People came prepared for affinity this time. There were two different builds, but neither manages to score better than 3-2. With only two decks scoring more, I guess they're still a contender though! I managed to beat one of them with my Bloodbraid Aggro deck, but lost to Faeries (without Counterbalance) and amylynnlee1981's Arcane Tide deck that I tweaked over on magic-ville.fr's peasant forum. Ah well, it's always flattering to lose to your own deck!
Anyway, like one very observant reader commented last time around, MBC would be very good in our aggro-oriented metagame. Guess which deck came in first? Welcome back at the top! I'm doing a T9 this time, since 9th place also got a 3-2 record. Have fun perusing the decklists!

I forgot to write a tournament report for the last tournament, didn't I? This time I didn't scribble notes, but I do have some new decklists! Allard capitalized on the unbanned artifact lands and won with a new take on affinity. I happily got in 6th with the awesome Arcane Tide deck, losing to Vise Burn and Silly Simic. Enough talking, more decklists!
