Two days away from my first standard tourney in years... This Thursday at Titan Hobby Shop owned by JT Porter(one of the top guys in the Philippines). This should be interesting...
On a different note, I'd also like to add a few things i noticed about my UB control deck while playtesting:
On playing Jace the Mindsculptor; Once he hits the board, if your opponents are UW control, RDW, Quest WW, and Elves(with no Vengevines in the graveyard), play the fateseal ability first. It is the optimal play most of the time due to Lightningbolts, Creeping Tar Pits, and plain and simple beatdown. This is definitely not a rule set in stone. Magic is such a High-Variance game that the best play is not something you can memorize. One thing about poker that i'm starting to apply in my magic game is putting players on hands(or thinking of what they might have based on statistical probabilities), and acting accordingly. the problem with most players i see in FNMs is that they play on just one side of the table. they think of what they have and what to do next, without regard for the opponents board. this is a fatal mistake. not only do you have to adjust to your opponent, but you have to think of the best play at that point in time.
one thing i will do from here on: observe my opponent! memorize my hand, put it down, and get as much info as i can from my opponent. proper strategy, reading opponents, and making the correct play is key to magic success!
I will discuss this theory of mine in future blogs cause i still need time to test it first.=)
