My first Magic Online Event Experience



This is the basic deck that I used for my first experience and every time I finished a game I would trade in a the 2 Tattermunge Witches for the Sootstoke Kindler(this is a really great card and won a game for me) and the Manamorphose. Also Wort the Raidmother was not as good as Thornwatch Scarecrow(Wither is really a good ability to fend off opponents creatures), Cinderbones though it has Wither is actually a defensive card and didn't help me win battles so I took it out for Torpor Dust(this helped me win a game). The Crabapple Cohort was at for the first 4 matches until I thought it would help and help it did. It's a solid critter that can save you in a hard place. I also played the Morselhoarder but I usually had trouble getting 6 lands out(it would be at 5 for an extended amount of time) but it is a solid card which provides more mana.

As for the MVP I would have to say it's the Boggart Ram-Gang with Runes Of Deus on it. Double Strike with Trample!

For my first Event I did 2-3 and got 2 booster packs so it was a nice experience. ^^

Pretty nice showing for your first experience, congrats! An interesting pool. I think you were right to splash, but i think blue would have served you better over black. Corrupt isn't too huge with 4 swamps in your deck, and rite and cinderbones should be a bit more powerful if you are going to bother diluting your manabase. You were probably avoiding a double mana splash but morselhoarder, manaphose, and such could have helped there. The swans are an amazing bomb. Chains is far better than corrupt in most cases. Puca's mischief can even be quite saucy.

What cards do you felt worked for you and which do you felt didn't?

Also 17 lands should be a serious minimum in sealed. There was a time when you could get away with 16 reliably if you had enough myrs, but 17 would have improved your performance substantially I'll wager.
