Hit me up.  I'll play you with tron.  I would offer other options, but I don't know how to play anything but storm and affinity.  :P

Which are matchups that he needs to test against

[Mattao19]

But they aren't really tier one.  You do need an out against them, but they aren't the problem

Kai and Finkel both played storm at PT BNG ... That makes storm Tier 1 also Affinity took 2nd at Richmond and Tron is still a beast!

Finally!  Someone who gets it!  ;)

yes, people play them.  Most people don't though.  When they do win, it's mostly because they sneaked in due to no one preparing their side.

Bottom line, they are a force to be reckoned with, but you should focus on things like pod and splinter.

Agreed! Focus on MURICA cintrol!

Pretty sure affinity is still T1 and the best Aggro deck in the format

So true! It's so tough to beat like Turn 2 Cranial playing equip to ornithopter swing 7 lol

Pay attention to what your opponent does. If they leave mana open assume it's intentional and go through rverything they could do with that mana that could screw you. Play around them, but don't be afraid to take a chance. Everyone bluffs. Pretend your playing poker lol

These are good tips, but more about playing the actual game, which (I like to think :P ) I'm pretty good at. What I was looking for more are things to remember about playing at a higher level of rules enforcement, like, for example, have the art on my sleeves all face the same way so they aren't marked cards.


Also, can someone explain to me how side events work? Especially this Super Sunday Series thing? I looked it up online but still don't completely understand.

Remembering all my triggers might be hard when playing ETBtriggers.dec (Aka RW Norin...)

Thanks for the information and +1 :)

If your in doubt about ANYTHING that has happend then call a judge over.

I reccomend keeping all your stuff in sight and no less than 3 ft away from yoh at all times at GPs. People do try to steal stuff.

Also keep an eye out for sweet deals by vendors. Sometimes you just come across a foil {Karn Liberated} with a $40 price tag!

Why sideloading?

[Remillo]

Why sideloading?

Cards are more secure.  Less chance of them falling out.

Anyways, my advice is to just take a deck you enjoy playing and are familiar with.  Even if you go 0-3 Drop, you wanna have fun doing it!  Chance are you'll find people in a similar situation willing to trade and play EDH.  Have fun, meet new people!  It's a GP!

[Ekann1]

I do, but you can't really choose the matchup to test against.

Ill be on later tn of you want me to just net deck top tier decks and play you :P

Sounds good :)

They estimate as many as 10 percent of people at GPS are there to steal. Trade from sideloading binders and keep your cards in front of you.

Well, guess I need a new binder. Fun.
