PT Hollywood - No Love For Faeries
I was glad to see that Faeries didn’t win PT: Hollywood (see the top 8 decklists here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgevent/pthol08/top8decks). First, it should quiet all those prone to panic who were calling for the banning of Bitterblossom or other components of the Faerie deck. Second, I want to play Faeries in Standard for awhile so hopefully the perceived “failure” of the deck in Hollywood will lead people to bring some of that hate out of their sideboard (or even their main deck, where some of it ended up) and free the skies for my little 1/1 tokens to do their thing.
We sold out of most of the key rare Faerie deck components on Saturday, long before the top 8 was settled. Apparently some people are still planning on playing Faeries at Regionals. It will be interesting to see if the level of hate we saw in Hollywood plays out across the rest of the country.
