[Pandemonium] TO Report for 11/14 Mox Event

[ErtaiAdept]

Finally got around to getting all this stuff put together only a week late.

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in the event last weekend.  I had a blast seeing everyone despite my own terrible record.   I hope to keep these going in the next year, but this will likely be the last one till after the new-year due to time constraints and such with holidays.

Love to hear more about the Hermit Druid list. I used a similar one a little over a year ago swapping an additonal dread return and elvish visionary instead of Azami and Anegl of Glory's Rise.

Love to hear more about the Hermit Druid list. I used a similar one a little over a year ago swapping an additonal dread return and elvish visionary instead of Azami and Anegl of Glory's Rise.

Having watched the list in the top 8, it was certainly more powerful and resilient than I would have thought, and really fun to watch.

[davidasmatthews]

I've found it solid even against graveyard hate. You just switch modes to search for the maniac, play it then activate the druid. Most the countermagic out there doesn't stop hermit druid from being played either. I've been wanting to break it out again since chalice was the bane of the deck.
