So I played Eva Green at the 1k event this past weekend in NY. The journey up there can be sufficiently summarized in Dave Gearhart's tournament report, but just for the record I did not jinx anything. We get tons of sleep the night before the tournament and everything is looking pretty good. Ichorid and survival is expected to show up in reasonable numbers, so I change the deck just a bit to accomodate this:
Eva Green does Europe:
4 Tombstalker
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Nantuko Shade
4 Hypnotic Specter
4 Dark Ritual
4 Thoughtseize
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Sinkhole
4 Snuff Out
3 Pithing Needle (was great actually)
4 Wasteland
4 Polluted Delta
4 Bloodstained Mire
3 Bayou
6 Swamp
Board:
4 Engineered Plague
4 Choke
4 Leyline of the Void
3 Extirpate (terrible...do not use)
So, right before the tournament starts, Jesse Krieger comes up to me and says "Dan, you need to play a turn 1 Tombstalker today. And when you do it, before you drop it, stand up and call my name and say "this is for you!"".
Round 1 vs Goblins:
My opening 7:
fetch, swamp, dark ritual, dark ritual, tombstalker, tarmogoyf, pithing needle

Wtf? Um.....keep?
I lose the die roll and my opponent goes mountain vial go. I go fetch, rit, rit, STAND UP AND CALL "JESSE! JESSE KRIEGER! JESSE! JESSE KRIEGER! JESSE KRIEGER! JESSE KRIEGER! JESSE KRIEGER! JESSE KRIEGER! JESSE KRIEGER!" for about 20 seconds to Jesse, who is sitting 10 feet away. He doesn't turn around, and to avoid a judge intervention I sit down and play the stalker. He is answered by warren wierding, but I still win because Eva Green is retarded against goblins. Post sideboard I win because that deck still can't beat plague.
The rest of the day is fucked because Jesse ruined my Mojo by not turning around even though he FUCKING CALLED MY FIRST PLAY OF THE DAY. I get rolled by ichorid and then retarded TES hands the next 2 rounds, and end the day at like 4-3. Thanks, Jesse Krieger.
Props:
- Jesse Krieger for calling my turn 1 tombstalker on the first game of the day
- Me, for ripping a supid 7 card hand with turn 1 tombstalker and fulfilling the prophecy
Slops:
- Jesse Kriger for not turning around
Fucking Jesse Kriger. Shit.
