Newbie Mixes start at 8 PM on a Friday, and from what I understand scrims and league matches are also typically held at night. Is there anything for people to play on like, 3 PM on a Saturday?
For those who don't know, Magic Online has a mode called Tournament Practice. It's ostensibly supposed to be for testing decks before taking them into a league or challenge, but a lot of people use the mode for playing off-beat strategies in a low-stakes environment.
I was in the mood to play some burn, so I built this cheap Mono Red Burn list and took it into Tournament Practice. I went against some pretty neat decks. One was a UW Caw-Go deck running four copies of [[Squadron Hawk]], the other was a Mono-White deck built around Gideon planeswalkers. Both games were fun and were pretty close. I'm thinking I'll try some other cheap strategies in the future like Infect, Stompy, or Bogles.
If you've never played the Tournament Practice queue on Magic Online, I recommend checking it out. Buy a few tickets (or use Cardhoarder's free rental program) and build something you like. It's a lot of fun.
