Went 4-2 at a release day/GP Qualifier/TGCPlayer Gold sealed event; sadly that wasn't good enough to crack the Top 8 (though 1 or 2 4-2s with better tiebreaks did) and draft for the actual prizes.

it may be the mythic uncommon of the set

jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow
Magma Jet has been incredibly hard for us to find as well, we've seen more Heliod's than Magma jets. (but shea shouldnt you have like 1000 of the original ones you old school)

I'd probably SB the Assembles for another Helix and Stormbreath dragon/Swallower, tbh. It can be really dead and bad against aggro (which you arent immune to despite all the removal and reckoners believe me), and it seems like a card you don't want to show g1 so they don't know whether to prepare for it or not g2.
Also your SB has Burning earths right? Thats still a card, and i think its one of the better ways to beat that RBW midrange deck I saw some tryhards using as the "go-to new Jund"
And its not bad to have a free win against anyone forcing 3-colors/Maze's End

Fate, I do. But, my organization leads a lot to be desired. And by that I mean it does not exist at all. I would probably have to look through random ass boxes for a couple hours to find a playset.
And I haven't thought about a SB yet. As I said in an earlier post, my sb creation process is pretty intensive and testing based. I don't just throw things in there and hope. I get it by testing the matchups and seeing which needs help.
I intentionally Drew with an GW aggro
Deck I lost to: Esper Control in Round 4
Decks I beat: GW Kalonian Aggro, UW Control, Mono Blue Aggro, BWR Midrange, GR Aggro and Esper Control
Funny thing about my win against Esper Control. I had already won Game 1 and we were in Game 2, I was down to 6 life and he had an Lifebane Zombie and Atherling on board. All I have left to block is a Elvish Mystic, He swings with both Lifebane and Atherling and Pumps Atherling to 8. Thing is that he forgot to make it Unblockable, so I blocked it with my Elvish Mystic and he just lets it die, he didn't bother making it's toughness stronger or Flickering it, he just let it die and I swung for game on the next turn.

Looks like part of the payout is enough TGCPlayer points to go to the 50K invitational in Columbus; if you haven't sold or traded those or don't plan on coming up for it I could find some people who could make use of those.
Doubtful anyone does, but would any of you have Mox Opals you're not super attached to? I sold my playset a while back when I needed a quick $200, but now I want to make Affinity in Modern/Legacy
4 Mutavault
2 volcanic island
4 ancient ziggurat
4 cavern of souls
4 city of brass
3 tarnished citadel
Still tweaking the sb, but it needs to be like 100% tuned to beat stoneblade and combo.
Why should you care? I have a mostly complete merfolk deck that I would be willing to lend out to any scummer who feels like going and trying out legacy but doesn't have the cards for it.
Fanatic of Mogis was much more impressive than I was expecting.
I never actually got to see an ashiok in play. So its hard for me to comment on its performance. The deck with them mained did the worst of all the esper decks in the top 8 though .
