Thanks for reading the report for the Black Magic Invitational. We had 62 in attendance for the event. Prizing went to top16 since we crossed the 53 players threshold of the last event.

Here in order of seeding at the end of swiss are the decklists:

Want to thank everyone for coming out even though i couldn't be there to start the day and make sure it ran smoothly and for that i am sincerely sorry. I want to make it up to you all in future events. More clear and precise cuts and prizing and the goofy stuffs as well. Also my apologies for the late report as i had to go back into the hospital last week.
Cheers, Calvin, He Who Barely Survived

Moonglove feels metagamed against Monastery Mentor and Pyro, but it takes out so many things I'm actually interested on how I never heard of it before. Mono-brown Shock!

Wow, interesting choice in Iona, Shield of Emeria from Robert Edwards. Also, no Sol Ring but Mana Crypt? Interesting. I'm sure there is some reasoning behind those decisions though.

Not that I know, but it probably has to do with the fact that Mana Crypt facilitates a turn 1 Oath, whereas Sol Ring does not.

I heard that Rob Edwards is just plain crazy and there was no reasoning behind his card choices.

I heard that Rob Edwards is just plain crazy in love with Shawn Griffiths and there was no reasoning behind his card choices other than his love and physical obsession for Shawn Griffiths.
Fixed that for you!

I cannot deny any of these statements. To actually answer the questions: Not that I know, but it probably has to do with the fact that Mana Crypt facilitates a turn 1 Oath, whereas Sol Ring does not.
Don't sell yourself short. This is exactly why I ran Crypt but not Sol Ring. Good call. I ran Iona, Shield of Emeria because I expected a lot of people to test their Gifts and/or Mentor decks. I thought naming Blue might lead to a few free wins.

Depends on the match up. Usually some combination of the below, I don't always bring in 15 though: 3 darkblast 4 golgari-grave troll 1 sun titan 1 griselbrand 3 dread return 4 serum powder 4 cabal therapy 2 bridge from below
