Poll Results!

With the Limited PTQ season just around the corner along with the new MTGO PTQ's that are on their way qualifier tournaments are a hot topic on the web. This poll asked all you out there what kind of PTQ format would you like to see if you could pick from any existing MTG format available. The voting was completely inconclusive: EDH, Pauper, Standard, and Booster Draft all ended up in a tie for the top spot. I think if I had my choice I would go for an EDH format PTQ. It's extremely fun to play and the multiplayer aspect would be hilarious to try and organize. Honestly, it would almost be as much fun to see how they would set up the eliminations as actually playing in the event. I would play the Sharuum deck that I am currently putting together for some casual play in between classes on campus. Decklist is on the way! On a side note: I will begin back with the weekly posts next week so stay with me!

New Poll: If you could choose the format for your next PTQ what would it be?

This post is mostly for those who either subscribe to my blog through a reader or who click over from twitter. I have posted a new poll on the site asking you guys what format you would like to play in your next PTQ if you could choose from any of the most popular formats. I think it would be awesome to play in a pauper ptq or bust out my Esper EDH deck for some last-man-standing fun!

Poll Results!!

I decided to wait to post the poll results until after some big tournmanet decklists had been posted so we could compare what we thought would happen and what actually happened. Yeah, thats it.. It wasnt because I was procrastinating or anything.. Right..

The majority of people that voted on the poll thought that the cards from M10 would be the most help to White Weenie (kithkin) and they happened to be right. WW and Elves were the two decklists that really got cards that made them amazingly stronger. Honor of the Pure is giving kithkin an amazing boost putting them into one of the top deck spots post M10. Elvish Archdruid has created a monster and its name is "Elfball".. It makes the deck a turn faster which makes for some insane sub-4th turn plays that are hard to stop/match if you arent completely prepared.

One person thought Blightning would get some help but I'm not sure from where and another thought tokens would be getting a boost. I can kinda see this but it's not anywhere close to the help that kithkin got with the M10 release.

Overall the results were:

White Weenie- 4 Votes

Blightning- 1 Vote

Tokens- 1 Vote

Other (Elf Combo??)- 1 Vote

More (real) votes than last time! :P Lets keep it up!

Card Poll Results: Uril Takes The Cake!

Yehaw! Im finally talking about the poll that has been at the top of my site for the past month or so (at least).

Results (Entries with no votes were excluded):

Dragon Broodmother: 1

Sen Triplets: 1

Thraximundar: 1

Uril, the Miststalker: 4

Jenara, Asura of War: 1

Uril is a pretty funny card if you can get it out and going. Cards like Spellbreaker Behemoth help to ensure that when he its the field, he sticks. A good enchantment pairing would be Shield of the Oversoul which makes this opponent-shroud beast a 9/9 indestructable flyer. It's a think of beauty. Though I haven't seen him in very much constructed play he is extremely good if you can get him going in a naya deck at a limited event. The funny thing about this poll is that most of the cards on it are seeing very limited play time in constructed decklists. I still like Jenara in a bant aggro deck but very few lists are actually running her. Al of these cards have potential, if they didnt they wouldnt be mythic rares! Maybe with the changes to the meta after introducing the new core set these cards will see some more constructed play.
