Qasali Pridemage ... with all those mageslayers around it was just an awesome card to have on the table. A disenchant for 3 or a exalted for 2 and a instant disenchant for 1. 2. Wall of Denial :) 3. Marisi's twin claws... double strike is just awesome and in an exalted deck it just gets so much funner to play. Thank you to my Lord of Extinction for being a removal lure!! 4. Winged Coatl and Ethersworn Shieldmage ... flash creatures rock. Awesome combos of the day: - Naya Hushblade + Behemoth Sledge = 5/4 shroud lifelink trample - Glassdust Hulk + Puppet Conjurer = 4/5 unblockable - Knight of New Alara + Rhox Warmonk = 6/5 lifelink (disenchanted the incomming Behemoth Sledge... a 8/7 trample double lifelink is just to painful for words! (+ 2 exalteds it would've been a 10/9) Most painful moment: The dude who played a Bloodbraid elf + a mage slayer and colossal might just wasn't nice! ... I took... 14 (- 3 on my blocker) and I was at 9. Game over GG. Bant vs Bant (2-1): I lost to a Knight of New Alara + Rhox Warmonk and 2 exalted (that became 4/4s) for a grand total of a 9/8 lifelink. The rhino-leech effect! In all it was an AWESOME battle. I really enjoyed it :) My personal favorites were:
