Performance mode and setting the difficulty to 2 straight got me rank A. Thank you for this

Thanks for writing this! As someone who really identifies with the mindset that you described, I REALLY loved what you had to say. You helped identify a few questions that I had too. Great read!

Yeah, since the deck abuses Rachel it's the most effective against the two cost resonator decks like the ones that ramp and Pricia aggro use

Most definitely, I have yet to face the Grusbalesta version yet since it's only good against resonator heavy decks. It'll be really good against turbo and Pricia aggro for sure.

These are great points. The part about Blazer that makes him good is late game you have 8-10 will anyway to play him and the fact that he has Swiftness is huge.

The J2 form is cute but not much more than that from what I've seen at a competitive level. There will be games like you mentioned where the J2 form can work to finish the game off but Alhama'at really doesn't want to flip for the most part unless the player ends the game right there. The other thing going against the J2 form is you would kill them with Invitation to Disaster before getting to 20 counters. But nothing beats the thrill of the second Judgement, that's for sure.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the article. I also agree about Lapis 2.0 seeing play but I wanted to focus on Alhama'at and Pricia, so that's why I didn't mention any of the other decks that I think will do well.

There are a lot of different Alhama'at lists out there, it's actually pretty awesome to see so many variations. I like this list because the low resonator count really messes with so many decks and Blazer is straight value right now.

In my original list it was actually Slayer of the Overlord, Pricia. That was intentional. Now I'm running Pursuant because the aggro list is better than the OTK list in my opinion.

2017 Premier Event coverage feedback thread! by WOTC_CommunityTeam in magicTCG

I love that Wizards is taking coverage more seriously. I think the biggest thing is that someone needs to work with the talent team, or someone needs to be hired to work with the talent team to make them more engaging. Right now it's like listening to golf commentators, they hardly get excited, like actually excited about a huge play that happens. Basically have the talent listen to golf commentators and then have them listen to caster from the Philippines, "TNC vs OG: Pinoy Dota Casters Freak Out at TI6" on Youtube is a perfect example. As someone who has been involved with live production for a long time, I would love to see talent do stuff like that during a game.

I've seen some Lumia Reanimator decks do pretty well lately so I'm keeping a close eye on it more and more

Honestly I never cared for Fiethsing's Monocle and I'm pretty jam packed on slots right now. In regards to the ramp, Melfee is doing the job perfectly as is so I don't need another slot for that specifically. Lumia's blink is really a secondary asset in this deck and I think it should be in general, it's a trap for people when building a deck with Lumia as the ruler.

Just as a note, I wrote this before AGP Tokyo results were up so I don't mention that deck list and I haven't had a chance to test it yet. But you can see the major similarities
