Haha, Oh Wow!

So, Magic night this weekend was pretty cool. I got in some play the night before the first aid meet. Just played with some Merfolk and BGr Madness, then. But, Saturday night, we got, what, 7 people together? Everyone but Bijan. Also, I built two decks. The first one was rebulding an old idea that I had great success with, and only took it apart because it became too much of a target. Well, I also only had 1 Wrath of God then. And no Ghostly Prisons. You'll see what I mean.

21 x Plains

2 x Sundering Titan
4 x Sacred Mesa
1 x Debtors Knell

4 x Ghostly Prison
4 x Wrath of God
2 x Solar Tide
4 x Swords to Plowshares
2 x Condemn
1 x Seal of Cleansing
2 x Enlightened Tutor
4 x Oblivion Ring
3 x Loxodon Warhammer
3 x Bonesplitter
1 x Glorious Anthem
2 x Extraplanar Lens

Mhmm. Mono white control. Mono white Mesa! I love Sacred Mesa. It's just so versatile, it's hard to describe without cussin'. But it's nothing revolutionary for me. It's control, and it has mass removal, an it uses Swords to Plowshares and Ghostly Prison, and it kills with what Fidel has christened Sacred Gaysa. Nothing new.

But midrange? That's fairly revolutionary for me. I dream of it, but I never really built it 'til now. And let me tell you, that final product was, as always, nothing like how it started it out. This thing originally had white... 3 guesses as to what removal lured me into that.

Anyways, without further ado, something that I don't normally do. It has more creatures than removal... makes me itchy when I think about it.

3 x Tranquil Thicket
3 x Barren Moor
4 x Swamp
10 x Forest

3 x Scryb Ranger
4 x Eternal Witness
3 x Briarhorn
2 x Masked Admirers
2 x Juggernaut
4 x Shriekmaw
3 x Spectral Force
3 x Nacatl War-Pride
2 x Triskelion
1 x Tombstalker

2 x Terror
3 x Syphon Mind
3 x Cream of the Crop
2 x Footbottom Feast
3 x Loxodon Warhammer

Bam. Black Green midrange. For. The. Win. Cream of the Crop is awesome, and Feast rebuilds after Wrath. Everything else is efficient at what it does. Things I've found out I really like: leaving mana open on turn 4 with Briarhorn, then flashing it in and pumping itself. A neat little trick. Triskelion with a Warhammer also wards of about every attack on the ground. War-Pride is my Wrath of God for this deck, and every card that does beat provides CA. Good times.

On more important news, I got comments! And I just found this out, too. For silly reasons. I was taking paragraphs from my blog, then translating them from English to French to German to French to English in a crappy online translator (read: Altavista's Babelfish) and then laughing. Scrolling, when a number catches my eye. 1! 1 Comment! Freakin' sweet! And it's on multiple posts! That's freakin' awesome! Apparently someone followed my sig from the forums. Neat. :D

In short, THANK YOU. The comments make me actually pay attention to this. I now feel that I should have a daily effort payed! Sweet.

Time to post without proofreading or spell checking.
