So this does not represent my best playing I'll admit. The week started out all right, but towards the end I started making stupid mistakes. I was playing tired, trying to race when I should have slowed down, I even missed my turn because I was distracted. The jund/naya deck I reviewed last week took a hit this week, catching up on losses to come equal to it's wins. It did win a few more times though, so I think it's the case of the deck's player rather then the deck's synergy. I have noticed an increase in land flood this week, where I would just need a creature or removal spell. It really didn't matter much, but I would draw land for 4-5 turns, and they would stabilize and recover. It happens with much more frequency on MTGO then in real life it seems. My friend and I both experience this, and we both thing that the shuffler program needs a few tweaks. However, nothing we can really do about it, so until next week remember...all work an no play.
