Last weekend was Grand Prix Manila 2012, held at the SMX at Mall of Asia. I don’t really consider myself a “regular” Magic player anymore so I’m not going to give a full tournament report, though I will record some details for posterity.
Let’s start with the deck. I played some version of Naya Pod, limited by what cards were available as usual:
A Pile of Naya Creatures 4 Birds of Paradise 3 Avacyn Pilgrim 1 Ulvenwald Tracker 4 Strangeleroot Geist 2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 1 Daybreak Ranger 2 Borderland Ranger 2 Blade Splicer 2 Fiend Hunter 2 Wolfir Avenger 1 Phyrexian Metamorph 2 Hero of Bladehold 2 Huntmaster of the Fells 3 Restoration Angel 1 Oxida Scrapmelter 1 Acidic Slime Spells 2 Birthing Pod 1 Bonfire of the Damned Lands 4 Copperline Gorge 4 Razorverge Thicket 3 Sunpetal Grove 2 Rootbound Crag 2 Gavony Township 1 Slayer Stronghold 2 Cavern of Souls 4 Forest 1 Mountain 1 Plains Sideboard 1 Ancient Grudge 2 Ray of Revelation 1 Zealous Conscripts 2 Garruk Relentless 2 Celestial Purge 3 Thunderbolt 2 Arc Trail 1 Surgical Extraction 1 Oblivion Ring It’s a pretty straightforward deck, what with the turning guys sideways and all.

Went 3-1 at the midnight #MTGAVR prerelease. Hooray
People at the #MTGAVR prerelease kept talking about the helvault. The fools, that card isn’t even in this set!

Seriously, I have no idea what I’m doing. The first pack I opened had 3 mythics~ Holy crap that Taiga looks nice
I had to cut a titan from my deck. This feels so ridiculous lol
Felt great keeping a one-lander, turn one Ancestral Visions, then going on to win the game
I’m glad I only have to fight annoying deck with top once per #mtgocube
Okay, so I decided to try out the MTGO cube https://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/234/739/fa5.jpg
