Blaze is in 10th :)

I also love this set. In sealed I think as long as you get 4 pieces of removal you are going to have a fun tournament, i.e. games you feel like you have a say in the results.

Nice opening.... though mountain, chrome mox imprinting a red card, shrapnel blast blast your slogger would have sucked in their first turn to reply.... even if you still effectively still have three "lands" in play...

yeah he did consider that possibility, but decided it was worth the risk. especially since most builds only pack 2 or 3 shrapnel blast. as it turned out, he didn't have it

2 to 3 blasts... even more reason to play it his way... ( + it is better to be bold and put down a hell of clock, than not too in that situation.... I would have thought )

i think how weird it was was its strength too. like, kris only beat you in the finals because he actually knew what was going on; you'd beaten the same deck twice simply because it's so hard to play against when you don't know what cards matter
