For the record, Ryan’s right. I’ve been exclusively playing his deck when I get a chance to play standard. Sometimes I throw Keranos in there. Also run a singleton Ghostblade Eidolon just for extra fun.

Hanging out in the chat room for the PT was incredibly fun, not to mention financially rewarding. Look forward to PT: Origins.

This goes without saying, but PT usually sets the landscape. While SCG continues on with it, there really isn’t *that* much deviation. The point of that is this; get rid of PT speculative purchases now, rather than later. *Especially* if they’re from Theros block.

Master of Waves

Descent of the Dragon/Battlefield Thaumaturge (i’ve seen people spec on these)

Narset/Sarkhan

ect, ect, ect.

As a player, I made sure I had a playset and extra copies for EDH and such fairly early on, and I’ve never regretted it. I don’t see the card doing much of anything in the short term, but it’s an irreplaceable cog in a particular kind of deck and as the years go on it will get expensive.

I suspect Oujati will keep seeing play, but it’s not because he’s super great; he and non-elder Silumgar are just the best finishers available for that kind of deck due to Hexproof and relevant abilities. They’re the current iteration of Morphling types. Luckily, since there are two of them, I don’t think there’s an obvious correct choice and the price of both should be suppressed.

Atkarka, on the other hand, has no real competition at what it does…

It was pretty disappointing to see so many duds in the Chromanticore deck at the PT. Pharika is a turd and Courser really doesn’t belong in the deck. The manabase also looked off. Deathmist Raptor and Den Protector, if they belong in the deck at all, might by sideboard cards- currently working that out. For the record, my version is still great. 😉

I don\’t think anyone ended up trying it. Shorecrasher Elemental got everyone excited for a minute when the card was spoiled but it never worked out. Rather than start a comical \”General Franco is still dead\” recurring bit, I\’m gonna stop reporting on it with that farewell!
