Summary

What is Block Rock

Block Rock is a long descendant of Sol Malka's "The Rock". Garruk Relentless Buy and Sever the Bloodline Buy are the new lynchpins of this new version. Those two card are proberly the best cards currently in the format. Block Rock is a mid-range deck that consists of a creature disruption element, and effectively costed creatures around the four and five spot Bloodgift Demon Buy and Wolfir Silverheart Buy. The aim of the deck is to be at least 50/50 against all-matchups in the first game. After that, the SB is usually heavily-used to bring the matchup anywhere from 55/45 to 70/30. The idea is to go into every matchup with a shot at winning it.

Match Reports

Game 1 - 01/05/12 -Birthing Pod - (i know its not block but it was a good test)
MVC - Tragic Slip Buy - With them setting up the morbid rule for me, this hit hard.

I ran out a very quick Vorapede Buy that hit almost every turn due to the amount of removal i was running and never allowing them to 'pod' up

Game 2 - 02/05/12 - Selfmill/dredge
MVC - Sever the bloodline

A very well balanced game, removal again saved me. Fiend Hunter Buy countered, there wanting to put creatures in the graveyard. Sever the Bloodline Buy took away 2 Kessig Cagebreakers Buy before they hurt and then flashbacked to remove 2 Ghoultree Buy allowing bloodgift demon to hit home
