It's 6:45pm on Sunday evening, and for the first time in a week I finally have some time to just sit back and chill. Sure I've been doing things like Magic tournaments, but this is the first time that I've been able to stop, put my feet up, and just know that I don't have to be rushing out of the door for this, that, or the other. It's quite nice.
Well the Innistrad celebration event was an absolute dismal failure. I hurriedly put together a zombie token deck before leaving the house, and it proceeded to get annihilated in every single game. I can't even give a result breakdown, because the games were over so fast that I didn't even get time to tell what decks my opponents were using. The biggest annoyance was the fact that I lent my Elves to someone else to use, and he actually ended up placing 6th out of 12, whereas I came in rock bottom.
I have learned two valuable lessons though. Firstly, that swiftly made decks quite simply don't work in MTG. They need time and refinement to be able to do anything. And secondly, that my Elves have been shaped and honed into a good deck at last. I still like my vampire backup deck (and will like it even more so when Sorin Markov arrives), but Elves are definitely the way forward for me. I'm looking forward to FNM this Friday to give my vampires a test run, but next Sunday it'll definitely be Elves which get my full attention again. Saying that, I might even forego the vampires this Friday and go Elvish again. Even Rich said today that the latest version of my Elf deck is pretty kickass, so I think it's time to start unleashing it.
On the plus side today, I did get two more promos (one shiney, one full-art), and another booster pack. So it wasn't a total loss.
