2010-11 Precon Championships: Make Your Predictions!
The first round of exciting Precon Playoff action should be coming to you this weekend, so it’s time to start making your predictions! Here are the first round matches:
Think you can pick the winners? Remember, each correct pick is worth 1 point, and the person at the end of the 2010-11 Precon Playoff with the most points wins the contest! That lucky person will have a copy of Magic 2012’s Grab for Power as well as an Innistrad Intro Pack headed their way!
For those who’d like to brush up on how each deck looks, here are reviews for each of the upcoming contenders:
All posted predictions up until the moment the Nagle Division’s first round matches are posted (this weekend) will be accepted. So pull out the racing forms, sharpen those pencils, and let us know in the comments which decks will win in these first four matchups. Good luck!
Ertai's Lament 
Dragons (DD)
Knights (DD)
Ravaging Swarm (NPH)
War of Attrition (NPH-e)
All winners in first round
Wait, you didn’t include links to the decklists, how are we supposed to decide? =(
Dragons could go either way since the decks are pretty much the same. I’ll go with the Archenemy one I guess.
Battle Cries has a shot against Knights if it gets good draws, but it also has clunky cards like Razorfield Rhino and Kuldotha Ringleader slowing it down. I think Knights takes it.
What cards are in Ravaging Swarm? Oh wait I don’t care because Deadspread sucks. Ravaging Swarm wins.
Which is better, the deck with clunky flyers that relies on clunky equipment to win, or the deck with efficient creatures and removal that relies on good equipment to win? War of Attrition wins, not close. Devouring Skies has one Doom Blade and one Darkslick Drake as the only cards that can beat a turn 2 Porcelain Legionnaire? Ick.
Great suggestion on the links, thanks!
My picks to win in this first round of matches:
Dragons (DD)
Knights (DD)
Ravaging Swarm (NPH)
War of Attrition (NPH-e)
War of Attrition, Knights, and Ravaging Swarm all seem like pretty obvious choices, and I guess the dragon matchup will go to Scorch the World with Dragonfire.
Though I’ll laugh way too hard if the Dragon’s Claw from the duel deck pops up and ends up making an impact on any of those games. 😛
That would be awesome. Dragons wins thanks to Dragon’s Claw. xD
1. Dragons – ARC
2. Battle Cries
3. Deadspread
4. War of Attrition
Dragons
Knights
Ravaging Swarm
War of Attrition
Allright, here are my votes:
* Dragons (DD)
* Knights (DD)
* Ravaging Swarm (NPH)
* War of Attrition (NPHe)
Great idea you came up with, setting up a scoring sytem.
Let’s get in for the matchups!
I vote for whichever deck you play as…. haha I’m just kidding
My votes are:
Dragons (DD)
Knights (DD)
Ravaging Swarm (NPH)
War of Attrition (NPH-e)
My predictions are:
1- Scorch the World with Dragonfire (ARC)
2- Knights (DD)
3- Ravaging Swarm (NPH)
4- War of Attrition (NPHe)
1. Scorch the World with Dragonfire
2. Knights
3. Ravaging Swarm
4. War of Attrition
As most here have said (although I came up with this independently):
Dragons
Knights
Ravaging Swarm
War of Attrition
1. Scorch
2. Knights
3. Ravaging Swarm
4. War of Attrition
1. Scorch the World with Dragonfire
2. Knights
3. Ravaging Swarm
4. War of Attrition
Love the site, love the idea.
Scorch the World with Dragonfire is better, I think.
The Knights are easily capable of beating the Battle Cry deck.
Infect > Proliferate, in this case. Ravaging Swarm.
War of Attrition wins this fight, easily.
Looking forward to more!
The first match up is going to be difficult to predict however it appears that Dragons has the better Ramp options.
Knights has the better creature curve, as much as I like the battle cries Deck its going to be Knights
deadpsreads too slow which is why Ravaging Swarm will win.
War of attrition is the clear winner. And that should give you pause as even though its a Precon, its also a competitive Event deck based on Caw Blade which means in all likelihood it will win overall. Are you sure you want to put Event decks in this?
Bottom line my choices:
Dragons
Knights
Raving Swarm
War of Attrition unless disqualified.
Dragons Duel Deck
Knights Duel Deck
Ravaging Swarm Intro Deck
War of Attrition Event Deck
can’t wait for the results=]
– Dragons (Scorch the World)
– Battle Cries
– Ravaging Swarm
– War of Attrition
Let’s see, this could be fun…

1- Scorch the World with Dragonfire
2- Knights
3- Ravaging Swarm

1- Scorch the world with dragonfire, archenemy decks are strong ones.
2- Knights, I just love them.
3- Ravaginf Swarm. Just a feeling on this one.
4- War of Attrition. Event decks are going to be the decks to beat this time.
1. Dragons

I look forward to the results 🙂
I’ve been checking out this site for quite some time now, but I’ve never posted. So, I might as well start with your brackets. WOOT! Ertai’s August Madness! Unfortunately I’m going to agree with the majority of the bloggers:
Dragonfire
Knights
Ravaging Swarm
War of Attrition
Wow. This is quite a consensus for the most part.
I still think Dragons will overcome the archenemy dragon. Otherwise, I agree with the rest.
I think it’ll be the event deck and knights in the following round for this division. The event deck will probably win, but I’d love knights too.
The event decks are the decks to beat. Consistency is huge, but luck of the draw may defeat them.
1. Scorch the World with Dragonfire
2. Knights Duel Deck
3. Ravaging Swarm
4. War of Attrition
Let’s see how this goes!
Hm, not very original judging by people before me, but:
1. Dragons (because of Dragon Claw :P)
2. Knights
3. Ravaging Swarm
4. War of Attrition
1. Scorch the world
2. Knights
3. Ravaging swarm
4. Attrition event deck
