Mono-Blue Sad Robots Top 4 PPTQ - Butte 4/4/2015 Players 27 record 5-1-1Honestly I'm a little tilted. I felt like a snowflake when, while in a sudafed/flu haze in Great Falls PPTQ, I came up with the idea to dial back etched champion/galvanic blast to go mono-blue aggro with spell pierce and monastery siege as a defensive spells and dial up the Master of Etherium so all my robots are potentially lethal. Blame my Blue mage teammates.

Of course I check SCG and sure enough somebody had mostly the same idea and won a Premier IQ last week so now it looks like Im just another netdecker. sad Robot. On the brightside I stuck a monastery siege turn 1 against burn. If you want a blue answer to burn. There it is. It was back breaking. I think I even apologized.

With the current list I have 3 mana on turn 1 75% of the time. Minimum 2 mana on turn 1 90% of the time. Against 1 opponent I cast thoughtcast 3 times by turn 4. My loss went to a bit of hubris and dickery. I had one answer to affinity sideboard and sideboarded out my spell pierces which lost me game 3 against 2xcranial plating turn 3 on a Vault Skirge. I think at next weeks SCG States Event I'll be running either Ancient Grudge or Hurkles recall depending on how Nate I feel like being.

Thoughtseize was really dissappointing and amulet is overkill. I'd like to work towards making the deck either entirely blue with more counter-spells, bounce effects or going blue-black with tezzeret and removal
