I played Ichorid at the recent DHG tourney to a 3/4 split with Rodney Hannagin. I think there where 24 people anyways the list and the report:
the deck:
4 City of Brass
4 Gemstone Mine
3 Cephalid Coliseum
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Akroma, Angel of Wrath
1 River Kelpie
1 Flame Kin Zealot
4 Stinkweed Imp
4 Golgari Grave-Troll
2 Golgari Thug
4 Putrid Imp
3 Icorid
4 Narcomoeba
4 Bridge From bellow
3 Dread Return
3 Cabal therapy
3 Deep Analysis
4 Breakthrough
4 Careful Study
4 Chalice of the void
1 Pithing Needle
1 Ancient Grudge
4 Chain of vapor
4 leyline of the void
1 ray of revalation
Short report
round one vs. Dave's friend with pox
I looses the die roll and he starts off: swamp>ritual>ritual>entomb
...
I look at the card again just to make sure I am not being a jerk then call for the judge. He rules the card banned and we move on to game 2.
I mull and keep a hand with two careful studies and an imp. I think "what the hell Im on the draw i will see a dreadger eventually, right?"
" no says the man behind the curtain who's name is luck"
g3: land>lion's eye> breakthrough> win
(1;0;0 2;1;0)
round 2 vs. Dave (Dxfiler) with thrash
I mull and keep at 6 and decided to go ddd (draw, discard, dredge). everything was going to plan until i decided on the third turn that I would rather risk playing a putrid imp into a daze than win the game. (don't ask me why I don't think i was thinking clearly, it was probably Dave's voodoo black magic)
g2: I go land>careful study>draw into Pithing Needle>discard irrelevance I cant play the needle because i am taped out so I pass the turn.
He goes: waste my land>tormods
I decided that i would wait until i got a second land to play my needle but it never came because he had another waste. I did not play this match well at all :(
(1;1;0 2;2;0)
Round 3 vs. Mirrislegend with boros sleigh
g1: I overrun him with zombies turn 3
g2: He gets out some guys I cant deal with swords my akroma, and removes my bridges with mogg fanatic.
g3: I side out my antihate, and proceed to win turn 2.
(2;1;0 4;3;0)
Round 4 vs. Havi
This is probably my easiest match.
g1: don't remember much but I win with a large margin.
g2: He plays some critters I build up a large army of zombies and swing for the win.
I ask him after the game what he sided. He told me he did not have any hate in his board dedicated to ichorid.
(3;1;0 6;3;0)
Round 4 vs. belcher
we ID
(3;1;1 6;3;0)
Top 8
Round 1 vs. Bill (insertnamehere) elves
G1: I get a nuts hand and win turn two.
G2: I have not dredger but a butt load of draw spells. I must have played breakthrough for 1 three times. I had half of my library in the yard without any dreadgers. he drops a Garruk and I scoop.
G3: i draw the nuts again land>lion's eye> breakthrough>win
(4;1;1 8;4;0)
Top 4
one of us decides to play it out, so we get it on.
Round 1 vs. Derek (Tecknogeek5000) with GRw aggro loam.
g1: I win easily forget what the hand was but it was good.
g2: I side in my anti artifact hate and he sides in his leylines, gg.
g3: I side in my leylines and my chains. he opens with a leyline and I open with two. we go back and forth for a while and he finally gets down a crusher. I never find my chain> and he dreams killing both my land putting me out of the game.
(4;2;1 9;6;0)
I split the winnings of 3/4 with Rodney
Phew that took longer than I thought it would
Props:
The judge who I forget his name for mentioning the kelpie
Me for getting 3/4
Good matchups
Team Hammafist for inducting a new member

Slops:
Me for playing poorly all day
Ripta bus system for having too many obnoxious people
Ripta bus system for not knowing where the stops on their website are and dropping me off five miles away
