I chose to play RW Rifter, falling just short of the top 8 due to having my deck fail me vs Malice and Mirriz in the final rounds.  Props to my fellow Magic-League administrators and the TO crew for making this master smooth and problem-free.  Our next master is Standard format on March 25th at 8am EST.

Thanks for putting it on, you guys are awesome.

But seriously, that top 8 (and the meta there) is so freaking wacky. I'm glad Life won, that has always been a favorite of mine - and the WW list is also nice, I have something with a few similarities in the works .

I'm also glad at least one Thresh deck made it past the swiss, I wasn't sure if it would happen.

Again, thanks for putting this on



P.S.  So when's the next 1.5 Master?
