UGb (murders draft arena) (Limited)

i started with proft's eidetic memory from a kind of weak pack, and rolled into UG with a hard-hitting question and an evidence examiner. i got the coerced to kill mid p1, along with a case of the trampled garden. p2 i opened and took izoni, and then sort of settled into this midrange deck.

as an aside - i know white is the best color and boros is the best pair. but boy, being in white means you are fighting for it. i have never been passed a novice inspector in my whole life. so i don't mind starting in a different direction at all. this deck had a good curve, which meant that i didn't get run over by the three white decks i played this draft. but it also had a bunch of late-game power - izoni, the combine chrysalis, the 2 case of the trampled garden, and proft's eidetic memory (which i admittedly never drew) all gave my deck something to play to in a long game, and those rewarded me in my 3-0.

i played against UW, UW again, and GW. all white aggro decks! the first was a bit slow, and so i just curved out and made plays and won without much fanfare. the other two were a bit stronger, with lots of assertive creatures. i had some wins vs both where they kept land light hands, and my deck ended up being the aggressor. i also had wins where i "did the thing" and didn't let them get ahead, allowing me to leverage izoni and/or combine.

best game was actually a loss vs that GW deck. they were v fast and hit me hard and early, but i eventually started turning clues into 4/4 fliers and clogging the ground with a giant 7/7 crowd-control warden...but i was at 2 and lost to a topdecked escape tunnel. this was brutal! but i came back with a trampled garden win g2 and a win g3 in which i got a 3-for-1 with crowd-control warden flipping up in combat and needing 2 tricks just to trade!

i have found a lot of fun with UG in this format. this was a cool 3-0.
