I play most of my Magic online these days.

This is not something I'm happy with, to be honest. I'm no Romeo curmudgeon. Given the choice, I'd rather be slinging spells with my mates, a bottle of Newkie Brown at my elbow, tapping and laughing and attacking for two. However, it's not down to me anymore.

When I first moved to Leeds, Magic was my rock. I came to this fine city with a pocketful of hope and a tinker's dream... actually, I came here with a exciting job offer and a sackful of Magic cards, but that's neither here nor there. I was friendless, cashless, and — for a time, at least — homeless.

The job didn't pan out, but the Magic blossomed. I made friends here through cardboard, and my life-path was set toward the heady course down which I currently plummet. At one stage I shared a house with four other Magic-playing friends... what we lacked in uncluttered surfaces, we made up for in duels. Hours and hours, every night.

Things changed, of course. They always do.

Jay got married. I've not seen him for ages. Mike I see now and then, but the call of Everquest was louder than the call of Dominaria. Matt became a doctor, while the other Matt became a real doctor. Scottish Bob disappeared, taking his water jug with him, and Steve? Steve's not been seen for years. Paul's still about, as is Geordie... but the days of Team Leeds making up three cars per PTQ are long gone.

I still play each PTQ I can, and every prerelease and Grand Prix trial that comes my way. When the Pro Tour beckons, I'll scamper along as usual... and I'm playing GP: Amsterdam (with a Scotsman, no less — I fear for my liver). But practice? Thursdays only. And sometimes we play Settlers instead.

Thus my focus, for practice at least, lies with the electronic cards. I draft when I can, sometimes as much as twice or three times a day (funds and winning streaks permitting), but I've never had the cards for true Constructed MTGO play. I'm slowly building my collection, though... I can play Time Spiral Block, as long as I don't need Teferis in my deck.

(Heh. My next 16 tix, I promise.)

I've promised myself another trip to Worlds this year... my Parisian Adventure began and ended at the Flag Ceremony, sadly. Although BDM told me I was one of the few “champions” that looked genuinely pleased to be there. That pleasure didn't last far into my 1-5 Day 1, I can tell you.

I need to practice in order to qualify for Worlds again. Realistically, I'll only manage an invite through English Nationals — I've done it once, I can do it again. Sure, I'd love to bank on the lottery-win of a Pro Tour Top 8 or Grand Prix win. Do I want it badly enough? Definitely. Will it happen? Doubtful.

If I wanna storm Nationals, I've gotta work hard. So Magic Online it is.

When blisterguy hung up his boots, I wracked my brains for a replacement. Of course, I knew my own path through Magic was going to be largely electronic... but having me replace the Legendary Ray wasn't even an inkling. After all, they're mighty large clown shoes to fill. And I've not done any real writing for a while.

I had offers. People clamoring for the column. But in the end I realised that I should put my metaphorical money in my metaphorical mouth, and bite the biscuit hard.

In order to kick-start my flagging Writer-Moped, and help power my game to the next level, I decided to take up the challenge. A weekly column, chronicling the metagame and the marvel of Magic Online. Hey, I had a few fun ideas for the column when Ray was at the helm... maybe I can use them now he's gone.

Will there be changes? Of course. I'm sure someone's favorite blisterfeature will go the way of the dodo. However, I hope I'll have some new and funky stuff in their place.

As for the changes planned, I'll reveal them in my own good mystical time. The first is obvious — the column name. Goodbye “Magic Online Musings.” Hello “Online Outlook.”

Count yourself lucky. I nearly called the column “MODO Bandit Warlord.”

...

We'll start off sedately today, as I'm still finding my feet around the MTGO Premier Events pages. As I've mentioned, I've traditionally used MTGO as little more than a draft table, with seven worthy opponents always ready to shuffle up. Electric Constructed is a foreign country to me, at least in the playing. I've a total of one Constructed Premier Event to my name... although I did make Top 8, largely down to my 6-2 performance with Scryb and Force being just good enough when the real Top 8 player fell asleep and was auto-dropped in his last match.

Let's take a look at the Standard Top 8 results that have happened this past week.

