This is a vent. Warning, this is a vent.
I played in an extended PDC event tonight with my auramancer deck. This deck fares pretty well vs. a lot of decks but dies horribly to a Cloak deck. To shore up that matchup I changed the deck to include at least 8 removal spells that are good vs. their hard to remove creatures, included CoP: Green, and put some [card]Kami of Ancient Law[/card] in my sideboard to kill their cloak. I’d say about a third of the deck is effective vs. a Cloak.dec matchup.
My opponent, Lunchbox Superhero, was very angry that I kept drawing efficient removal spells for his creatures and bitched and moaned accordingly. I really am stupefied that anybody could really bitch about bad beats. Being successful at MtG requires a bit of luck. Getting beaten by a top deck is just a part of the game.
What frustrates me even more is I remember losing to him on a separate occasions with 3 Guardian of the Guildpacts in play on his side. If I remember correctly I might of sent a smiley or two his way for having such incredible luck. Since I possess a reasonable amount of maturity and am not ignorant about the nature of card games I accepted my loss and moved on. Lunchbox was full of comments tonight like “why don’t you draw better”. You know, if I drew one of my 3 Grim Harvests that last game my engine would of kicked on and I could of burned him out. I guess my luck isn’t that good because I was on card 29 when the game finally ended after he top decked his third Ledgewalker.
Lunchbox, why don’t you draw better?
Next post is going to be on a positive note, too much black mana swirling around this blog.
