The Dragon's Maze round-robin tourney is go! I like how each deck contains four of the relevant Guildgate dual land. You also get two of the corresponding Cluestone mana artifact. That should have been four as well, I reckon. If you aren't aware of the secret of the gates, it's spelt out here (solution at the end) - http://goo.gl/Zwais

Duel Deck Sorin on its way to an eight games to two victory over Duel Deck Tibalt. RS was correct in declaring them a stupidly uneven match. The games DDT did win were due to an absolute "God draw" and, in the second case, early beats followed by an unanswered Sulfuric Vortex (Mortify failed to show for DDS). For the record, the final life totals in each duel were: 26 to -1; 24 to -2; -8 to 20; 1 to 0; 0 to 5; 26 to -5; 19 to -3; 4 to -2; 14 to 0; 14 to -2. As you can see, Soren dispensed regular thrashings. Versus any kind of burn, Lifelink is a nightmare.

1st - R/W - 3 matches, 8 games
2nd - G/R - 3 matches, 6 games
3rd - B/U - 2 matches, 6 games
4th - B/W - 1 match, 6 games
5th - U/G - 1 match, 4 games

I've always liked R/W - from weenies with a bit of direct damage to wacky combos such as Moat/Gravity Sphere to landkill using Strip Mine, Stone Rain and Armageddon. I won a minor prize at a Card Trek, Mayfield tournament once playing a R/W deck I dubbed "Blood And Milk" (having recently seen a program on the Maasai tribesmen). It was heavily metagamed, e.g. 4x Swords To Ploughshares AND 4 x Disintegrate to deal with a reanimator build that was running rampant. All of the creatures had protections or tricky abilities. Did you know that Molly Ringwald had released a jazz album? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkonMTuXJNM

Ready for battle: Gatecrash intro packs

Dimir Dementia (B/U), Orzhov Oppression (B/W), Simic Synthesis (U/G), Gruul Goliaths (G/R) and Boros Battalion (R/W). Utilising the "cipher", "extort", "evolve", "bloodrush" and "battalion" mechanics, respectively. So many damn rules these days.