Standard 2x Premier Event #1, February 15th 2007

1 Dralnu Du Louvre
2 G/W Glare
3 Dragonstorm
4 Dralnu Du Louvre
5 Combo Goblins (Empty the Warrens, Goblin King)
6 Dragonstorm
7 U/G Scryb and Force
8 Dragonstorm

This first sees a win for Dralnu Du Louvre, which, as you'll see, is something of a leitmotif of the following rundown. Dragonstorm put up respectable numbers, with three decks making the final table. The Combo Goblins deck that was defeated in the quarterfinals appeared to be Mono-Red, but without further information I wouldn't bank on it. Perhaps the biggest shock here was the G/W Glare deck making the final... in a field where control appears king, how the hell did the slow beats of Selesnya power its way to the top? Still, fair play... I love the deck, and always will.

Standard 2x Premier Event #2, February 15th 2007

1 Dralnu Du Louvre
2 Dragonstorm
3 Dragonstorm
4 B/W Control
5 Dragonstorm
6 Dralnu Du Louvre
7 Rakdos
8 Izzetron

Again we see Dralnu perform, and again we see Dragonstorm doing that turn 4 thing it does so well. The Black/White control deck looked fun — Phyrexian Arenas, Debtor's Knell, the Dimir House-Guard Transmute engine, and a host of discard. Izzetron made a showing, as did a fun-looking Rakdos build powered by Hit / Run and Rise / Fall. I think this was the tournament where, against Dragonstorm, Bob said Hit / Run followed by Rise / Fall, and a single hardcast Hellkite (plus Rakdos land-pain) gave Dragonstorm the win. Mise.

Standard 2x Premier Event #3, February 16th 2007

1 U/G Scryb and Force
2 G/B Reanimator
3 Dralnu du Louvre
4 Simictron
5 Mono Green Aggro
6 Dralnu Du Louvre
7 U/W Tron
8 Mono Green Aggro

Of the contenders here, the funkiest deck in the pack has to be the G/B Reanimator. The dredge engine got stuff into the bin, as did Greenseeker, and Dread Return brought stuff back. I saw one match in which their Mono-Green opponent scooped to a turn 4 Blazing Archon two games running, and another where the U/G Scryb and Force player took down said Archon with the help of two Serrated Arrows. Sometimes Stinkweed Imps just don't beat down quick enough. I also loved the Simictron deck. Sudden Shock your morph? Nope, he's now Shapeshifted into a second Simic Sky Swallower. Good Game.

Oh, and the 5th place Mono Green Aggro player had Scragnoth in the board. Gotta love that.

Standard 2x Premier Event #4, February 17th 2007

1 Dralnu Du Louvre
2 Dralnu Du Louvre
3 R/W/U Control (Hellkite, Annex, and Signets)
4 U/G Scryb and Force
5 Dragonstorm
6 Dralnu Du Louvre
7 No-show
8 Boros

There was nothing fun or funky about this one... A double-Dralnu final. Don't these people have souls? Boros made Top 8, I suppose. Score one for the Forces of Light. The Dralnu decks, one Dragonstorm... and my first no-show. I felt gypped by that.

Standard 2x Premier Event #5, February 17th 2007

1 R/W/U Firemane Angel Control
2 Dragonstorm
3 Dralnu Du Louvre
4 R/W/U This Girl (Lightning Angel, Court Hussar)
5 B/W Control
6 U/B Control (blown by Dragonstorm so unsure)
7 Dragonstorm
8 Dralnu Du Louvre

Talk about a blast from the past... in a world of Tormod's Crypts, Firemane Control took down all comers. Props to that man. Hell, Extirpate promises to bum that deck with a cactus, so why the hell not go out in style. Play ‘em while you've got ‘em. Again, Dragonstorm and Dralnu Du Louvre seemed the Tier 1 strategies going in... the 6th place U/B Control may well have been more Dralnu dodginess, but Dragonstorm dispatched him before three lands were laid. Note another showing for the B/W Control deck... same pilot, similar result.

