I went to my first ever PTQ today!
I went 6-2, which was good for some packs but not top 8. My second match loss was pretty frustrating; I got a loss game 3 for forgetting to return 2 delved cards to my library between games. I won when we shuffled the cards in and played the game out. That's a mistake I won't be making again.
I was surprised I did so well; my pool felt pretty weak so I played 5 colors to avoid using bad cards. The alternatives were WGB (with no bombs or lategame) or UGR (with no 2 drops whatsoever and minimal removal). The things I did have going for me were strong fixing (I played 4 triple lands and 6 lifegain lands) and Ashcloud Phoenix, which stabilized / outright won several games for me.-

So I spent a good chunk of the night playing the Tournament Practice room on MTGO. I was playing my Archangel Pod list:
4 Birds of Paradise
2 Noble Hierarch
3 Voice of Resurgence
1 Wall of Roots
1 Scavenging Ooze
1 Sin Collector
1 Spike Feeder
1 Eternal Witness
1 Orzhov Pontiff
1 Courser of Kruphix
3 Kitchen Finks
1 Restoration Angel
1 Entomber Exarch
1 Murderous Redcap
1 Linvala, Keeper of Silence
1 Reveillark
1 Shriekmaw
1 Archangel of Thune
4 Birthing Pod
2 Chord of Calling
2 Abrupt Decay
3 Thoughtseize
1 Godless Shrine
2 Temple Garden
2 Overgrown Tomb
4 Windswept Heath
2 Snow-Covered Forest
1 Snow-Covered Plains
1 Snow-Covered Swamp
2 Razorverge Thicket
4 Verdant Catacombs
3 Gavony Township
1 Woodland Cemetery
Sideboard:
1 Burrenton Forge-Tender
1 Qasali Pridemage
1 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Abrupt Decay
1 Eidolon of Rhetoric
1 Reclamation Sage
2 Lingering Souls
1 Aven Mindcensor
1 Siege Rhino
1 Thrun, the Last Troll
1 Sigarda, Host of Herons
1 Fracturing Gust
I played a total of 20 games over the night. Of those, 16 were against almost identical UR Delver lists. Treasure Cruise has done gross things to the Online meta.-

I've also been rolling a lot of library-related cards. Tap an untapped library you control. Return target library to its owner's hand. Gain control of target nonlegendary library (da fuq) until end of turn, it gains haste (+ scry 4), etc.
Yeah, this is way too much fun.

Replicate X, where X is the number of permanents on the battlefield
Madness Y, where Y is the number of spells cast this turn

I almost went to that!
Congrats on the good finish though.
Also, I um...I never thought I'd say this but um...Standard seems awesome right now.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

BURN THE HERETICSOne time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

I'm willing to accept I was wrong.
I still have ideological concerns about the format, but it's fun itself.
Also if Jeskai and Abzan continue their domination, I think 4 color is the way to go. How do you go bigger than Abzan? Run Dig Through Time and Pearl Lake Ancient with Siege Rhino.
Or Whip because all the grave hate fucking sucks right now unless you're running constellation.Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

Well, that's good, actually, because I've been thinking about getting back in, now that I've got a job that pays me actual money and doesn't time-conflict with FNMs.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies.

The finals everyone expected from new Standard at GPLA: Mono-red versus GR Monsters.Showjdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow
----
very much a liberal now
Hascow/Cow are acceptable shortened names, never "Has"-
