#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.

#Magic Update: This week, our Magic time was up against the local team’s Sportsball game, so we only had 4 players to start. I decided to try out a brand new deck, a lightly modified version of the new Jace, Multiverse Architect preconstructed deck that I picked up from my FLGS a few days ago, and let me tell you, that deck dominated, with everyone else quitting around the 90 minute mark. I know much of it was luck (especially in the early game), but it was so much fun to play, I look forward to breaking it out again… in a few weeks. 😁

By the time the second game started, the local team had won their Sportsball game (yay, sports team!), so it was one of our usual 5-player affairs. This time, I played my old-school Defenders of the Mirth deck, and it held up long enough for all but one other player to quit, and then I killed on my next turn with a truckload of unblockable commander damage at about the 2 hour mark. That put me at a rare 2/2 overall for the day. Good times! 🤘