Standard 2x Premier Event #6, February 18th 2007

1 U/W Tron
2 U/B Soggy Pickles
3 U/G Scryb and Force
4 U/G Simic Beats (Trygon Predator, Plaxmanta)
5 Dralnu Du Louvre
6 Dralnu Du Louvre
7 R/W/U Lightning Angel “This Girl”
8 Dralnu Du Louvre

The first with no Dragonstorm showing... is this a blip, or a sign of a trend? Regardless, Dralnu continued to make hay while the sun shines, taking 3 of the 8 without making it past the quarters. Old-Style Simic Beats was fun to see, as was This Girl — beatdown decks with some control elements are my kinda meatball. However, the U/B Soggy Pickles deck was my favorite in this Top 8. I saw Islands and Swamps and Watery Graves and thought “bloody Dralnu again!” I clicked on the triple-fast-forward button and watched a bit of Buffy, and when I looked back the screen was full of Willbenders and Fathom Seers. I had to watch the match again. Good skills.

Standard 2x Premier Event #7, February 19th 2007

1 U/W Tron
2 B/W Martyr Mid-Range Beats (Ghost Council)
3 Boros
4 Mono Green Beats
5 U/W Tron
6 Simictron
7 Rakdos
8 Dralnu Du Louvre

Hmm... no Dragonstorm. Interesting. Almost no Dralnu either, but one booger had to gall to creep past the security fence. 8th place. Another showing for Simictron and Rakdos (again, same pilots in both cases), and a fun outing for B/W Martyr Mid-Range beats. Martyr of Ashes, Ghost Council of Orzhova, and other related monsters. Discard and removal too. Nice.

Standard 2x Premier Event #8, February 19th 2007

1 Simictron
2 U/G Simic Beats
3 U/G Scryb and Force
4 B/W Control
5 Gruul Beats
6 Izzetron
7 U/R Wildfire Control
8 Dragonstorm

Simictron took this one... again, the same pilot. His MTGO name is Sakurai, and I messaged him for an interview and decklist. Sadly, he didn't respond. Ah well, go watch his replays and work one out for yourselves. It's a fun-looking deck. Hopefully he'll read this and come post in the forums. The U/R Wildfire control deck seemed a little funky — there were no Tron lands to be seen, despite copious mana both games in the quarterfinals. In fact, the only reason I knew Wildfire was involved (and no other LD, mind) was that I saw it discarded to a Compulsive Research. Strange. Moving on, Black/White Control continued its run of good results (again, with the same pilot), and there was a surprise performance by Gruul Beats. Go Go Red and Green Monsters!

Oh, and no sign of Dralnu Du Louvre. Sing Hosannas!

Standard 2x Premier Event #8, February 20th 2007

1 Dralnu Du Louvre
2 B/W Control
3 Dralnu Du Louvre
4 B/W/U Control
5 U/W Tron
6 Dralnu Du Louvre
7 Boros
8 Mono Green Aggro

The rumors of the demise of Dralnu Du Louvre were sadly erroneous. Just look at those results... Control, Control, Control, Control, Control, Control, Aggro, Aggro. And that's before Damnation sees play. Lame. Still, nice work by Mr Black/White Control, keeping up the results with another fine showing. Pity Dralnu took the lot in the end. Oh, and one more thing... the Mono Green Aggro list had Whirling Dervish maindeck. How'd ya like them onions!

Standard Overview

So what can we learn about the changes to the Standard online metagame this week?

It seems that Control is king, that's for sure. Dralnu Du Louvre is posting the most consistent numbers across the board. Add to those Top 8 finishes by U/W Tron, Izzetron, and a remarkable dearth of Aggro strategies, and you'll find a metagame rife with “slow and steady wins the race” offerings.

However, trickiness can be rewarded — U/B Soggy Pickles did well, as did Reanimator, and Annex and Firemane Angel (when they appeared). It seems that the real aggro strategies to ally with are the mid-range offerings: U/G Scryb and Force performed passably well, as did a host of others (B/W Mid-Range, G/W Glare). It's not the time for Little Red or Green Men, it seems.

