A lot of people are leaning towards playing RDW as it seems to have good pre board matchups against mythic and the miriad of ramp decks.<br />
<br />
I do not want to play a ramp deck as they are very dependant on having the right amount of ramp spells and threats. If you can deal with their few initial threats and can land a Jace the game was over - Although no one bought a 'traditional' ramp deck using time walks.<br />

<br />
I'm still going to do more testing as I'm not completely happy with any of the decks I've tested with. I've built the Wafo Tapa deck on that free site online and am enjoying it but the people on that site aren't playing competative enough decks.<br />
<br />
Planeswalker was cool to play but would still prefer to play straight U/W<br />

Can I suggest a few ground rules for this such that it is actually productive rather than just "playing aa few games"?<br />
<br />
1 - Bring real decks - i.e. ones that you actually expect to run into at Nats.<br />
<br />
2 - Use "stock lists" - make your own tweaks once you've actually played the base version against other base decks<br />
<br />
3 - Record your results - we can then put all these together later (I don't mind making a spreadsheet or something). Include for each GAME played: decks used, who was on the play,…
