So last weekend, Me, Jesse Krieger (Krieger), and Dave Price (Quicksilver), all decided to head up to jupiter games in Vestal for the Bazaar tournament. It was a long drive, filled with stupid road signs. We reach vestal at about 1:00, and check into a motel. We stop at Ihop the next morning, then we're off to the tournament.
Round 1: Micheal Melnick/Goyf Sligh
G1: I keep a hand without survival but lots of beaters. He quickly drops me to ten, with his burn, then runs out of steam. He manages to get rid of my goyf with a fanatic post combat, and I drop a masticore, which wrecks his board. the turn before masticore kills him though, he draws keldon marauders to chump. the next turn he gets another one, which puts me at 2 when it dies. He then slams a chain lightning onto the table for his turn, ending the whole debacle.
G2: I have a survival in my hand, and get spike feeder going on turn 4. I never drop below 12 life.
G3: He mulls, and I get survival going, and swarm him with large angry goyfs.
Round 2:That kid you all hate/Moon Thresh
G1: I start with a mulligan into a slightly keepable hand sans disruption. he plays turn 1 top. I fetch a land and pass. He drops counterbalance, and passes. I attempt to cast survival, which he blindly hits with goyf off counterbalance, he then has his lock going, and kills me shortly thereafter with a goyf.
G2: I mull yet again, and keep a decent hand. I land a turn 2 survival, but I'm stuck on 3 lands, meanwhile he plays first turn goose, second turn goyf, third turn goyf, kill you on turn 6 by accident.
Round 3:Adam Phillips/Tombstone
G1: I resolve an early survival, and a bunch of tarmagoyfs are able to beat him to death.
G2: I get a decent hand with lots of disruption and a goyf, after I take a few choice cards from his hand, I get no more lands, and my goyf is killed. He gets a tombstalker which beats my head in after a turn or two.
G3: I keep a hand with 2 land goyf shriekmaw, and wish. I go through the top 10 cards of my library without seeing another land.
Round 4:Tariq Zahzam/ U/W/b landstill
G1: The game is most easily summarized by the fact that he countered 6 key spells in the first 10 turns, then killed me with factory.
G2: I thoughtsieze, take his force and land a survival, which slowly grinds him down.
G3: I believe he chained 3 standstills, while I managed to resolve my survival. He got 3 relic of progenitus going, making survival almost dead, and then gets a large decree, along with factories to kill me.
Round 5:Robert Cusick/ Goblins
G1: I get a late survival going, but its not enough to keep his army of goblins from overunning me.
G2: I get down 2 E. plagues, and he fails to find a Krosan grip.
G3: I get a quick survival, allowing me to deal with all of his threats, and kill him with 7/8 goyfs.
So the main event went horrible, I decided I would try the Mana Drain side event.
Round 1:BYE
How this happened, I have no idea, but I'll take it I guess.
Round 2: Adam Phillips/Tombstone
G1: I'm able to get a survival going early, and goyfs make short work of him.
G2: This game goes on for awhile. I was able to establish a bit of control with a goyf, then supreme rule with a second. His doran wasn't big enough to even trade with them, he rips an explosives off the top though, and kills my goyfs, and applies beats. I return the favor by dropping the survival in my hand, and going crazy. The nex turn, I am able to kill his entire side with various removal, and then kill him with random creatures.
Round 3: ???/Affinity
G1: I keep a hand without survival, but with masticore, rofellos, and quirion ranger. He manages to get me pretty low, but I masticore his disciples, and get tin street on a crucial turn, and manage to pull it out.
G2: I get double grip for his early threats, and get survival going after that. I eventually kill him with 9 attacking creatures, 3 of which are goyfs.
Round 4: Connor ?/Trinket painter stone.
G1: I get an early survival, which lets me get tin street for his combo pieces. I then beat him up with large goyfs.
G2: I have control early, and I tap out to get a wickerbough elder out to prevent him from accidentally killing me. He obligingly draws a swords for wickerbough, and then draws the second combo piece, and, well, accidentally kills me.
G3: I get survival going, and have lots of men early on, but he is threatening to combo. but I manage to draw a grip, and have witnesses for it for the rest of the game.
So even though the main event was terrible, I managed to salvage the day with an english mana drain.
Props:

-Jesse for slaughtering bitches and winning yourself a Bay-zar.
-Red roof inn, for being cheap, and more comfortable than my car.
Slops:

-scrubbing against landstill.
-Callasso, just because.