But what of Combo? While Dragonstorm started the week at a tear, the Four Hellkites of the Apocalypse were hardly registering by the end of the week... I don't think this is indicative of the deck lagging in the face of new tech, however. It's probably more a case of Dragonstorm Is As Dragonstorm Does. It'll turn 4 ya, or it'll bum itself. Sometimes that Combo deck just don't wanna party. Of course, with Planar Chaos looming next week, we'll see if the deck can survive a fresh rotation. Extirpate your Rite of Flame seems fun.

As for innovation... if you're after something fun and competitive, my tips for the week are:

1) G/B Reanimator
2) B/W Control
3) Simictron

Go check ‘em out in the Premier Events replay archive. In future, I hope to bring you more decklists in this section... sadly, it wasn't to be this time.

Let's move onto Extended. After all, everyone's got an online playset of Pernicious Deeds... right?

Extended 2x Premier Event #1, February 13th 2007

1 Aggro Rock
2 Dirty Kitty
3 Boros
4 Aggro Loam
5 Aggro Loam
6 Scepter Chant
7 U/G Opposition
8 U/W Tron

Just as Dralnu Du Louvre seems the Deck to Beat in Standard, the online Extended scene also has a Big Dog — Aggro Loam. While it only managed a 4th and 5th finish here, you'll find it dotted throughout the other Top 8 results. This event saw no great upsets, other than the maligned Dirty Kitty finishing highly. I suppose Goblins can just do that to you. It's nice to see the Opposition deck place well, too... I think we can safely say that it's not just a flash in the pan. Sideboard those Starstorms, people!

Extended 2x Premier Event #2, February 14th 2007

1 U/B TrinketTog
2 Aggro Loam
3 U/B TrinketTog
4 Gifts Rock
5 U/B TrinketTog
6 Aggro Loam
7 Affinity
8 Goblins

Next up, a triple-whammy of TrinketTog goodness, proving you can't keep a good toothy three-mana powerhouse down. Again, there's a healthy smattering of Aggro Loam, and the specter of Affinity rears its ugly mechanical head. Gifts Rock is another deck we can expect to show well... but Goblins? Straight Mono-Red Goblins? Man, that was a surprise. Maybe it was Dirty Kitty... I doubt it though, I saw no Green at all, and the Mono-Red Goblin deck did feature a far bit in the following events. Maybe the Goblin gamers took a look at Roy Williams's 6-0 deck from Worlds and decided it was a winner. It's not been a force in the Real Life meta... is Online the home for the Little Red Men?

Extended 2x Premier Event #3, February 16th 2007

1 Aggro G/W (Phantom Centaurs, Trolls, Hierarchs)
2 Aggro Loam
3 Mono-Blue Jushi / Teferi Control (Meloku Beats)
4 Boros with Green
5 U/G/W Blinket Mage
6 U/B TrinketTog
7 Boros with Blue
8 Goblins

First things first... G/W Haterator this ain't. Mid-Range Green Aggro, packed with maindeck Armadillo Cloaks and Phantom Centaurs. It seemed to steamroller all it its path. Aggro Loam again performed well, as did Boros (one deck fetched a Steam Vents early on... It wasn't Gaea's Might Get There, so maybe it was for Electrolyse or Fire / Ice? Baffled). More Mono-Red Goblins brought up the rear, and TrinketTog again kicked ass, but the two deck I liked to most were the Mono-Blue Jushi Control deck that battered down with Meloku, and the U/G/W Trinket Mage deck that utilized Momentary Blink. I called it Blinket Mage, because I'm funny. Blinking the Mage was fantastic, and Hierarchs were also in effect. I didn't see a Mystic Snake, but I presume they were there too. Lovely.

Extended 2x Premier Event #4, February 18th 2007

1 Aggro Loam
2 G/U/R Ninja Beats (Ninjas, equipment, countermagic, Trygon Predator)
3 Boros
4 Affinity
5 Goblins
6 Goblins
7 Affinity
8 Affinity

Now this is a Top 8 to be proud of! Sure, Aggro Loam took home all the sweetbreads, but just look at that beatdown pedigree! Three Affinity decks, two Goblins, and a Boros! Even the G/U/R deck was getting its smack on. That was the nicest deck of the bunch, to be fair... Ninjas are cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet. On a more somber note, however... three Affinity decks. Does anyone else shudder at those kind of numbers? Where were the Ancient Grudges? Oh yeah, there were three in the Aggro Loam player's opening seven.

