Results January 29, 2010

The peasant tournament of january was played, with a total of 17 players. Nice! Since each round went to time, we were only able to play four rounds. Despite this, only one player won all his matches, with a rogue deck, no less!

I myself played an updated MBC list. It performed admirably against the aggro decks I faced, but had no game whatsoever against the Thopter Foundry deck that took second place. That's right, we banned the artifact lands, and the Foundry still sees play! Curious? Read on!

As always, I'll only be posting those lists that won more than half of their matches. With four rounds, that means each deck with 7 points or more. But first, I'll give you the full standings.

*The name was too cute, I couldn't resist. It was a creatureless build with Psychic and Pooling Venom. I promise I'll do an article on... 'unusual' deck ideas somewhere in the next few months, and this definitely belongs there :D
