    These all seem to be slight favorites, but most of the matches should be pretty close.

    Also, I’m curious what I would need to do to get my predictions in for next week. I’ll be out of town and away from a computer, but I’d like to still make them.

        Sunday through Friday, finally getting back Friday evening. I just figured I’d shoot you an email or something with them, so as to interfere the least.

    My brother-in-law got really into Magic last year, and he got the crazy idea to make a ton of decks, then have a tourney of his own with just those decks. He made (brace for it) 128 different, unique decks. There are combo decks, weenie decks, burn decks, discard decks, control decks, card draw decks, life gain decks… He made a bracket for it, and let friends and family members fill it out (I think he had to use 6 pt. type, haha). It’s huge and it’s going to take us forever to play all the games…

    And yet, all that tourney madness somehow still can’t stop me from getting excited for this tourney. Go figure, I’m a tourney junkie I guess. 🙂 Here are my picks:

    1: Hope’s Crusaders
    2: Unraveling Mind
    3: Rebels Unite
    4: Endless March

    1. Hope’s Crusaders- Charge of the Boros is going to dismantle itself against Hope’s Crusaders with that radiance effect working against it.
    2. Unraveling Mind- Simic Mutology is a weak sauce deck that I own. Decent art, fun concept. Not an effective deck.
    3. Rebels Unite- I own Izzet and it is a useless deck. Cool art, fun to play, it never wins. Not even when I put in more Wee Dragonauts.
    4. World Aflame- Stone Rain and Demolish? Are you kidding me? This one could go all the way.

    Game 2:Unraveling Mind graft is fun but it just is not nearly as good as this one

    Game 3:Rebels Unite rebels are just awesome

    Game 4:Endless March going to be an interesting match but i’m just going to trust my gut

    Gah! I almost missed this. Anyway:

    1. Boros.
    2. Mind.
    3. Izzet.
    4. Aflame.

    My gut got me the overall win last time, so no going against it now.

    1) Hope’s Crusaders. I just love knights!
    2) Unraveling Mind. If the engine start it’s a really efficient deck.
    3) Rebels Unite. Do you noticed I really like Time Spiral block?
    4) Endless March. I just don’t feel like a 40 card deck as a challenged against a full 60 one.
