    Yeah that was awful. I was playing it right all day, just blanked from lack of sleep. Didn't matter through. If I had done it during his turn I would have lost.

    And Canada owns.

    Congrats on your top 8, maybe next time you won't get knocked out by a Canadian again.

    I see you're running a Duress in the SB again? I take it that thanks to Mystical Tutor, you can actually afford wasting a Tutor on a protection spell?

    Btw, why Wipe Away over, say Krosan Grip? Wipe Away has UU in it's cost, whereas with Grip, it has G.

    Wipeaway can bounce a land to get out of your hand for Infernal Tutor. Not to mention UU never matters, we play Cinq lands.

    Grats on the finish. It's always a pleasure to read combo reports, they're arguably the most enjoyables.
    About the report:

    Why did you keep this hand without a land? Is there a typo?

    It probably won't end until we have decks like Goyf Stax, Goyfbelcher, Goyfchantress, Vial Goyflins, Goyfstill, Goyf from the Loam, Faergoyf Stompy, Goyf-Pox, Goyf Confinement, 8-Land Goyfstompy, and the Dave Gearhart classic, Goyfidarity.
    And Ichgoyfrid, Red Deadgoyf, GES, 42landand4goyf.dec, Goyf Game and Ill-Gotten-Goyf-y Pop

    One of the Brainstorms is a Gemstone Mine. Sorry about that.

    Nice work, Bryant.

    I might be able to scrounge up an "out-of-bounds" chit to leave for Chicago in March and play some serious Magical cards once again. I hope I get the chance to massacre your dreams one more time.

    this may be a dumb rules question, but can you mystical during your upkeep and crack LED's and have mana during your draw step? I thought mana pools drained between upkeep/draw

    Nope, they empty at the end of your draw step, before your precombat main phase.

    Grats on the finish! Your deck was running so smooth, I'da been surprised if you missed the T8.

    It can when they are different cards. He Wished for one, then tutored for another.

    Great report, congrats on the finish and holy shit that deck must love you as much as you love it.

    EDIT: maybe I should consider foiling it too?
