Casual Testing — June 19, 2014

Edit

Did a bit of casual testing with friends. Seems to work really well. Even with opponents' ideal hands, I was still able to surgically remove threats both in-hand and on the field with no trouble.

Testing Notes:

Jace gave good card advantage while making aberration bigger, and Mogis took pressure off the board.
Specters are great for whittling people down.
Dreadbore being cheaper > being instant, especially for planeswalkers since i can't stop their effect once its' on the board anyways. I'd rather counter, but D-bores are a better option if I can't.
Went down to 1 mind grind mainboard, and no Slaughter Games mainboard. Have yet to actually need them, but I suspect I will eventually so they'll stay side.
Haven't had a chance to test Illness vs. Elspeth, but worked beautifully vs. Pharika. I'll bet it's just as good.

Overall a good test run. More coming later as I acquire new ideas and suggestions.
