Ok, now you know what I played. So, the day before the tournament, I picked up Mike Keller (Hollywood), Phil Sagnay (Snorlaxcom) and Jonathan White from dreamwizards(Shitty store, except for chris harten, whos cool). We made the 6 hour drive with the help of Mike keeping me awake with his endless banter. And deciding whether he should play white green stax or mono green stax. We named the deck as we sat in pennsylvania traffic and finally got to the daze inn at about 11:30.
Now for the tournament.
Round 1 Tariq Zahzam with U/W/R/b landstill
Game 1: I really don't think that tariq could have built a version of landstill that would be worse for me. I got a bunch of guys out after having survival countered, and then he wraths and starts dominating me.
Game 2: I get a bunch of quick beats, and he gets an early wrath, I respond with a natural order and when he doesnt have the wrath, we're off to game 3.
Game 3: I get a survival countered and he gets fire/ice along with swords into standstill. At that point he's just going through the motions.
0-1
Round 2 ??? Merfolk
Game 1: I keep a 1 land hand with queer ranger and llanowar elves, but he has a wasteland and gets lots of big fishies before I can do anything.
Game 2: I mull to 5 and slump, it seems I'll be out early. But I land a couple dudes early and I land natural order somehow and take the game.
Game 3: Its his turn to keep a 1 lander, and by turn 3 I have 3 lords and a few other dorks on the table and I get the win for a round I shouldn't have.
1-1
Round 3 Drew Levin (Ansset) It's the fear
Game 1: I get a survival to stick and the card advantage slowly brings him down, as he failed to find a deed.
Game 2: I manage to land a few lords which he picks off with his plethora of removal. He gets a plague down, which wipes my board, and next turn he gets a second, being the dumbass that I am, I didnt bring in grip, so we march off to the next game.
Game 3: I get a survival going and get lots of dudes, but then he deeds away my board. The next turn, he lands a plague and I frown. My next draw is 1 of the 3 lords left in my deck, and I swing for 1. He draws and says go, I draw, and slam the natural order I drew for thewin. Go me!!!
2-1
Round 4 ??? Goblins
Game 1: he gets a bunch of vials down but doesn have many creatures. I meanwhile have 3 lords down by turn 4, and just keep turning them sideways until he dies.
Game 2: I get a few guys then land a natural order. The turn before he dies though, He drops double piledriver and goblin king...Really?
( I had a taiga out)
Game 3: I get a survival and start tutoring up mana men. Turn 4 I have 3 archdruid, a priest, and a queer ranger, so I make over 30 mana, tutor up packmaster, make about 10 wolves and kill him. It pleased me.
3-1
Round 5 David Gearhart 5 color Thresh
Game 1:I get lots of guys and beat him to about 6. He draws a lot of goyfs though, and a shackles to take my only lord, we play draw go for a while, until I draw a packmaster with double priest on the table and kill him.
Game 2: I land a turn 2 choke, then a turn 3 survival, and hes done.
4-1
Round 6 Alix Hatfield Zoo
Game 1: I mull to five and have 1 land and a mana guy. He kills the mana guy and I do nothing for the next 4 turns and die.
Game 2: I mull to 5 again and keep almost the same hand, with the same result.
Final 4-2
Making it to the last round and not being allowed to play sucks ass. Changes to the deck would be to take out teeg and put in absolute law. I love the way the deck plays, it just mulligans very, very badly.
