First time playing this build that is a blend of classic 8rack and a Waste Not deck I play in Historic.
Lurrus Mardu 2-0 (OA 1-0)
Won the die roll, played first.
G1
Pithing Needle on Bauble
He had all bad draws
He just managed to kill a Liliana of the veil with Dauthi.
Killed with Constructs
G2
He played blood moon and nerfed my sagas.
I kept hitting with Parasite and played a couple of racks and he conceded.
I didn’t even play the deck as it was meant to be.
This was more of a non-game, but murderous rider resolved a couple of Dauthi that were giving him too many cards.
Temur Eldrazi 2-1 (OA 2-0)
Lost the die roll, went on the draw.
G1
T2 Thoughtknot seer ripped my hand.
He attacked me with it pumped by The Royal Scions and he later killed my chump blockers with Domri’s ability.
I was getting back a bit of control but reality smasher made me 4 damage at 5 and I lost to my bitterblossom.
G2
T1 thoughtseize on Ignoble hierarch which was the only nonland card he had.
Needled Domri, killed Royal Scions with Murderous Rides.
Turtled early behind Bridge and controlled the game with big Lili.
Killed him with bitterblossom and liliana’s rack effect.
G3
Same thing as G2.
Needled Domri
Played big lili and protected her with a couple of murderous riders.
I managed to make a couple of constructs 4/4 and started hitting him, he traded 1 TKS with one of my constructs.
Finally, I played bridge and then Waste Not and from there every turn got me closer to victory as he tried keeping to avoid damage from big lili, but I got value from waste not.
I even made the liliana’s ultimate just for fun.
Final 6 damages with liliana and 3 faeries.
I’m 100% sure that the classic list would have been blown out in this matchup. Too many big creatures to deal with.
I was quite nervous G3 even if I was controlling everything simply because the opponent had a very explosive deck and that was my very first test of this deck.
Knowing how powerful and rounded it is allowed me to approach the third match with more confidence.
Mardu Stoneforge 1-2 (OA 2-1)
Won the die roll
These matches have been probably the most grinded I ever had (and that was the same for my opponent who’s one that usually 3-0s with ease, in fact, he's currently first in the league).
This report can’t render how intense and interactive we’ve both been.
G1
I resolved several threaths like dauthi, ragavan, kroxa, and even my own lili of the veil cast

Alrighty, so it turns out rewriting Season 4 is a bit trickier than I expected. While Season 1 and 3 of the original show are exceptional television even without the fix, seasons 2 and 4 are considerably more flawed, requiring a bit more of an overhaul to be on par with the other seasons, hence why I'm forced to split Part 3 in two. Now, I'm aware that many of the rougher elements of this season were a direct consequence of Nickelodeon pulling funding and the showrunners having to make some tough choices, so this fix will be under the assumption the showrunners weren't burdened by these same limitations. With all that being said, sorry about the ungodly length, I swear I'm trying my best to keep these succinct, but let's dive right in.
Rewriting Kuvira
In the original show we are told over and over again how much of a hero Kuvira is by the characters following her, but the trouble is that we are never given a chance to believe it before Opal calls Kuvira a conquerer and she bullies that Governor into signing her contract. Kuvira's ideology stands in direct opposition to the Red Lotus (again, our primary villain for the series), so let’s allow her to initially be perceived as the "iron"-willed hero we’re constantly told she is, only for her to later become a dictator as she accumulates power. We'll do this a few different ways, but for now let's get into the plot.
Setting the Stage for the Great Uniter
Now, for the most part the first few episodes of this new Season 3 will be largely the same with a only a few minor fixes. We’ll get to the Korra stuff in a second, let’s just focus on everyone else for now:
- Asami has her grand opening for the railway in Ba Sing Se, not Republic City. This helps to immediately ground us firmly in the Earth Kingdom (the central conflict of this season) and show us firsthand how well Kuvira is turning things around, but also has the added benefit of Prince Wu's presence making a bit more sense, especially when we have the coronation scene later.
Next we'll tweak Kuvira's introduction scene.
- First, in addition to Varrick, Boli
Hi all, I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I’m looking for a 2 seater sports car as a second car and a bit of a toy. I’m currently torn between a 1.6 Elise and an F-Type. My heart wants the lotus but practicality is telling me to get the jag for the ease of use and not looking like an idiot at work (I’m 6”2’ so getting in and out has been difficult for me). Has anyone had both of these and could give a decent opinion on the practicalities of these as a semi-daily drive ?
