Modest Monday: Theros sealed practice, conclusion

So, last week I showed you the sealed pool I had. Well, this is the deck I ultimately ended up with


I honestly felt like going into red was a trap. I felt like White might be a good color to go with black. I had two scourgemarks and a erebo's emissary and white had good heroic cards, blue also looked strong with the god sea's revenge and curse of the swine. But I just went with this because it seemed more aggressive and stormbreath dragon looks like it can just close games on its own. However, I want you guys to note that even though I have more red cards, I really feel like black is the strongest color in this pool.
Traveler's amulet seems really loose and bad, but oh well. It's what I went with. One thing I quickly discovered was that I like constructing paper decks over doing them on MTGO. There is a lot less space to spread out your cards, etc.

So round 1, I played against someone playing simic splash black

Here was the results of game 1:

As you can see, my RB aggro start was good.

Game 2 wasn't so good, I just couldnt' deal with prognostic sphinx


So game 3, I decided to take a risk and go transformative

Curse of the swine did so much work!!! It was a super board sweep with X=4

 There you can see my opponent decides not to block my triton hunter, I discard two creatures and have just enough to drain with gray merchant.

So round 2, I had the perfect curve my opponent couldn't deal with in game 1:

Game 2 was close, I was holding most of the cards the entire game but my opponent decided to get mad and say I was lucky:

I mean most of those cards were cards I had in my hand the entire game, like the gray merchant etc. I ember swallow'd early because I was getting mana flooded and was stuck on 4 lands post ember swallower for a long time. I mean it's not like he had his own bombs of gray merchant as well or nighthowler... Oh well

So I played out round 3. However, I forgot to take screenshots as my second round was short and I left for a while, when I came back a few minutes had gone by and I was nervous! The guy had a white red deck that was heroic centric and had lots of combat tricks!

However, here is the results:


Theros sealed practice

So I decided to go onto MTGO and play a theros 6 pack sealed (in preperation for GP Sacramento right?)
Anyway, here is the sealed pool I opened


How would you have built this? Comment below! Think this is a good sealed pool, bad? Any and all comments!

Let me know in the comments! Next time I will show what I built and how well I did!
