I see your dilemma

Wow that is kinda awkward. What colors did you end up in?

So I'm guessing you went Golgari/Simic style play then?

Picked Orzhov, got Azorius. Pulled a {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} and a {Debt to the Deathless}, among other things. I extorted, detained, and lifelinked my way to 2nd place. Blood Baron wrecks face.

Got Teysa and a foil Emmara in one of my prize packs, which was pretty cool.

The LGS herd by Noah's parents house is small time. 16 of us showed up. I was added in after 3 out of 4 rounds. Somehow got the bye in round three, went 2-0 in round 4. I built a nice WRU deck, wish I'd played the first two rounds, the deck was strong aggro.

Notable pulls include 2 {Blood Baron of Vizkopa},  {Master of Cruelties},  {Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts}, one other mythic I can't remember currently, plus two shock lands  {Breeding Pool} and  {Temple Garden}. :) also got the promo  {Maze's End} and Plains.

I made my deck top heavy and only two colors to take advantage of the fact that people were encouraged to build three color decks. So I would have a more stable land base and a faster creature base. I won three rounds before my opponents established a threatening board

Debt to the Debtless isn't that good IMO

you would have to pay like 8 in order to get your mana's worth on the effect

Although Orzhov is a bleeder deck, so this is strictly an Orzhov build card. They prepare for the long game, so this is only good as a win condition I think

Even then it isn't all that efficient.

I have my prerelease at twelve today. I think I'm going gruul and hoping for a Boros or golgari ally. Any tips or pointers?

top heavy deck and two colors. The three color meta means your opponents would have a more unreliable mana base than you and you should take advantage if it

I even screwed up a couple of times during my games and still won because I did this

My deck from yesterday punished the top heavy decks by beating their face with an insanely fast deck with a manabase that was very good (calculated mathematically)
