I still don't understand why you drew, seeing how everything carried over. Only one other person had close to your amount of points and in the draw bracket.
Congrats!!!

He top 32'd, taking away $400.

Mana maze was there originally to deal with High tide combo, he was probably too lazy to replace it.

He owns 2 tabernacle, so I don't think it was a money issue. Are you really not running Tabernacle, Mike?

He's on to day 2. 7-2 record losing to junk and that scoop

Mchainmail ends up taking down a grinder last night, I think he'll be hard pressed not to make day 2.

Update: 6-0 with 3 byes, beating UR burn, Storm combo, and Bant

I don't find null rod to be a lock piece in the merfolk matchup. I'd board it in, but once bridge comes down, I could care less. Do you feel the same way?

With merfolk running MMS instead of Spell pierce, It is easier to resolve intuition?

Well, why not? A deck like Team America will certainly be more menacing with mistep, but decks without other viable ways of interacting will face the same problems as decks with only force as a...

No need to start a flame war...

Then I apologize for misquoting you and leave it at that.

Of course I am an angry combo player. But I'm one that has learned to beat mchainmail despite his 7-9 card sideboard plan.

He could have mulliganed. He took the risk that a one land ponder hand would get himself more lands, and an opposing waste wouldn't have been a problem. It was a loose keep considering the number of...

Edit: Fixed

You won't have a chance unless you devote 10 slots to it, or are playing against a bad pilot. Even with 10 slots, you still shouldn't have a chance. E tutor gives you the best options for post board...

He isn't saying that he sets the lock up from turn one in 3 minutes, but rather once it is set up, the game ends in 3 minutes

You generally board out factory? I find it to be your most consistant wincon, right after concession. Are you assuming you won the first game?

I would consider trading with cats or chumping goyf...

Only if you hit tabernacle quickly. Otherwise, I like dredge/landstill's chances, particularly dredge.

I agree on all of your other points, but what fast aggro deck does this have problems with? Mono red goblins is the only thing that might come to mind, if moon is in their SB

Sure, but you sacrifice your end game, not having the tutors in place of the tabernacles. Sure you spend time tutoring for it should it help you, but then you don't have to see it for the rest of the...

Sure its not ideal with manabond, but the ability to find EE, tabernacle, wasteland, academy ruins (slaver kill), chasm is really disgusting. Getting 1uu is not always easy.
In what way have you...

Life from the Loam, Manabond, Glacial Chasm, Tolaria West would like to have a word with you outside

Running four is silly. you can stall long enough with manlands and maze. While great, running 4 tabernacle is 2 more than any list could profit from.
You tend beat most aggro, you tend beat most...

Like they exist :rolleyes: Tabernacle might as well have been printed in Italian

Besides the fact that tabernacle is $200 and legendary? Sometimes you go the beatdown with factory, sometimes you need wasteland, ruins is nice too, maze slows their clock, cephalid coloseum makes...

The man still isn't satisfied with it. We are trying to convince him not to, but beta lands are next, as is a Summer 4th basic? Yeah
