Game 3: 12/9/2024 at NOLA Brewing

Silas

Rachel

Harley

I made a concerted effort to not over extend and make sure I only played chucky when it counted. I think the play was correct and cautious enough, but not enough disruption to stop Silas from going infinite.

Tbf, all of my interaction was creature killers, and I never drew a way to recur Chucky over and over again. And even then I was in a position to be threatening.

Game 2: 12/2/2024 at NOLA Brewing

Silas - Kozilek, the Great Distortion

John-Michael - Glissa Sunslayer

Patrick - Ms. Bumbleflower

I was focused pretty hard by John-Michael, rightly so as I was getting close to assembling some nasty combos. By the time John-Michael was out of answers, Silas was full of them. Patrick was playing a group hug deck that 100% helped me throughout the game, and I never got to see the corner turn.

Despite the focus, Chucky's Turbo Fog was able to keep the heat off of me and I had a healthy life total most of the game until Silas eventually took control.

I do think I need more board wipes than I was thinking. My thought was that I WANTED my opponents to have creatures...but in truth that isn't always true, I think I more want to escape damage as much as possible and be able to swing in freely. Every turn I live is another turn where I could draw into Blade of Selves or Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might

The Master, Multiplied has earned his place as a beater. He is a one card removal magnet. The concern is trying to make sure I don't over extend with him on the field and that is an art form I hope to learn soon. I played him and then played Chucky the next turn but then got board wiped, losing both threats. Tbf, Chucky isn't really a threat without the ways to make his ETB happen regularly, but still he has the drain.

Rakdos Joins Up was a card I thought about cutting multiple times but the recursion ability grabbing something like The Master or another big threat out the graveyard is really good in the deck, and the static ability after, while not exactly what I want, has a ton of synergy with the deck. It has earned its spot for now.

Game 1: 12/2/2024 at NOLA Brewing

Silas - Tatsunari, Toad Rider

Rachel - Marina Vendrell

Patrick - Teysa Karlov

Patrick ran away with a Grave Pact and Token generation, allowing no one a board presence and no one had Enchantment Removal in hand. With no way to keep a creature alive, at instant speed mind you due to a Ashnods Altar

The deck did do the thing. It definitely plays more like a control, turbo fog that slips in damage when it can. I need to lean into that feeling
