Round 1 Slay, playing Rabid wombat (Deck Check #1)
omg this match-up is annoying. i can't lose but it takes sooo long to win.
Game 1 i lose the roll. After 15 minutes we get our decks back and he informs me that this is his first tournement, which is news to me. the early game is just alot of eternal dragon(x4) cycling and intuition/FoFing. i slow roll a shackles to take his dragon which he keeps dringing back but he just wing shards it. he akroma's vengences and kills my shackles but i'm holding the other. i cunning wish for corpse dance. i think i daned five times this game, as he draws 4x wing shards. after a while he replays a dragon so i take it, dance and swing he shards for 4 i counter 3 copys and kill him with tog. god i hate this match, 10 minutes left in the round.
-3 mana leak +3 duress
Game 2 this game is MUCH less annoying as apparently he boards in the man plan vs. me. turn 3 he plays a razor golem... so i shackle it and it goes the distance. hahaha ah, good times.
2-0
1-0
Round 2 Dude, playing Ravager affinity
Game 1 i lose the roll again. he mulligans to 5 my hand suchs but it doesn't matter as he draws like 7 land, on a side note i don't see a single green land this game.
+3 duress +1 deed -2 logic -2 FoF
Game 2 i think this game we both mull to 6 my hand is much better this game i counter every threat except 1x diciple which i shackle then activate deed dealing 8 damage to him, factory seals the deal.
4-0
2-0
Round 3 Guy other than Bryant, playing TES
Game 1 my opening hand has bouble force of will he trys to go off on his second(?) turn and doesn't recover from there.
+4 duress -1 LftL -1 FoF -2 shackles, my boarding is weird because i had never played this match before, i figured it out before i played bryant.
Game 2 he has an early non-turn 1 swarm which cover's me in bees for a turn. i play my 4th land and say go he enter's the attack step i wish for demise and kill his swarm, bluffing force, which i don't have by the way. he has an internal struggle for like 5 minutes before saying go, i draw force off the top and have 3 counterspells up for next turn when he tries to go off. after a while i ask how many counterspells do i need to show for him to scoop. "3" so i show him 5 and a FoF and he scoops.
6-0
3-0
Round 4 David Price, playing RGBSA
damn it, double damn it i hate playing other guys from rochester, so annoying.
Game 1i win the roll!! he mulls to 6 and my hand is retarded. for how good my hand is his first play of the game is turn 4 anger!!! wow, dave what were you thinking when you kept this hand. i win easily.
+2 duress +1 Deed -1 LftL -1 wish -1 logic
Game 2 he beats me up to around 4 but I deed, then counter every important spell of his for the rest of the game.
8-0
4-0
Round 5 Zach Tartell, playing enchantress, and bringing sexy back i might add.
I.D.
Round 6 Jeff Folinus, playing RIT.Deck, if you know what i mean
i get paired down but we figure its best to draw, but jeff ends up getting
9th :frown: 4th to 9th... wow
TOP 8
Round 1 James Mankins, playing Fairy stompy
Game 1 i win the roll. his first turn play it mox diamond tomb sea drake, i force it, he forces back...ok. his turn 2 is sea drake #2, oki untap and play vedalken shackles he procedes to swing one drake into the other and he loses to shackles. -1 FoF +1 Deed
Game 2 its close to game 1 except that i deed his board once or twice and and he never feels like equiping his SoFI to his guys. Notably he dies to one swing from his own efreet after paying the upkeep for it a million times + tomb.
after this match i hear that Anwar lost :smile:, he was my only bad matchup in the top 8 so i am psyched...atog, haha bad puns...
TOP 4Brandon Lepage with 4c Threshold
Game 1 i honestly don't remember much about this game except that i win decisively useing the combo of life from the loam + wasteland Vs. 4c.deck.
+2 duress +1 Deed -2 logic -1 wish
Game 2 his quick beats put me at a low enough life before i deed for his 3(?) bolts to finish me off.
Game 3 this game he has 3 needles but i wish for naturalize and kill the one nameing deed, that and LftL put the game far from his reach.
TOP 2 Bryant Cook, playing TES
Game 1 i lose the roll. he goes turn 1 empty for 10, i force a copy. play a factory block a couple times brainstorm, fetch, AK but no deed :rolleyes: what ever.
+4 Duress +1 Deed -2 FoF -2 shackles -1 wish
Game 2 i force a swarm, he infernals for a second tendrils, at which point i'm thinking, O shit. i have 1 counterspell in hand and i am at 17 uh oh.
when he goes for the first tendrils its for 8 so i take it like a child molester in prison. the second for 12 i counterspell a copy then intuition for 3 counterspell and counter another copy and go to 1 life. then AFTER he tries to off i start to draw counterspells. He wishes for a weapon, but not the skill to weild it, as i counter all his exceleration and a tog go's friggan insane and eats him. phew.
Game 3 i might have mulkled this game, i can't remember. my hand sucks, and i'm on the draw. i have counterspell, duress. but his turn 1 play is swarm go... :cry: to top it off in the last game of the tornement i decide miss play with duress taking infernal tutor over LED, though it turns out it didn't matter as he brainstorms into another LED. i lose turn 2.
haha second place. way to go ray, another awesome tournement.

5. Zach for top8ing 3 tournements in a row with enchantress

2. me for sucking in the finals
3. Bryant for covering me in bee's... damn bees
4. tiebreakers for screwing over jeff
5. the mexican place we went after the tournement, when i ask for a cheese burger mustard only and them giving me a sub with meat tomato and letuce...
