Went 5-0-2 today at a ~100 man event
2 PiF, 15 Lands, 6 discard, 1 DP, EtW main
SB:
2 Decay
1 Chain
2 Hurkyls
1 Grudge
2 Massacre
Grinded a bunch of Legacy this weekend at GP Amsterdam, and maybe some more tommorow. Went a terrible 2-2 and 2-2 on Friday with a 1 PiF/1 AdN/1 EtW/1 ToA list (some bad matches and luck, but also...
Sweet :D
Also played my first post-ban event, but it was just a local 5 rounder without a top-8. Went 4-1 losing to UWR Blade (clunky hand once and a rare loss to wasteland in the other).
Was...
Played and won a 26 person tournament today with roughly the same list I won the Dutch Open with two months ago:
14 Lands
17 Fast Mana (1 Mox)
13 Cantrips (1 Top)
8 Business (AdN, Empty, 1 PiF)...
I think Doomsday is a much better place for 8 probes. SDT + Probe/SW means DD is lethal without anything else (assuming storm is sufficient). Double Probe will also get there, but storm is very...
Good point. It seems they fetched Trop early for some reason (with the Strand), then played the Swamp (since they cast a discard spell). And this turn they fetched pre-BS to clean up cards from top...
Won a 78 player event today with Chrome mox, adn, EtW, and 2 Decay main. Decays didnt really show up. Beat Infect, DnT, BR Reanimator, Eldrazi, Shardless, Aluren and Elves (SF Guy scooped after...
Sweet, always like watching your vids! In the first round I noticed that you keep a lot more Ponders than I would (would have shipped it g1, also the 1st one g2, probably kept the 2nd g2). Might also...
Only once preboard. But I cast it three times in preboard games (once as a desperation attempt through a Thalia but not for enough, and in the final where I was quite favored after resolving it but...
Decided to test a Doomsday sb last weekend (4 Decay, 1 Green dual, 3 DoN, 1 Massacre, 6 DD slots with EtW+AdN, 14 Lands and a Chrome Mox main) for a change. Both losses to the same guy (Noloam for...
Somewhat mediocre tournament for me als well. 4-2 trial and 6-3 main event (played chalice decks 5 times in the main..). Nice to meet you too!
Both options won against D&T, but after the match we agreed that Empty was perhaps a bit safer, unless you expect multiple sweepers. If they keep StP in they can beat it with 2nd land, mystic, plow...
Decided to play a double PiF + Empty main list in a 16 player event for a change:
UR Delver 2-0 1-0
Death 'n Taxes 2-0 2-0
Shardless 2-0 3-0
Miracles 0-2 3-1 (chose the wrong option g1, could...
I would probably mulligan Swamp, DR, Duress, CT, LED, 2 Cantrips. I especially dislike the hand on the play, you'll be doing very little until turn-3/4 too often. But if there was a probe among the...
The 3rd edition of the Dutch Open Series was today, finished 3rd to continue a strong streak of 3rd and 1st before this.
Round-1: Lands 2-1 (AdN fizzles g1, and I lose after not finding business...
I'll repeat a point made by Jona earlier in this topic: Start with a double PiF list. You'll learn better habits that way, even if they're harder to play.
Slightly dissapointing GP for me, although it was great to see Togores win it all. Well deserved.
My GP:
Friday side event: 3-1
R1: DnT 2-0 1-0
R2: Eldrazi 2-1 2-0
R3: Miracles 0-2 2-1...
Got my byes for Prague as well :). Played with 1 DP, 1 EtW, 1 Rain of Filth, 6 discard, 15 lands, 1 Preordain, 1 Top main. Most interesting SB choice was the 2nd Tendrils I guess.
Round-1: Dark...
Sure, with the disclaimer that I don't suggest anyone playing UBw as I feel the discard lists are simply better. And the same goes for cutting green, although it is possible to run green in this list...
I decided to run a UBw list at a small event today, as it has been ages, and I've always been a chant fan. 7 chants main, 1 Top, 2 DP, 1 EtW. Postboard 3 Serenity (for the MUD player, and Eldrazi),...
The IT->PN line seems to have ~3% to hit (hit PiF in a ponder + hit one of 6 LED/CRit in a ponder and some extra small cases like Pondering into a cantrip into probe into pif and the post-pif probe...
I had 2 Abrupt Decay in the deck as well for Teeg.
As for what I would have done, maybe something like this:
t1 Land, Shaman, Pass.
t1 Land, Preordain, Pass.
Turn-2: Land and Shaman on the...
I played a local this weekend, and inspired by this tread I decided to play with 2 Islands 1 Swamp for a change (haven't played 3 basics since early 2013 I think). Cut the two green lands for the 9th...
I can't stand the mirror match at all, either someone wins quickly or someone wins the lategame topdeck war. Sure, there are interesting spots on turn-1 & 2, especially involving discard, but it's...
