Unnamable came over last night. He was waiting in the driveway when I got home from work, sorry about that. I got home at 6:01pm, or thereabouts.
We settled in for a game of Magic, since neither of us have any games to speak of.
He started with a Sliver deck that I thought was a preconstruct. After playing, and winning, we both agreed that it was not a preconstruct, just too many powerful cards, and a tell tale hint of earlier sets mixed in. His one sliver allowed him to choose one color they were protected from, I had a one color black deck, so that finished me.
The second round was won by me with a black/white cleric deck. I was able to sacrifice clerics and do damage to him. For a while there it was really close, I had him down to 8 life, he whittled me down to 8 as well. Then I got +8 health boost and was able to sacrifice 8 toughness worth of clerics to do him in.
And for our finale, I was able to overrun him with a mass of serpents. A lure enchantment forced all his blockers to focus on one serpent, while my +12/+12 serpent token was allowed to get through.
We sat and talked for a bit afterwards. We both agreed we would like to get some games for ourselves. Wyldwing, I hear your going to order some games, have you done so yet?
I'm planning on going to his house to play Hero Scape Friday, if work doesn't soak up all my free time Friday.
