Last month of Morningtide Sealed, part 1.

Well, we’re off to a good start for our last month of Morningtide sealed. We had a pretty good turn out on Tuesday (9 people => Me, Sco0p_Phase, The Captain, Jake, Ed, Mark, Bill, Kirsten, & Cameron). The mood was definitely good and I think I can conclude good times were had by all (6-0 in games, 3-0 in matches). For the third time in recent memory I open good black-green elves/treefolks. I think I can summarize why my deck wins as follows:

1. Epic Proportions on random guy can just win games (four times on Tuesday).

2. Removal is good.

3. Death touch is amazing.

4. Kinship is broken when Gilt-Leaf Seer is out.

Enough about why my deck wins games and on to the deck list. Here is what I played:

Black Poplar Shaman (less than optimal)
Elvish Eulogist
Gilt-Leaf Seer
Kithkin Daggerdare
Leaf-Crowned Elder (potentially game breaking)
Lys Alana Bowmaster
Moonglove Changeling
Moonglove Winnower
Nath’s Elite
Scarred Vinebreeder (sub-optimal)
Warren Pilferers
Weed-Pruner Poplar
Winnower Patrol
Wolf-Skull Shaman (amazing!!)
Woodland Changeling
Wren’s Run Vanquisher

Crib Swap
Epic Proportions (see above)
Gilt-Leaf Ambush
Hunting Triad (almost always Reinforced)
Pack’s Disdain
Violet Pall
Weed Strangle
Springleaf Drum
Shimmering Grotto

As far as the rest of the pool, other than Mulldrifter & Fodder Launch, there isn’t much else I am saddened to not be playing. Well, you can just judge for yourself.

After looking over the rest of the pool, I am just now realizing that I am playing all but one of the green cards in the pool. What is even more amazing is that Springcleaning is a valid sideboard option against many white decks.

Looking at next weeks pack, Morningtide, I am pleased to see even more good green picks. I’ve place an * next to the cards to consider for inclusion for next week. As always feel free to post your ideas as far as what I should include. Here is the pack for reference:

*Winnower Patrol
Seething Pathblazer
Final-Sting Faerie
Latchkey Faerie
Lunk Errant
*Earthbrawn
Negate
*Bosk Banneret
Prickly Boggart
Stingmoggie
Festercreep
*Diviner’s Wand (2nd best equipment in the set)
Pyroclast Consul
Heritage Druid
Titan’s Revenge
