Guildpact

Guildpact prerelease this weekend. i did not attend. it looks like a solid set, been making some type 2 decks today to see how it goes.

deck 1: 8 putrefy deck
4 putrefy
4 mortify
4 jitte

4 birds
4 elves of deep shadow
4 hyppie
4 woodelves
2 heirarch
2 kokusho
3 arashi
2 ink eyes
2 north tree

some lands (mostly forest type dual lands)

deck 2: WWbob
4 dark confidant
3 isamaru
4 savannah lions
4 leonine skyhunter
3 kami of ancient law
2 suntail hawk
2 lantern kami

4 mortify
4 jitte
4 last gasp
2 otherworldly journy
2 cruel edict

some lands

deck 3: GRw (suggested by nathan)
4 elves
3 birds
4 kird ape
4 watchwolf
4 burningtree shaman
4 heirarch
4 jitte
4 helix
4 char
3 otherworldly journey

some lands (include 2 skargg pits thingy)

somethoughts:
GRw loses to 8 putrefy deck
8 Putrefy deck is fairly inconsistant with its explosiveness, but has lots of good sideboard stuff
WWbob is fun, agressive, but not very disruptive and doesnt have any reach. maybe needs anthem or hokori or something.

thoughts on format:
jitte is really good, i think you have to play it if you are aggro at all (ww sometimes runs suppression field, but i cant see not playing jitte when you have more creatures and yours have evasion)
UR decks get better with new set (obv) so lookout for Wildfire, URzatron, and UR LD Magnivore.

i got a few pals q'd for Honolulu so ill be helping them test, if you want to help let me know.
