FNM I won the evening through no doing of my own.
vs. Grand Arbiter stax, Gix and Hearthhull. But the Grand Arbiter deck is piloted by someone who seems to simply derive pleasure from resolving stax pieces then having no real concept of what to do with them.

The 2 hour game after with 6 Trinispheres and Stasis was far more entertaining.

I've been liking this deck a lot, (just cut Trinket Mage in the pic for Decaying Time Loop to make it truly creatureless)

but I already feel tempted to finagle together Tekuthal counter-removal tribal (turning Dark Depths into an artifact, making an army of Chronozoas by sucking up their vanishing counters etc) and beyond that Giada & Errant flash-control.

There's too many decks I want to build.

Threw together Melek "big mana" control. It's enjoyable, though randoms don't seem to appreciate the strategy once it's in full swing. Two games in a row now I've gotten to steal someone else's high-power creature and then Chandra's Ignition it.

Didn't win that second game but damn it felt good.
