i pity the manaramp people. Expecting matchup against mono-red but most likely slammed into lark instead.

I am very happy for swans (and very happy that adrianK piloted it). It is a solid deck and i am still surprised why not many people play it in FNMs.

yucks to elves. thank god they didn't win.

sadly, as a mana ramp player, i met a lark deck even in round 1. after incurring that autoloss, i was then slammed into the great white wall of turbofog, and then meeting lark again in round 3. talk about bad pairings eh..haha. out of the 9 reveillark decks present, i met 2 in the first constructed session itself, instead of a single sligh deck, with a 20+ player count. in the end, i went 2-4 on constructed (beating kithkins and sligh on the lower end, crashing out on back-to-back land screw to ELVES) and 4-2 on drafts. fairly disappointing

If u know Lark is ur weakness then board in more anti lark sideboard then u will laugh by that time...

haha lark is also known as autoloss to the mana ramp deck. the sideboard only turns the matchup from impossible to playable
