Sorry Rufus, I didnt see you reply. I know its a little late, but for what its worth...not really.
Darigaaz Reincarnated was my best card, but I didnt play it because I was too scared of 3 colors. Looking back, I should had play it. I had good mana fixing.
Today, I played my first standard tournament. I went 1-2 and a bye, but I had fun. I think most people were even surprised I was playing, because I dont have many cards. Use a G/R ramp aggro deck, and lost against 2 control decks but manage to get 1 game out of one and the others were relative close.
My decknow the BEST part of the day....guess who I beat. The cheater, and surprise he wanted to cheat again too. He had almost the same deck, but he probably had all the expensive cards.
I am not sure anymore if he is trying to cheat or if he is not good. He talks with such a confident but he also does play that doesnt make a too much sense.
First I play Steel Leaf Champion on turn 4, and he tried to kill it with Shivan Fire with paying only 4 mana. Could had been a mistake, but thats a start.
Then he told me that I could not use Elfhame druid to pay 2 mana if I wanted to cast Baloth with kicker. Some people heard and he didnt argue.
Then he told me that the counter on Hallar was until the end of the turn.
Then he told me that the saga, that I cannot get one creature from the graveyard on the first 2 iterations.
What makes me think he is just bad, is that he would spend 2 of his Blossoming defense to block my Baloth with bonus with his 4/4 Verix and chomp block with 2 other creature (Hallar and something else). Instead of chomping the 7/7 and using one blossoming defense on each of the other creatures to trade or to keep his alive. I was at 20 and he was at 9 or something.
Sorry for the long post, how has your Magic year been? you playing dominaria regularly?
