This is a list based on one I found on mtggoldfish but since cannot find. I chose Allo-Evo because I wanted to try something different than GWx Midrange, Hatebears or Ramp and wasn't really feeling suited to Naya Zoo/Burn or Tron. Aggro is fine but I personally don't like it because it can run out of gas very easily.

Eldritch Evolution and Allosaurus Rider grabbing anything from 0-9cmc on turn 2? I got behind that combo when it was revealed and discussed but this tourney allowed me to put a deck to the enthusiasm. It starts like almost any early game deck I want to play starts: mana dorks, but it just so happens to rush out a 7cmc creature at almost any time, based on your hand - a creature that only gets bigger and better the long it sticks. Also it's basically a Ramp deck that just so happens to be Combo-centric.

If I have one regret it would be not having Iona or Burn. I honestly didn't know that Kikki-Chord was using Eldritch Evo or I might've looke do combining that flavor of K.-Chord and Allo-Evo. I also didn't think of Burn because I wanted to have a much higher chance of the Allo-Evo combo ASAP. Does the decklist I use facilitate the earliest assembly of it? Probably not, nor do I have Haste-y threats which is a shame.

All in all I had a fun time, especially just surprising all of your with my deck choice. Would've felt better had I gotten to Allo-Evo at least once each round but oh well. :'3c

p.s. I'd probably be the one to show up with a Melira Pod deck had it not been banned, now that I've seen Evo in action and like it.

Hey, decks that play ********** effects got nothing to complain about! :P

********* = Blood Moon

[aldeayeah]

Nihilm had the right answers, soundly beat me 2-0.

[Nihilm]

Good games aldeayeah, I sort of got lucky with my draws game 1.

[Seika]

Neat, new page. Hopefully last table, if we can finish this before another 44 posts?

	aldeayeah	Lycodrake	Nihilm	Rafflesiac	Ratman	Seika	Siriel
aldeayeah	XXXXXX	2-0	0-2	2-0	2-0	0-2	2-0
Lycodrake	0-2	XXXXXX	0-2	2-1	2-1	0-2	2-1
Nihilm	2-0	2-0	XXXXXX	2-0	1-2	1-2	0-2
Rafflesiac	0-2	1-2	0-2	XXXXXX	1-2	0-2	0-2
Ratman	0-2	1-2	2-1	2-1	XXXXXX	2-0
Seika	2-0	2-0	2-1	2-0	0-2	XXXXXX	2-0
Siriel	0-2	1-2	2-0	2-0		0-2	XXXXXX

	P	W	L	Opponent Match Win	Own Game Win	Opponent Game Win	Points
aldeayeah	6	4	2	46.86%	66.67%	47.30%	12
Lycodrake	6	3	3	50%	40%	52.11%	9
Nihilm	6	3	3	50%	57.14%	48.61%	9
Rafflesiac	6	0	6	60%	9.09%	56.93%	0
Ratman	5	3	2	62.5%	50%	59.26%	9
Seika	6	5	1	43.75%	76.92%	45.21%	15
Siriel	5	2	3	51.72%	55.56%	50.77%	6

(That result also means no-one can catch my points total now, whatever happens).

[Nihilm]

The only hope I have of feeling like I came close to winning is to go 4-2 and for Seika to win 2-0 against ratman, making me the only person that took a game off her.

Further response on "Lyco, Beast King" via custommtg: "where's the White?"
=p

Any response to my commentary about me running Allo-Evo? Critique, "wow, who would've thought Lyco would play that?", etc.?

In the same place new!Tamiyo's white is :P

Allo-Evo looks a bit inconsistent for my taste. I think my favorite shell for Eldritch Evolution (in its combo application, not in its hatebear application) would be Sultai.

This is basically something I'd play if I played an evo deck I think. Pretty appropriate it got uploaded today.

Will Eldritch Evolution be good enough to make the cut in this build at #SCGINVI this weekend?

Spoiler alert: it wasn't :P

[Nihilm]

Also today was like 3 days ago :P

[hatori]

is that table for EDH, Standard or Modern?

[Nihilm]

Modern

[hatori]

damn, kind of interested in joining in for the games.

[aldeayeah]

I wouldn't mind, although Lyco has already posted his decklist. Stay around, we'll probably do another one soon...

[Nihilm]

2-0 won against Raffle, I'll be honest it was a terrible matchup for him and game 1 he got mana screwed really badly.

[Rafflesiac]

I feel like Roa fresh off a bout with Shiki.

[Seika]

Five remaining matches:

aldeayeah vs. Siriel
Ratman vs. Nihilm
Ratman vs. Rafflesiac
Ratman vs. Seika
Ratman vs. Siriel

[Nihilm]

I am up for EDH tonight btw, if people want.

[Siriel]

I'm tired tonight but if one of my remaining opponents are up for a match in the next few mins I'm up for it. Otherwise it'll have to wait for tomorrow.
