It was almost a month of no magic and 3 weeks of not buying anything Magic related. With the way things have been going the first quarter of the year had been busy for everyone and had simply had no time to play or at least meet to play.

Yo had been able to make time and it was the end of the playing drought as Pir and Toothy went to square off with the much feared Jeleva , Scourge of Nephalia.

Having recently heard that Yo retired his Kruphix Simic deck it seemed that my own new Simic deck wanted some revenge. #JusticeforKruphix. And that was done via 2 wins in  games. The lone win for Jeleva was one of those singularly consistent combos of Demonic Consultation and Laboratory Maniac.

The Simic via Pir and Toothy just brute forced it's way. An Acidic Slime destroyed a Blue Black land on Jeleva's side which made the Grixis deck a Mono blue one! And despite the threats of Counters and Mass Bounce the Simic Monsters kept on appearing one by one. 

I did not have enough time to go for a Simic Ascendancy like I wanted since both of my favorite Hydra's showed up. The Khalni and Primordial  Hydra just went ahead and made the team heavy with counters and withered Yo's life total to zero in no time.

It was a short 3 rounds of game play but satisfying since it was the first games in almost a month. And Justice for Kruphix has been served.
