Source Tournament #2: 2 Fast 2 Jelly

[Fry]

Lost horribly. 0-2

Game 1 on the play, mull to 6 with 2 Daretti in hand, scry 1 away, draw the 4th one a turn or two later, first turn Chalice on 1 only slowed him down.
Game 2 I have no hate and the only shot I have is if my Hellkite lives... Yeah that didn't happen...

Nice to chat briefly and go through the motions of a couple games. ^_^

[EviL668-2]

[bigwerdz]

TheArchitect got me 2-0. Good games and good luck in the finals!.

[TheArchitect]

I won 2-0 over Bigwerdz, he had meh hands and I could not have asked for much better opening 7s. I had early counterbalance+top both games.

[jrsthethird]

dsck hit Entreat all 3 games. I handled them game 1 and bashed with Vent/SOFI for the win, but couldn't beat the Angel army in games 2 or 3.

Mana problems were recurring throughout the whole tournament, I need to add at least another land next time. Stirring Wildwood?!

[dsck]

dsck 2-1 jrsthethird

G1 I mull to 6, keep 1 lander and bottom top card and miss land drop 2 turns while jrs has active bob. I somewhat catchup with entreat but then equipped b/w manland finishes me with SoFI on it.

G2 I keep 5 lands pierce + stp. I have option of piercing t1 therapy but decline because im greedy and he names stp. I clean the board with terminus and land keranos which takes over the game.

G3 Jrs has t1 therapy naming top but otherwise slow start with his next play being turn 3 Drana. I brainstorm into terminus + entreat and and those angels go all the way.

G2 and G3 my tempo was really off. I kinda wished you had Pierced my Therapy, because then my Bitterblossom would have landed turn 3. I jammed it because I wanted to remove the Pierce and had nothing else to do since I missed a land drop. If I do nothing you Pierce Souls or Truths or a Sword when I hit my third land and set me back another turn. Looking back I guess I could have sacced Bob to flashback Therapy so that BB would land. That might have changed things a bit and was probably the right play.

Anyway, 4th place is pretty good for a weird pile I threw together the night before. GGs everyone.

Finals

dsck 2-0 TheArchitect

G1 We durdle around first turns with cantrips and I try to go for turn 3 counterbalance with pierce back-up which gets FOW'd. Then he plays turn 4 counterbalance to which I have engineered explosives that I risk casting @ 2 and he misses with blind reveal. His EOT I blow it up, topdeck top and then proceed to find counterbalance and all my force of wills.

G2 I board out 4 terminus, 1 entreat (I left 1 in the deck), 2 stp, 2 plains. In: 2 pyro, 1 reb, 2 fluster, 2 clique, 1 venser, 1 counterspell

I think this game came down to him not finding top/counterbalance, being on the play and having to use force of will leaving him behind in resources. I also drew well and found my tops and counterbalances.


All my opponents were friendly and played well. Thank you jelly for organizing this tournament!

my matchups were:
Miracles (thearchitect) 2-0
Deadguy ale/rock (jrsthethird) 2-1
Burn (speedbump) 2-1
Aggro Loam (jelly) 0-2
Daretti MUD (fry) 1-2
Imperial Taxes (bosque) 2-1
BUG Delver (btm10) with True-name nemesises 2-1?
4c Delver (crush) 2-0

[TheArchitect]

Confirmed, dsck beat me 2-0 in the finals.

Game 1 I cast 3 brainstorms with fetches and put back 3 terminus, 2 Swords and a plains, and was not able to stick a top or CB.

Out: -4 Swords, -3 terminus, -1 Entreat, -2 Plains
In: +3 Blasts, +2 Wear/Tear, +2 Fluster, +3 Clique

Game 2 I had an ok hand of Wizards, lands, cantrips and jace, but did find any disruption besides FoW and did not find any top or CB till it was way too late.

He played very well and they were enjoyable games. The whole tournament has been fun, thank you for organizing it Jelly!

[Dragonslayer_90]

Congrats dsck! Woo-hoo! I was hoping one of the miracle players would take it down if it wasn't me. Muahahaha! Thanks Jelly for organizing this again

[iamajellydonut]

Woooah damn. That finished quickly.

Grats to dsck, and grats to TheArchitect for making it so far!

I'll update the thread info while I'm at work tomorrow, and I'll message the winners for prize selections once I can get home and provide pictures of the relevant cards.

[Minniehajj]

You gonna do another one soon? =D

[iamajellydonut]

You gonna do another one soon? =D

maaaybe.

I made a post a bit earlier about the logistics of continuing such an operation, and in a nutshell it says that if another one does happen, it won't be until after the holidays. I do have your name noted though. So if and when it does go down, I'll be sure to give you a poke. :V

In the meantime, I've been messaging the winners with their picks. The bastards at 5th-8th should all see their payout reflected in their Paypal wallets +1 investment dollar.

[Whitefaces]

Great fun to follow, as was last time. Nice work.

[Fry]

Still beat you, who you calling bastard?

[bigwerdz]

That's jelly's way to motivate you. Last time I was a bastard at 5th though 8th. This time I was 4th. See it works...

I was one of the handful of 9ths, got a little better this time around!

[iamajellydonut]

Still beat you, who you calling bastard?

Fun fact: When I was a wee little kid, about the same age that you start getting curious enough to find out that "bitch" means "female dog", I discovered that "bastard" meant "child born out of wedlock". Which led to me proudly declaring "I'm a bastard!" to every human being I met for as long as that novelty held my attention. My mother was of course thrilled.

[snorlaxcom]

Damn, forgot about this. Any plans for another event?