Extended 2x Premier Event #5, February 19th 2007

1 U/B TrinketTog
2 Aggro Loam
3 U/W Tron
4 Four-color Boros/Zoo (with Top)
5 U/W Tron
6 U/W VesuvaPost
7 Rock and Flow
8 U/W Tron (Online Tech)

In the last of the 2x Premier Events, TrinketTog and Aggro Loam proved themselves to be the largest bananas in the box, but this time U/W Tron made a power-play for superiority. Maybe Richard and Zac were right... VesuvaPost made its first, and only, appearance in a Top 8 this week. Of course, it was U/W rather than Bleiweiss-inspired U/G. You'll never win a PTQ with that, son. The strangest deck of this Top 8 has to be the four-color Zoo deck with Sensei's Divining Top. Actually, it probably wasn't a Zoo deck at all. I'll admit it, I was confused watching it. Please, someone go check the tournament and tell us what the deck really was (in the forums).

Oh, and Frank Karsten finished 8th. I'm sure he'll tell that story in his column.

Extended 4x Premier Event #6, February 17th 2007

1 U/W Tron — Dirve
2 U/B TrinketTog - _operator_
3 Rock w/ Red — yorick
4 U/B TrinketTog - Roza Rozewicz
5 U/W Tron - Ace King Suited
6 Flow Deck Wins w/ Baloth — Bescared
7 Gifts Rock — Norge
8 Boros w/ Black - urban jedi

Finally, here are the results from the Premier Premier event of this past week — a 4x Extended extravaganza, with nigh-on 150 players. It was won by Dirve with U/W Tron. I approached him for an interview and decklist, but he's saving it for team-mates at Grand Prix: Dallas. He did, however, ask me to tell everyone that he's won 3 2x Premier Events with his list, and made Top 8 in many more. He also asked if I could tell everyone how awesome he is, and mention that he has loads of girlfriends. There you go, Dirve! Job done!

A guy called _operator_ placed second (how the hell do you pronounce “underscore”?). I caught up with him and got the lowdown on his deck, performance, and MTGO life.

What is your full name, and where are you from?
My name is Leszek Dutkiewicz. I'm from Poland

How old are you, and what do you do for a living?
I'm 21, and I study information and econometrics with finances and banking. That's quite lot of learning, so I don't have enough time to get a job.

Seems fair. What is your online name, and your clan's name?
My MTGO name is _operator_. My clan is Team UMK.

Do you play mostly on MTGO, or in Real Life?
I play mostly on MTGO, but I do try to take part in every Premiere Event around. Unfortunately, there haven't been many lately, so I have no choice but to turn to Magic Online.

I hear ya, fella. Have you played on the Pro Tour? Have you won any cool real life tournaments?
I've not played on the tour. Most of PTQs are Sealed Deck, which I really don't like. Maybe I'm just a weak Limited player... it's hard to say. I made the finals of the Standard Amateur Challenge in Geneva, which was pretty cool. I've also done well in some real life tournaments, but they were non-Premiere Events with no more than 70-80 participants.

70-80 players? Sounds like English Nationals. So, apart from Magic, what are your hobbies?
I read books about politics. I like good music, driving my car, and Friday night barbecues with my friends.

You finished 2nd in a 4x Extended Premier Event... can you share your decklist?

Where did you get your decklist from, and did you make any changes?
My clan-mate invented it - JediKnight. I've only tuned it a little by adding Meloku, the White splash, and some maindeck changes, but the deck's idea belongs to Jedi.

What are the strongest cards in the deck, in relation to the metagame?
There is no “strongest card” in this deck. The strength is this deck's synergy, and the interaction between Confidant / Top, Counterbalance / Top, and so on. This gives you huge card advantage, and Psychatog just stops opponent's beatdown until you can swing for lethal.

Apart from the 4x Premier event, have you won any other tournaments with this deck?
I've won two 2x Premier Events, and my team-mate - Bajka - won another. He was also in the final of PTQ in Geneva with this deck, so our overall score looks pretty good so far.

