Waste Management Operation was the tech I used before Ashurs came out. But Ashurs are better. Way better. Not "a Mercedes versus a Toyota" better, but "A Mercedes versus a rusted bicycle with a flat tire" better.

Indeed.
Except when facing multiple master phase action Ashur decks. But then again you need to streamline and can't atke every possibility into account before losing focus.

Against other multiple master phase action Ashur decks, I have an advantage: the Imbued resistance to hand jams.

That means I can patiently gather Ashurs in my hand and wait for the right moment.

For example, during the endgame of the finals, I gathered three Ashurs in my hand and then slammed them all to the table in two turns. Suck it, Nana Buruku!


In this tournament I played my Ashur deck against several opponents who also used Ashurs, which added to the fun. I think that in an environment like that, the Ashurs are working like they were designed to. I love this metagame shift.

You sure that you approved it? Tournament ain't showing up in player ratings.
If you check the event from calendar it says: "The archon is submitted to your NC for the approval."

Maybe you just submitted it but didn't approve, or there's some error in archon upload system. Earlier when archon got approved it showed up in ratings and during next night of that the ratings were calculated to take effect of newly added tournament results.

Just wondering...

I will check if I have an XL-shirt left.

You got it dead right -goes to show what can happen when you're tired and way busy.

Thank you for the eagle eyes!
