Going for a Tumble: A Scars PTQ Top 8

I played in the “Blue Duals” tournament at Get Your Game On last weekend. I split with the other players in the top four taking home 1 Underground Sea, 1 Tropical Island, and 1 Volcanic Island. I played the following list:

Feature Article - The Bastille-Bastion of Basem #1

Greetings my fellow magicians, my name is Basem Askoul, and I am very excited to debut my very first magic article here. Most of you know me from Get Your Game On where I've had some modest success across various formats; I also have in my possession one PTQ top 8 pin (did it!). That nonsense aside, I like to believe that people know/respect me due to my friendly attitude and funky deck design (some good, mostly bad).

Pack 1, Pick 1:

Kai Draft #25 (SOM 8-4)

I've drafted this format a total of four times before today. And one of those was a disastrous PTQ Top 8 draft. That also happened to be the only draft I didn't draft poison. Well, it's time to learn what to do when the infect creatures aren't coming.

Pack 1, Pick 1:

Road House (Write for us!)

About 2 months ago I had moved to Ann Arbor and most of my free time was being gobbled up by work and more work. I haven't been able to keep up with what is being posted on The Rusty Machete and I haven't had time to edit articles into works of art.

Time heals all wounds.
