Here is my fascinating tournament report on how I split with Machinus in the finals of day 2 with R/W Vial Goblins.
Round 1 Vs Parcher playing Miracle Gro
Game 1: I open a hand with lackey, Siege-gang, plateau, swords, wasteland, Piledriver, warchief. So I go 1st turn lackey and he doesn’t have a counter. He goes island portent go. I connect with lackey drop gang-bang and driver. He says go and I win.
Game 2: I still don’t know what he is playing so I assume he is playing standard gro and I ask him and he says no so I sideboard how I would normally sideboard and we start the game. He goes land go and so do I. Then he plays vinelasher kudzu and I nearly jump out of my chair and say “kudzu”. The game goes on I find out he is playing miracle gro. He has fatal next turn but with the help of siege-gang I deal fatal damage and win.
1-0
Round 2 Vs MeatballsinPasta Playing Mantle Affinity
Game 1: He drops most of his hand turn 1 and I do not like my chances but with the help of 2 swords, 2 incinerators and my one of goblin tinkerer I stabilize. When I am about to win the game with tinkerer and incinerator I make the biggest play mistake ever that costs me the game. I lose to fling when I am at 6.
Game 2: I play lackey go he plays mantle, thopter go. I swords thopter and hit with lackey and drop siege-gang. GG from there.
Game 3: I have a slow hand and he has 2 needle 1 on vial and 1 on tinkerer. I lose from fling damage.
1-1
Round 3 Vs _________ Playing R/G Natural Order
Game 1: He goes bird go. I play vial and pass. He plays land wall of roots. I play land and say go he plays natural order and puts in phantom Nishoba. I don’t draw swords and I lose.
Game 2: I play lackey, and he plays bird. I fanatic the bird and waste his land and connect with lackey to drop siege-gang. GG from there.
Game 3: I don’t remember this game very much all I remember is that he plays Inkdrik Stomphowler and I overwhelm him with goblins.
2-1
Round 4 Vs nitewolf9 playing Red Death
Game1: I keep a one land, lackey, siege-gang, swords hand. He bolts lackey and sinks my land. I do not draw another one.
Game 2: I play first turn lackey and he connects. I drop siege-gang and he can’t stop him and his boys.
Game 3: We both keep solid hands but he infests 5 goblins and I start losing to his anurid. Then I drop a lackey and he chain lightning’s lackey and then I chain it back to anurid because he forgot I could do that. Then I waste and port his red sources, then I drop many goblins and I win.
3-1
Round 5 Vs Nick Trudeau playing 4 color landstill (He is luckier then I am and a better player not a good combo. He is the guy who top 4ed at legacy worlds.)
Game 1: He gets very lucky and draws 3 wastelands and draws crucible. He also resolves 3 P.deeds and 3 FOF. Good fucking Game!
Game 2: Before the game starts I summon Sexy Rector to return to me my Didgeridoo and I slap it on the table.
I play lackey and he plays Island. Then I swing with lackey, he tries to stifle then I pyroblast stifle, I drop siege-gang. Then I swing with my team and drop another siege-gang. Good Fucking game (sweet revenge)
Game 3: We keep solid hands and we both stall on 3 lands. I get him to 2 and drop a vial. Then time is up in the round. I get vial to 3 when I have siege-gang commander in hand.
3-1-1
Round 6 Vs Shaheen Soorani Playing U/W control
Game 1: We both have solid hands and I get him to 4. He vengences the board away and he drop Exalted angel. I do not draw swords and I lose.
Game 2: I resolve lackey and he hits. I drop siege gang and keep him off 4 lands and I win.
Game 3: Same thing as game 2.
4-1-1
Top8 Vs Evil Roopey playing Miracle Gro
Game 1: I am on the defensive in the beginning sine he has 2 watchwolfs early. I deal with both of them and then Roopey drops a Jotun Grunt. I play ringleader and pass and then Roopey draws a card which makes him sacrifice the grunt. I proceed to overwhelm him and win.
Game 2: I over commit to the board and he Crusades my board away. Jitte plus watch wolf equals Good Game.
Game 3: I play vial he plays island. Then I play plateau go, and he plays Quirian Dryad. I waste his land and swords his dryad and I win from there.
5-1-1
Top4 Vs__________ playing Iggy Pop
Game1: He mulligan’s to 4, and I get the third turn win with lackey, siege-gang, piledriver.
Game 2: He mulligan’s to 6. I play vial, Crypt turn 1, then I play Pillar turn 2. He never draws a black source through 2 brainstorms and I win 3 turns later.
5-1-1
Top2 I Drop to Machinus and I win 30 duals.
