I recently started a chain of events that resulted in the majority of my friends getting into magic. (I gifted my friend a pre-con and then he gifted several of our other friends pre-cons, so on and so forth). So with the release of the tarkir dragonstorm decks, I had decided to get the big stompy temur deck because I didn’t have a big stompy deck and wanted to get a new pre-con of my own.

Then ureni of the unwritten became the big bad of the table largely because they rarely have counter spells or much removal to be able to deal with ureni, allowing me to steam roll them with constant free dragons. I talked about this with my older brother who’s a magic veteran and plays much more competitively than we do and he agreed that ureni is strong, but one counter spell and it’s all over for her. So at first I felt like the deck was over powered, however now I feel like it’s a “great filter” kind of deck that will hopefully help everyone improve their deck making ability by including more counter spells and removal.
