I completely disagree with Kev. When did this become an emotional rather than tactical game? There is no gentleman’s agreement to use all your spells as soon as possible to try to win for fear of being perceived as slow rolling or stringing along.

That’s nonsense. Simon showed a ton of cards in those last three turns thus giving his opponent information as well. He could have shown just the into the maw and been done. As it was, he showed the maw and a bunch more.

Having him play more cards and seeing his deck = more advantage. Its a chance to abuse information. Not dick at all. Imagine if he played Olivia instead of Juggs the turn before he decided to concede. That wouldve been very helpful information.

I loved the deck but honestly after that mess that was M2G1 you deserved to lose. You had that guy dead like 3 turns before he conceded and you needllessly strung him along. Into the Maw his dude + land gets him to 8 and you have 2 dudes, a sac outlet and a 5 dmg volley in hand. Not cool man.

You can still equip the Hauberk after stealing the Mikaeus in M1G3. Choosing targets happens before you pay the cost, so you can equip the Hauberk to Mikaeus and sac Mikaeus to do so.

I’ve definitely gotten blown out by the R/B Traitorous Blood deck before. I don’t think it’s the most powerful hands down, but it’s definitely an option to keep in mind, if nothing else but to rescue a draft going south.

uggh… disappointed to see no Round 3 with this deck. i really like the idea of abusing traitorous blood and its a shame this deck couldn’t have won the draft flat out.
