Did you ever have a turn 1 where your only 1 drop was a berserker? I could see it being a 2 zurgo /1 berserker split.

How were the two dragon fodders?

What was your SB strategies for the matchups? Looks like you don't even need to SB for jeskai (assuming you had what I posted)

Nice job on the finish
I played zurgo as a 1drop once but never had a lightningBerz when I didn't have a swiftie I wanted to play. So I never played one turn1.

I played 4 dragonfodders because I was down 2 cards since i had only 1 rabblemaster. It was my turn2 play basically every game I had one. But against the one arashin cleric I saw in round5 obviously I didn't really attack with them until I had a good command turn.

against jeskai, I know they bring in clerics and anger, and board out rabbles and a few jaces. They try desperately to gain life off of soulfire and OJcommand (returning soulfire or clerics) until you're out of gas or they resolve elspeth. I brought in arcs and outpostsieges. Took out rabble zurgo and shaved 2 copies of exquisite. Even though it cant be countered any time they could counter it, I value the instant speed more.
That's the only matchup I actually knew what to bring in.

Uh yeah 4 abbot is way correct I don't understand the argument for less than 4. 4 blood was great and was never punished for it. I never went to combat with my 1of rabble and the times I keep rabble postboard are the times I like my turn3 commands to get my damage in because I have lethal burn in hand. Lightning B was never useful.

Went 4-1 in mtgo PPTQ with what I could cobble together with my collection and 20tix. 0 confluence, 1 rabble. My destructive revelrys were smashtosmithereens instead. Otherwise it was purp's list a few posts up.

I wrote a writeup but it's basically just "I'm bad and lost round1 to rw tokens with dictate of heliod because it was literally my first time with the deck and I don't know how to mulligan a 1lander" or that I didn't believe dpaine on how easy vs. jeskai mid was... but I went 2-0 2-0 in rounds 4 and 5 against the deck. There were some close calls and some lucky topdecks but I got there.

0-2 vs rw tokens. got thrashed
2-0 vs mono red. Thrashed him.
2-1 vs mono green devotion. Thrashed him.
2-0 vs jeskai mid. thrashed him
2-0 vs jeskai mid. thrashed him

I guess I qualified for some tournament or something but I'm playing in one of scg's 5ks this weekend so I won't play that event even though its free.
