8 Lions - boréal
IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?
Threat density.
I wanted to be able to play the strongest threats on curve and play all the best answers.
Close the game by protecting a threat with Countermagic or blowing up all the land with a fatty on the board.
​
Running counterspells in a traditional Erhnamgeddon deck gave me outs to the most powerful spells in Old School. Playing 18+ threats and really taxing their removal was something I didn't see much of unless it was in a white weenie or mono-green shell.
​
MEMORIES OF PLAYING IT?
Winning my streamed match at N00bcon 13.
Throwing down my Blue Blast that I won at Player's Ball in Chicago to stop a game-winning fireball will always be one of my greatest memories.

​MATCHUPS?
​City in a Bottle, The Abyss, and Moat are all problems. You have the tools to answer a couple of these but The Deck is 8 Lions worst match-up.
​
SIDEBOARD SUGGESTIONS?
I have cut the energy fluxes, don't play them.
Lots of options in white green blue.
Tranquility is something I have been having success with, killing a Copy Artifact and Abyss with the same card is great.
