Three Emrakuls in a Oath deck is pretty ballsy. What happens if you get a second activation of Oath without hitting Emmy and Dragon's Breath the first time?

why would you activate your oath of druids if you have an emrakul in play ? |

I ran so many blue spells at this event that I think the deck should just be called Mono Blue Stax.
I keed, I keed.
Awesome job on the report Nick, well worth the wait.

Jeep Stax? Where did you come up with this name? That wasn't me. I drove in a red Jeep to the event. Will Magrann owns that one. And Egan's 'Sheep Stax' was a play on that. |

I punted game 2! I should have won even after you drew something like 18 extra cards. |

I was on 2, If i remembered correctly I didnt necro at all on the last turn, which is why you thought I couldnt win since I had not seen any new cards, so you got brainstorm with the dt to make sure you did not lose to your bob. |

ANT Tendrils is a redundant deck name (Ad Nauseam Tendrils Tendrils). Enjoy taking your MAC card to the ATM machine and entering your PIN number.
Although I only went 4-3, I'm glad it was due to the bad luck of hitting underrepresented yet bad matchups (4 ANT decks, 1 BUG deck) and not the inability of my deck to exist in this metagame. C'est la vie.

I thought it was because you switched to Planeshift Meddling Mages... |

I guess that's what I get for getting the venerable Jake Taft to help me type the metagame breakdown into the computer while I read them off. |

If you don't know where the closest one is, you could always use your GPS system to find one. Also, seriously super sweet To report. The nicest one I've seen in quite a while. Very well put together. |
