Enchantress

Game 1

Record 0-1

Round 3

Against:
2 Land Belcher

First game he has a bad draw I stomp him down

Second game he goes of perfectly for game win

Third game

I play 2 Piledrivers turn 4 i vial in a matron for a 3rd piledriver and play it
pass turn. He goes off I cry a little inside when he starts flipping gets to 19 flips a....Bayou last land in his deck

I proceed to swing for the win

Epic win for me, I will never forget this game in my life. Most likely neither will he.

Record 1-1

Round 3

Against

I believe it was white stacks

game 1 he gets a magus of the moat out I have 2 vials he Armageddon LOL.

I play some gobos and swing for the win.

Game 2

He doesn't play much of anything to stop me I swing in before he can for the win

Record 2-1

Round 4

He is playing I believe the rock

game 1

I have lots of gobos and am swinging away I ended up getting deeded down to a siege gang and sac 3 other gobos to bring him to 2 life.

I ask a judge for a ruling on sacing siege to itself since he has another deed for the win judge lets me and I win game 1

game 2

My opponent has bob in play and is about to win he keeps removing my critters

judge is standing behind me watching, he fails to show a draw with bob I don't even catch it but the judge issues him a game loss.

I am kinda sad on this because I hate to win based on a rules violation. I prefer to beat my opponent down.

Record 3-1

FINAL 4 for me


match 1

he is playing some deck with tombstalker

both games he gets me with tombstalker I lose and end up with 4th place.

Against:
Enchantress

Game 1

I Scoop to Moat

If you mean literally scoop to Moat (as opposed to Moat gave him time to find an actual kill) then you shouldn't have. Basically you try to get Aether Vial on 5, Matron for a Gang-banger with a ton of Goblins and mana in play, and proceed to do like 10 damage straight to his face in a single turn. Scooping to Solitary Confinement + Squee, sure, scooping to Moat, no.

Otherwise congrats on a Top 4 finish.

[SuperBean]

Yeah.. You play Sharpshooter, and if your playing him, playing a sacrifice outlet is always good, and that pretty much beats Moat.

[Citrus-God]

The Enchantress player might have gotten Solitary Confinement out.

[citanul]

judge is standing behind me watching, he fails to show a draw with bob I don't even catch it but the judge issues him a game loss.

That's a weird ruling unless the forgetting was done intentionally or the rule enforcement was high. Normally there is a warning involved and the next card that would be drawn is considered the Confidant flip. Just because there is no way to figure out which card he drew.

[dakkon]

I think a missed trigger is a warning whereas failure to reveal is a game loss. It gets a bit dicey how one interprets these things. If the player with DC didn't announce his actions and just put a card into his hand, he can argue that he had missed the confidant trigger and that he drew the card for his turn. If however he put a card in his hand during his upkeep and drew another card for the turn, then he failed to reveal with confidant and it would be a game loss.

I'm not sure how intent plays into this. Let's say your opponent has some knowledge of the top card of his deck via Brainstorm or SDT and then "misses" a confidant trigger in a damage race, I wonder what a judge would say in that situation.

[Dan Turner]

he drew 2 cards revealing neither

Round 3

Against

I believe it was white stacks

game 1 he gets a magus of the moat out I have 2 vials he Armageddon LOL.

I play some gobos and swing for the win.

So... how did you swing w/the magus out?

[Dan Turner]

So... how did you swing w/the magus out?

he armegeddon cant pay for his magus lol

[dre4m]

he armegeddon cant pay for his magus lol

This still doesn't make any sense... Unless it was a Magus of the Tabernacle, not Moat.
