Stolen Cards : ( = : )

so the other day my friend came over and told me that the deck that i was letting him borrow a RDW with 4 demigods and a foil figure of destiny was stolen or misplaced at the tournament last weekend. he was totally worried that i would be super pissed.

actually the opposite happened...i was completely forgiving of the situation. stuff happens you know? it was really cool being on the giving end of grace and mercy. what he didnt know was that i was a person who had already been given much grace and mercy (and continuing to receive!). he was pretty shocked that i wasnt upset at all. i was a little sad to have lost my complete set of demigods that i had been coveting for a long time, but the lesson learned was so much more important. i'm glad that God gave me the opportunity to give grace, it helps me to understand how much he gives each day!

one more thing, he felt so bad that bought me a bitterblossom and is going to give me a complete set this next pay day! how cool. what a hidden blessing. with grace and mercy comes blessings!

now on to my new B/W tokens deck. dlaab xay will not be the only one playing this deck!

josh out.

Nice! That's cool that your friend told you the truth. Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if someone lost my cards as well. Everything that I buy, I am willing to lend out. It's also cool that he's willing to repay you back. In my opinion, I'd rather have 4 Bitterblossums then 4 Demigods.

Best of luck with B/W Tokens. It's a deck with lots of ins and outs. When you play anytype of disruption (Thoughseize, Sculler, etc.) or control, you really have to know the metagame so that you choose the right card.

There's also the mana challenges of it as well. You have a Thoughseize in hand as well as Spectral Procession and a Windbrisk Heights. What do you do? Do you turn 1 Thoughtsize or try set off the Heights with the Spectral Procession. These are what I call fun challenges.

awesome... not that you lost your cards, but that you too will be playing bw tokens!!

it's seriously awesome. Probably, the most challenging deck that i've ever played, but also the most rewarding!!

-- also, fyi, if you don't have thoughtseize yet, keep it that way. They're really not necessary in the deck!

thumbs up!
