into 4th or 5th turn fatties.
It could run heartless summoning as a ramp tool but I ditched it since it made all my fatties vulnerable to dismember.
In my very limited testing it has been running well, and better than I expected against mono red thanks to wurmcoil and grave titan.

WB in a brand new field

It’s been a long time since I posted or have done something on the blog.

Between the improvements I wanted to add to the blog but never finished and a report from nationals that I never started, it got put on hold.

Anyway, the improvements will somehow find a way to get in but the report from nationals would be pretty much useless now.

Well, it was like I took a vacation from my blog.

Since my last post two editions were released, M11 and Scars of Mirrodin, and there was a rotation when Scars got released, which brought big changes to the metagame and a bunch of new decks. While this is a big step down for netdeckers it’s a new playground for people who like to explore the tools they have been given.

O Vingador está de volta!

Boas
Ultimamente tenho andado um pouco afastado de magic, mas tenho de tentar manter o blog “activo”.
Agora que o standard começa a ganhar a sua forma final, começamos a ver os novos decks em acção. UW tappout afirmou-se como tier1 perfeitamente capaz de bater jund.

Report : Next Level Ajani - Whooot?

Hello!

So I am here to talk about a new deck I have been brewing with some friends. We call it Next Level Ajani, so the list:

Deck Tech: Developing MeekWalker for Extended

Hi there.

For those that don't know me my name is Rui Gomes, you can call me Gomes since it’s easier to spell.

As Miranda did, I also went to PTQ San Juan at Oporto. I did 4 – 2 – 1 winning against 2 Dark Depths, 1 Vampires and a Zoo deck; lost against a zoo deck and a Dark Depths and got a drawn with a Bant Deck. I did better than I though despite doing some mistakes, my bad draws (I suck at top decking) and since we made the deck at 2 am on the tourney day.

Deck Tech: Mirandoran

Hi everyone.

Last Saturday, me and some friends attended the PTQ San Juan at Oporto. Personally I sticked to the best-deck-in-format, Thepts. However, this post is not about what I playes, but about the deck that 2 friends of mine piloted to top4 and top12.
