I have been testing the deck alot first i had Flayer of The Hatebound combo in one of the first build. Last weekend the was a SCG (Star City Games), this was the time and the chance to see how the new cards worked. The list that came second was 4C FRITES, you my see that it is smiler to my deck with some changes.

This is how it went.

Round 1 - Rob Johns - Grixis Delver

This deck i was not expecting, Olivia is pretty good VS Frites the ability to turn one of my big guys in to a vamp and the steal it. so i just play Thragtusk after Thragtusk and some Angels in to the mix and it all ended there.
2-1

Round 2 - Brett - B/W Exalted

Yet again another deck i had not tested against, this time i just let the Angels of Serenity do all the work.
2-0

Round 3 - Danny C - B/R Vamps

Yet again another deck i had not tested, this was a fun game as 1 hour before i was helping to improve the deck. Olivia yet again is good vs frites, i just played Thragtusks to gain my 5 life and brought my Angels back from the dead to fly over the empty battlefield that my opponent had.
2-0

Round 4 - ID

Went for a fag and some food :-)

Top 8 - Round 1 - Danny C - B/R vamps

The Top 8 was full of Aggro deck, i had the B/R Vamps from round 3. The same happened again playing Thragtusk to gain 5 life, bring the Angels back from the grave exiling most of his guys for the win, This time Grislebrand (GDOG) joined in on the party.

" THIS WAS THE BROAD SATE AT THE END OF GAME "


Top 8 - Round 2 - Rob Johns - Grixis Delver 

Was the deck form round one of the Swiss, i just played Thragtusk after Thragtusk to win a move on to the final. 
2-0

Top 8 - FINAL - Andrew - B/W Winne 

This Deck was really fast it took game one of me before i could get control of the board. Game 2 i sideboard in an extra Rolling Temblor to deal with the Geist of St Traft and the mass of small critters. So i played Thragtusk over and over to take game 2. Game 3 was close geist came down i rolled it away with Rolling Temblor, Geist came down again and i kind of miracle and Rolling Temblor, Then i started to get control of the broad with Thragtusk and Angels, to win the game and to take the set. 


After the day was over i though back on what was the best thing to play, play Thragtusks there sweet.

Thanx for reading guys.
