[darkarts981]

I'm down for a game anytime! Standard if you don't mind...oh, Tier 1 or not?

Rolled a 9

[Ieatfood7]

Well I'm brewing a deck to try to be their one on a budget, so bring your tier one or one-minus. Expect to dominate me. . Your up

You won the roll right?

Oh sorry. I misread your roll.

19/4

[Ieatfood7]

Nice start. .

Draw. Swamp. {gift of orzhov a}. Trigger heroic. Swing for 3 lifelink in the air. Pass.

23/4

[darkarts981]

Draw

Play {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}, tap my lands to activate it to float 5 {G}, then tap the Caryatid for a {R}, go down to two green floating for a {Xenagos, the Reveler} and then use the last two to play a {Voyaging Satyr}. +1 on Xeno to make 4 Green and play a Scooze leaving two floating.

Attack with the Emissaries for 4.

Pass
16/1 - Xenagos at 4, Devotion to {G} is 8

[Ieatfood7]

I take the four.

Wow!  Is that pretty much a standard draw for you, or your perfect opening?

Draw. Frown. Slap another gift of orzhov a on the hoplites (double flying, double lifelink, neither works. What a waste). Attack for five lifelink in the air.

Pass. 28/4

[darkarts981]

Take from the Hoplite and go to 11

Draw

Play mountain, tap it and the forest to activate Nykthos for 8 {G}, use the Voyaging Satyr to untap it and use two from the 8 to activate Nykthos again and go to 14 {G} floating. Play and monstrous {Arbor Colossus} and target the Hoplite. 0 on Xenagos to make a token. Use one of the green from Nykthos to exile the Hoplite and gain one then attack with the Emissaries, the Scooze and the Satyr from Xeno for 9. Also you took four from the Emissaries, so you would be at 24 at the end of your turn right?

Pass
12/0 - Xenagos at 4, Devotion to {G} at 11


And in answer to your question this is how it usually plays, generally there isn't two Emissaries and if there's not a Xeno there's probably a Domri or a Garruk.

[darkarts981]
