Cure For My Blue(Red)'s!

So, I was bored and depressed, tonight, and something awesome happened that cheered me up!  I will now share!

Warning, if you don't play Magic: The Gathering you wont get the specifics, but its entertaining nonetheless.

I logged into Magic Online to see if it needed an update and found a bunch of phantom points.  So I hopped into a Phantom Legacy Cube Draft.  I draft mono red and have a deck with Kiln Fiend, Chandras Phoenix, Guttersnipe, Koth of The Hammer, Chandra Ablaze, Grim Lavamancer and literally Seventeen burn spells.  I Blast, Burn, Bolt, Blow-Up, and Blaze my way to the final round fairly easily.  This is an abbreviated log of the final match. 

With my - commentary -.

 - GAME 1 - 

12:45 AM Magicpokey: sorry, bit of lag this time of night

 - I make a misplay, costing me a vital creature. -

12:54 AM Magicpokey: The Thunder Ninja Dragon Hellkite should totally be a card in the next UN-set

 - GAME 2 - 

 - Near the end of the game, he has me dead on board.  At the end of his turn, I hit him with a burn spell bringing him to 3.  He thinks he has it in the bag. -

1:04 AM Magicpokey: this is actually my first cube draft, most of my magic is in paper

 - he casts Spellskite, neutering most of my burn and protecting his Flametongue Kavu, which is beating me down. - 

1:07 AM TheWhiteKnight: spellskite MVP

1:07 AM Magicpokey: yep, just waiting on a char now

1:07 AM Magicpokey: or 2 more lands

 - Then I topdeck and cast Arc Trail, targeting his kavu for 2 and Spellskite for 1, this makes mtgo kinda bug out -

It was really entertaining, and cheered me up immensely!

I guess setting a bunch of things on fire with Magic (for fun AND profit, I came in 2nd after all) was just the cap this day needed.

Goodnight all!
