Then we got into a Two-Headed Giant Match with Soul Sisters and Allies vs UWR Control and Affinity. We played three games, and managed to go 1-2. One of the games was a total wash, they beat us with poison from an Inkmoth Nexus. The second game, we won off the back of Serra Ascendant and hordes of Allies. The last game was pretty close, but in the end their Cranial Plating'd Vault Skirge got through. UWR took a back seat, only being there to counter our win conditions or our removal. In retrospect we probably should have gone with Soul Sisters and Melira Pod, but hey, it was fun!
Hopefully next week we get enough players for an event.
Post-script by Jordan:
I should point out something about the Bant Allies deck. The original deck concept came from Zendikar-Scars of Mirrodin Standard, and most of the list ported in directly with very minor additions from the Modern pool. The list also lacks removal of any way, shape, or form, and decided to play the Xenograft/Turntimber Ranger combo which in retrospect, is nearly impossible to execute when you only set the list at 21 lands. Watch this space in the future to see how I develop the deck from its current shell into something that may resemble a Tier-2 Modern list.
