#Magic update - for the 2nd time in a row, I went 2 for 2 (this time, in a pair of 3-player games).
For game 1, I ran a re-tweaked “Jace and the Echoverse” deck (a modified version of the recent Reality Fracture precon), dominating most of the game before pulling a 1-2 punch of making my creatures indestructible and then blowing up the board (so the other 2 players both quit, including an Ur-Sphinx deck). Then, for game 2, I ran my nearly-perfected Dune deck, which pulled out to a surprising early lead before finally winning with an unblockable commander (killing 1 opponent outright and making the other quit again).
I gotta say, I’m really digging both of these decks: not only do they win more often than not, but they’re both thematic as hell and fun to play. I plan to add them to my decklists page soon.