What does your deck do well against?
Aggro Loam and TEPS are the best matchups for this deck.

What does your deck do badly against?
Affinity and Ichorid, but these are matchups you can win by casting a single card. You have some ways to fetch these cards too, so after sideboarding these matchups are fine.

Does your deck get stronger or weaker when Planar Chaos arrives? Why?
I have no idea. Damnation seems to be okay but not awesome. It's no better than the Ghastly Demises / Darkblasts versus Boros, and versus Affinity Kataki is much better. There aren't many popular decks against which you really want Damnation in your sideboard.

Would you recommend your deck to people playing in GP: Dallas?
It's the best deck in the field, and since the decklist is available for everyone you should be prepared to play against it. You can't get really poor draws with it because of its low mana curve, and you don't often mulligan with it. Generally, if you and your opponent both get normal draws, you win. You lose to things like turn 2 TEPS combo, or turn 3-4 Tron, or turn 2 “three small dudes” from aggro decks. Versus average draws, you should win regardless.

In the 4x Premier event, what did you play against?
Hmm... I don't remember it very well, but I think I played against three Gifts Tron decks, one Gifts Rock deck, and two Boros decks.

In the 4x Premier event, do you have any good stories to share?(Cool topdecks, excellent game wins, etc)...?
I remember some of my opponent's great topdecks, but none of mine. Wait a second... there was one for sure! In the final match U/W Gifts Tron, my opponent played Platinum Angel when I was at three life, and I knew that I didn't have any answers in my hand or in the top three cards of my library. But the fourth one... was one of my two Ghastly Demises! I drew a card, used the Top, and found it.

Unfortunately, my opponent killed me anyway, with tokens from next turn's End of Turn Decree of Justice.

Bad beats. What deck would you recommend for Standard?
My favorite deck is U/G Scryb and Force, but it's a bit too random to call it “the best deck.” Sometimes you get really bad draws. It ain't about luck, but it just happens when half of your deck is mana. Dralnu seem to be the best deck, especially with Damnation.

Yeah, bloody Dralnu. I hate it. Anyway, last question: what card do you like most for Constructed in Planar Chaos?
Damnation, for obvious reasons. Generally I like control decks, and this card makes the U/B combination much stronger.

Thanks for your time Leszek! Good luck in your future tournaments (unless you play me, because I hope you get manascrewed if you do).

Extended Overview

It looks like Aggro Loam and Leszek's U/B TrinketTog are the current decks to beat. Of course, if you're Aggro-minded, I recommend Affinity. In the one Premier Event in which is posted significant numbers, it took a heavy Ancient Grudge hand to take it down. Three in the Top 8 is a lot, and can only mean that the hatred wasn't out in force. Something to consider, at least.

Other strong contenders appear to be U/W Tron and, strangely, Goblins. Sure, Boros posted a few numbers, but if you want Aggro then Affinity is the one true call, I feel. Decks such as Gifts Rock and Scepter Chat posted marginal results, which is probably to do with the cost of the cards... but where the hell was TEPS? Nowhere, that's where! Similarly, the Trinket Angel deck seemed conspicuous by their absence.

Finally, if you're looking for something with a little more spirit, try out U/G Opposition, G/U/R Ninja Beats, or my personal call: Blinket Mage. Just for the name, baby!

(In reality, if you wanna win, play Aggro Loam. It's the best deck in the field.)

...

Right, that's me done for this week. I'm turning this in an hour late. Sorry folks, but it took me much longer than I anticipated to collate the data (don't worry, I've sent myself a surly email of complaint). I promise to be swifter than an eagle next week, where I'll have more of the same. I'll also to have some more fun stuff, if all goes to plan... watch this space.

I hope you've enjoyed this article. If so, or if not, come talk to me in the forums. It's a departure from blisterguy's usual stuff, but hopefully it's an exciting change. I'm eager for feedback, so tell me what you'd like to see. In writing this, I already know some improvements I could make (tournament numbers for the Premier Events is an obvious one, and I plan to track down as many fun decklists as I can for future articles). So, don't be shy... come share your views.

See you next week for some more Electronic Magic. Remember — you can't stop the signal.

Thanks for listening.
