Living the dream in Magic 2014 Limited

I have done a lot of M14 Phantom Sealed Deck events lately. They are the best + EV tournaments on Magic Online (if you are a better than average player) and they are very fun.

This time I managed to build a very ambitious deck, having the power of Angelic Accord + Bogbrew Witch + Bubbling Cauldron + Dark Prophecy + Festering Newt. Think about it. That is quite hard to beat.

The question that remains then is: Did I manage to do it?

Well, find our for yourself by watching the video below:


Here is the deck list: 10 Swamp 7 Plains 1 Haunted Plate Mail 1 Celestial Flare 1 Sentinel Sliver 1 Auramancer 2 Pacifism 1 Bonescythe Sliver 1 Minotaur Abomination 2 Mark of the Vampire 1 Siege Mastodon 1 Dark Prophecy 1 Liturgy of Blood 1 Capashen Knight 1 Blood Bairn 1 Griffin Sentinel 1 Deathgaze Cockatrice 1 Bogbrew Witch 1 Corpse Hauler 1 Angelic Accord 1 Bubbling Cauldron 1 Festering Newt 1 Sengir Vampire Follow my YouTube channel at youtube.com/MagicGatheringStrat for more M14 goodies.

The New Player Limited tournaments are nerfed

For a long time, the 4-man New Player Sealed Deck and the 4-man New Played Drafts have been the limited tournaments with the best EV on Magic Online. If you were a decent player, you could go infinite on these fairly easily. Not anymore. Starting today, the cost of the 4-man tournaments have increased from 1 Event Ticket + 1 New Player Ticket to 1 Event Ticket + 2 New Player Tickets without a corresponding prize increase.

It was probably too good  anyway. For some reason we get a truly horrid -EV Scheduled Sealed Deck tournament you can play for 5 New Player Tickets as well.

They also fixed the long-running Pauper bugs with the cards Oubliette and Kaervek's Torch. Finally.

Here is the announcement: http://community.wizards.com/content/blog/4051771

As a sidenote, the 4-man tournaments are still the best EV limited tournaments on Magic Online.
