Welcome to The Pitch Zone

Even though I doubt this is the direction the deck will go, I’m excited to have an Iris of Reality deck that can play Blink to double aura

I think logically I know this ban list makes Enigma and Dromai better decks in the format but I still want to play some stacking Florian with the Rootbound Carapace unban.

Played a Shield Beater list at my armory tonight and went 2-1. Beat someone on the Ira armory deck, lost to Marionette, and beat a Fai. Realized after the armory I had left my Shelters on the desk at home, so losing to Marionette to exact fatigue (only Heart of Fyendal left) feels less bad.

The new ice cards are mostly blue ice 3 blocks unfortunately. I may replace some number of Galicia’s Cradle with Mount Isen again to up the 3 blocks since there aren’t many Gravy players around me.

I really liked Taotao's list and have been playing a 6 intimate inducement list today. I'm not sure how to really make the Briar matchup better but it's looking like an interesting pick for my PQ this weekend unless I buckle and play block slop.

Anyone else out here beating their shield?
