I asked him if he made any changes.

“I added a Dress Down the the main and cut a Dragon’s Rage Channeler, and then put another Mystical Dispute in the board. I was expecting more Hammer, Titan and more Murktide. But paper metas are weird so they can be completely random too. I think I was right but it didn’t end up mattering that much.”

Philippe Asselin made top 8 with a saucy Archon Creativity list.

Naturally, I had to ask him about the deck.

“I’ve been playing Creativity for 3 events now and the deck always felt great to me. It has just enough interaction to get you to your first resolving of Indomitable Creativity. Furthermore, the power of a resolved Archon of Cruelty is sometimes enough to win games. My recent addition of white to include Teferis also felt much needed in the interactive matchups. I like what the deck does and I’ll stop playing it when it starts losing.”

That’s it for me, so when’s our next event? We have actually been on a roll recently, basically running an F2F Tour Stop every weekend. This Saturday, we will be at the Saskatoon Inn & Conference Centre hosting F2F Tour Stop Saskatoon. Hope to see some of you there! Check out the event page for full details!
