Subjective Testing
Deck Help forum
Posted on Jan. 20, 2014, 3:35 p.m. by raithe000
I'm getting ready to make a new deck come BNG, but I'm not sure which of the two brews (well, one is more of a netdeck) I'm working on is better/ I enjoy playing more. So, testing! Leave your deck, which deck you'd like to play against, and I'll playtest and leave a replay afterward. First come, first served.

First game vs. Jrjersey01's minotaur deck

Thanks for the Playtest, raithe000It's a shame you couldn't get to play Elspeth, the game would have been a lot different if you had been able to.

Second Game vs. InconspicuousPotato's Orzhov Weenies
Another loss Would have been more interesting if I had drawn lands, but I think I did pretty well for only 4 the entire game. Also, would have gone faster if InconspicuousPotato's deck had drawn a few less lands.

I1 draw temple of silence, play godless shrine, shock self, I 18, play boros elite, pass
R2 draw detention sphere, play hallowed fountain tapped, pass
I2 draw swamp, play temple of silence, scry daring skyjek, sticks, swing 1, life totals R 19, I 18, pass

R4 draw thoughtseize, play thoughtseize, I discards Xathrid Necromancer, R 16, pass
I4 draw plains, play swamp, swing 4, life totals R 12, I 18, pass
R5 draw heros downfall, play detention sphere Targeting daring skyjek, I responds by orzhov charming daring skyjek back to hand, pass
I5 draw temple of silence, play temple of silence, scry boros elite, sticks, play daring skyjek, swing 1, life totals R 11, I 18, pass

I8 draw imposing sovereign, swing 3, life totals R 4, I 18, play imposing sovereign, pass
R9 draw temple of silence, concede
Definitely going to be 1-ofs.

Thanks for the playtest! I actually had honestly never thought about using Orzhov Charm to bounce a creature that was about to be killed. I

Game 3 vs. Matsi883 Slivers!!!!!!!
I won by default on this one. The playtester froze after turn 11 on Matsi's side, but I had basically broken his offense and had Elspeth on the field, so I think I would have had this one.

This is when the playtester on Ms side froze up. The only thing i could do was draw, (next 6 are gruul guildgate, mountain, prophetic prism, battle sliver, forest, and boros charm, in that order) so I think R would win
