nationals

I just looked at the first 20 pages of so of top-8's in the last three months at star city, and i saw that george and ben c. finished 1 and 2 in arkansas. also, i saw a surprise--brilliant ultimatum was in some weird esper control, and it made 5 and 6 in a nationals qualifier. kinda weird. polymorph is alive and strong. there were some 1st place finishes for polymorph. no warp world. with super friend and eldrazi conscript and jund and, well, pretty much everything, you need a strong fast deck, or a strong control deck, and valakut-warp world is neither. I didn't see any rw creatureless, but there were a couple of RWU (for denial and jace and spreading seas) with most of the cards you run. basically, take out your big burn and add blue and that is the decklist. those super friends and mythic and conscript decks make me not want to rush out and play fnm anytime soon, in a way, because, well, they are good. but at least it isn't jund jund jund jund jund. that was just boring.
