Wow its been a while since I posted anything but I finally have something worth talking about so I figured I'd share. There's not much to say except that the star of the deck was Madcap skills.Very few decks are running any kind of early removal and in some cases I was able to get 10-14 damage in the first 3 turns.
- Round 1 Lars running Simic Prophet of Kruphix 2-1 My deck was incredibly fast by the time he could get Polukranos, World Eater out I had firefist striker out and had done critical damage though game two he ultimated and easily wiped my whole board. My only side in was a flames of the firebrand and chandra, pyromaster. Looking back on it I think I almost like chandra over the fanatic since I'm running babies.
- Round 2 Kolby running U/W control. 2-1 Again he took 14 damage but turn 3 game one. I'm not sure what the decklist should be but even after mulls he had trouble seeing lands and often those were guildgate as he runs 4. against midrange he would have been fine.
- Round 3 Tyler running B/W mid range. 2-0 It stings when you get a cackler into a burning tree into magma jet taking out your only blocker. Game two could have gotten tough but he walked a desecration demon into a cackler and a mizzium mortars.
- Round 4 Kris running B/W mid range. 2-0 Not even close pretty much a replay of the 3 round. It's worth noting I mulled to 6 about 50% of the time to get my two lands. A one land hand is unkeepable for this deck by a long shot. Also though I feel madcap skills is an all-star I would not run 4. I remember brian kibbler I believe running a similar deck and losing a top deck war to a late game madcap skills and no creatures. Lastly Magma jet scrying made a big impact in all my games keeping my momentum stable through to the end. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep running this but I recommend taking note of how many people are playing mid-range and to consider this deck over devotion or weenies.
