Last three times I have tried to play in a PE they have not fired, which would you recommend? I want to record one for CFB.

You guys are aware that you'll need to win the Prelims to get extra LED and it won't be against the usual bad's in SE or DE but proper grinders.
on other notes I dropped from 44 to 56 (not as bad as I thought for not playing in two weeks) - Jedi_Knight is the 2nd highest ranked player in clan follow by Pedros (who isn't in top150 yet).

How good is "Alex" from DtR? He'll be updated the Robot primer soon, should I wait on him or just rush out and follow Frank Karsten from CFB, Pedro Carvalho (MODO grinder with a high winrate) and Mateusz Myślicki aka xMiMx (MODO grinder with a high winrate) advice on the deck.

Alex is a very good player, but I don't know how he stacks up with respect to piloting Affinity vs. the players you mentioned above. Certainly reading what everyone has to say will help you develop a nuanced understanding of the deck.

Looks like I can make it for MOCS1 (yaaaaaay) no idea about MOCS3 since we won't get any announcements from wizard till Wednesday (Tuesday from you guys living in the past) though knowing Wizard that announcement won't come till another week...
Will they still run MOCS1 after the crap storm of MOCS3? Gonna be interesting

Those of you who have been grinding lately - would it be safe to take out my anti-hexproof cards yet?

I have faced hexproof three times in 140 matches.

yes, I'll upload it

R.Bomb hits hexproof as well (that will be my justification of running a horrible card in an aggro deck)

Przemek Knocinski aka "SzULeR" won a PTQ over the weekend with a decklist I gave him.
He wants to send me a foil Japanese Viashino Firstblade, the card that won him the tournament.

Tell him to come here instead.

Had bad streak today/yesterdawith rb devo.
2-0 split 8man
1-1 8man
1-1 8man
0-1 8 man
0-1 8 man
Know I broke even but not going forward is not what I want. Meta seems bad for rb devo now.
Looking forward to play something like Uw devo now? Michael Jacob played it and deck lookd really good, heard he had good results vs uw controll and black devo.
Can I assume uw beats burn zem?

UW is slightly favoured, but Sam Pardee says that straight Mono U is just better. The deck REALLY needs to curve out and the mana base of UW is apparently slightly too bad.

Beat BW Aggro 2-1 after mull to 5 in all three games.
Power overwhelming.

I failed hard yesterday. I did two 8 mans and Only won 1 game. Faced Hexproof in r2 of the first one and a UW control that I had to mull to 6 both games on in the 2nd 8 man. Oh wellz. Bad days happen lol. I wish I could get more games in, but often I can't start playing til 8pm after I put my daughter to bed. Its ok though, she's much cuter than any opponent I'll have in MTGO, lol.

As a UW control player there are two decks I want to face the least, personally
Anything with Obzedat
Anything with Thassa

I ended up buying the S.G - I figured I'll play Zoo in Modern in the future anyways.

A sound plan. I am going to finish my playsets of each shock fairly soon just to have them for later.

Sg stands for stomping ground?
@zem
I dont understand why Sam Pardee makes video about uw devo then...

If you watch it, he even comments on how bad it is during the videos

Our videos usually get made a week or so in advance.
