Only two months after the (much fun) Midnight Fun pre-release, it was Crimson Vow’s turn. As usual, both boys and I were onboard to make our way down to the LGS to play with the new cards. Unfortunately, due to some scheduling conflicts, there was no trip to North to Exile this time around.

Fortunately, Face to Face is not far away. With some restrictions still in place, as soon as registration was open, our names were on the list.

We made our way down Saturday morning and were cracking new packs before long. My pool was underwhelming. Aside from the disappointing absence of mythics (I had hoped for a Faithbound Judge or Avabruck Caretaker in particular), I found that there was nothing inspiring.

White was strong with spirit creatures but lacked in the spells area. Blue and black did not inspire me. Red and green had a decent but not overwhelming synergy. I decided to splash in some white to add Voice of the Blessed.

My first game proved that the deck was ill-tuned. It felt all over the place and did not address the threats coming at me. I went down quickly. My opponent was kind enough to offer to take a look through my deck and made a few recommendations. Voice of the Blessed made a quick exit as a WW in a splash colour simply would never work (I should have known better).

My tuned up deck allowed me to wrap up with 1-2 record. Christian went 2-1 while Noah joined me with a 1-2 record as well. No mythics for him as well.
