[ross miles]

early thoughts? good decks, bad decks? seems to me that all the colours have something going for them.

Got to keep it simple with Ross, he's only a teacher, remember?

:P

Simply using a frame of reference that Ross will understandy Charlie, UW flyers being the best alara block limited deck (in my opinion). This helps Ross understand.

Except that its game plan is so very different :P

[Charlie Grover]

But what if ross thinks outside the box and starts trying to make flying creatures in his B/x deck? Then he just fails..

And yes, RB feels like the best deck. I prefer the controlly version not the aggro one using SSE and trading guys to grind out the game. UG tempo beats feels super solid too.

I am still mourning the lack of trumpet blast. :-(

Murasa Pyromancer is red in your G/B deck?

[Glenn Goldsworthy]
