Preamble
To make up for the suckyness of Legacy, we decided to meet and play some Highlander the day before the tournament - as this EPIC nerdery went on for quite some time (like until 4am when Stefan Czolk got fed up with it), Manuel Heiler and I decided to just sleep-over at Stefans place. Harrald Herrlich decided to return to his place to profit of his full fridge (which was in contrast to Stefan's well... very empty fridge) - food being tech and such.
The following morning we pick up Harrald, Thomas can't attend because he's ill, Marius Laber is on some random Chess Championship and will therefore miss out too.
After arriving at the site, I meet Adan to give him a decklist to copy and Felix Brehn Andraschko to talk smack.
This is what Team SPOD ended up playing:
Harrald Locutus Herrlich - Counterbalance-Tog-Landstill-hybrid
Manuel derHeiler Heiler - BG The Rock
Stefan SpiritoftheWretch Czolk - UBw Ad Nauseam
Daniel Adan Scherer - Not Quite Balanced /w
Clemens Der_imaginäre_Freund Wolff - Not Quite Balanced /w

This (http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dgbs8px8_4hcj6v6g7&hl=en) page will be kept updated with the newest list.
Explanation of some choices:
1 Enlightened Tutor over 2nd Back to Basics: choice made to increase flexibility of the deck - tutor is pretty potent as 1off because, unlike some of the tutor targets you'd max. on if you wouldn't be playing him, he is never dead: he helps assembling the vital CounterTop combination, acts as removal, gets out broken stuff like Back to Basics and gives you the possiblility to play random bullets in your sideboard. Due to the amount of cantrips this deck plays, you'll find 1-2offs much more efficiently than most decks so that the perceived 'randomness' of the tutor targets doesn't reduce the deck's consistency. Also, most of the targets are pretty good on their own too making them okay draws in many situations further reducing any 'randomness' they might add to the deck: Oblivion Ring is just Swords to Plowshares n°5, Back to Basics is another tool for the control matchups and therefore acts as Pithing Needle n°3 etc..
1 Portent: played to support the lower than average land-count.
Short Report:
Round 1 vs. Fabian Danner with Mono Blue Control
I'm on the play.
I drop an early Tarmogoyf, produce Card Quality like a madman via multiple Ponders and a Predict. Soon after, a Mongoose joins Mr. T, the two bring him down to 10 before he fins an Engineered Explosives which he sets to come into play with one charge counter. He kills the Mongoose, drops a Vedalken Shackles with I counter - next game.
-3 Daze
-1 Back to Basics
+2 Krosan Grip
+1 Trygon Predator
+1 Jotun Grunt
He drops a first turn Sensei's Divining Top, I drop a first turn Nimble Mongoose. The Mongoose is followed by a second turn Tarmogoyf which he Spell Snares and Extirpates. He proceeds to drop a Meddling Mage which I respond to by Krosan Griping his SdT because I had two Grips which he knew due to Extirpate showing him my hand and didn't want the Mage to produce infinite Virtual Card Advantage. Soon after I reach Threshold, force through a Pithing Needle on Engineered Explosives and he just can't handle the Mongoose which proceeds to go all the way.
2:0
1-0-0 (2:0)
Round 2 vs. Mario Mittag with RGb Aggro Loam
We get deck-checked which is terribly annoying since it delays us getting food after the round for like 5 at least minutes.
I'm on the draw.
I keep a colour intensive hand and therefore have to fetch some Duals. To not get completely screwed over by nasty Tempest lands, I drop a blind Pithing Needle on Wasteland. I resolve a Counterbalance and keep it hitting his Life from the Loams and Burning Wishes via Ponders and Brainstorms. I drop a Tarmogoyf and a Nimble Mongoose. He drops a Terravore which I send farming. He doesn't have any gas left, next game.
-1 Nimble Mongoose (weaker than all his guys)
-1 Mystic Enforcer (too clunky)
-2 Daze
-2 Predict
-2 Pithing Needle
-1 Enlightened Tutor
+4 Hydroblast
+1 Blue Elemental Blast
+2 Trygon Predator
+2 Jotun Grunt
He keeps the greedy '1land, plenty o' good stuff' hand and gets punished for that.
2:0
2-0-0 (4:0)
50 minutes break to get some food. I order a random Schnitzel not having eaten anything since ages - screw those University goers for never having any food at home!
Round 3 vs. Sven Götze with RB Goblins
I'm on the draw.
He keeps an extremely slow hand (slow as in 'I don't do anything before turn3'), walks his first few threats into Dazes, his Vial into my Needle, his Wort into my Oblivion Ring and his lifetotal into my Mystic Enforcer.
-4 Counterbalance
-3 Sensei's Divining Top
-1 Back to Basics
+4 Hydroblast
+1 Blue Elemental Blast
+2 Trygon Predator
+1 Dueling Grounds
He gets a Lackey start which I handle via Swords to Plowshares. He then plays a Cabal Therapy on me and sees double Tarmogoyf. I savagely find a Brainstorm in my Ponder to fizzle his flashbacked Therapy on the next turn. He proceeds to drop a Warchief which I send farming. I drop double Tarmogoyf and proceed to Hydroblast everything he plays until he's dead.
2:0
3-0-0 (6:0)
Round 4 vs. Florian Hering with RGb Aggro Loam
I've seen this guy before - in Nuremberg... he was in a car of three who travelled all the way from Würzburg to Hassloch - mad props for that.
I'm on the play.
I play a Flooded Strand, crack it to get Tropical Island, Ponder and he tells me to brain no more over my top3 cards and reveals a Shattering Spree in his hand, calls the judge and takes his game-loss like a man. That's what I call true sportsmanship.
-2 Daze
-2 Pithing Needle
-2 Nimble Mongoose
-2 Predict
+3 Hydroblast
+1 Blue Elemental Blast
+2 Jotun Grunt
+2 Trygon Predator
Slight variation to the first boarding plan: Mystic Enforcer stays in to have a better ability to race.
He keeps another one of these greedy hands, misses his first land drop, I drop a Nimble Mongoose and a Counterbalance, Portent him - his top 3 cards are no lands either... another easy win, and yet he takes his like a man saying that he was rather lucky until now so that it would be perfectly fine to get screwed in one round.
2:0
4-0-0 (8:0)
Round 5 vs. Florian Scholz with RGb Aggro Loam
I'm on the draw.
My opponent mulligans. Twice. He leads with Wasteland, go. I have an extremely solid hand featuring some cantrips, two fetchlands, Counterbalance and Daze. My opponent starts with land, go. I follow up with Top. My opponent rips a land from the top and plays Chalice which I daze. I cantrip into Back to Basics and another fetchland. He draws another land, plays Chalice for 1. I drop Counterbalance. He drops Engineered Explosives and therewith gets rid of my Top. I follow up with Back to Basics which locks him out of the game since he tapped out the turn earlier in order to get Explosives around my Balance. The game proceeds to be a massive stall with him not being to do anything and with me only drawing things that cost one mana. Nevertheless I drop a second Counterbalance in order to have a better chance to hit his stuff without Top (using Fetchlands and Predict). Eventually, he drops an Eternal Witness which starts to beat me down to 3 life - at that point I savagely rip a Tarmogoyf... finally. He plays Burning Wish, which I led resolve. He takes Reverent Silence which puts me back ahead on life - I force it and the game is mine since I can now race his Witness with my 6/7 Tarmogoyf.
-2 Nimble Mongoose
-2 Daze
-2 Pithing Needle
-2 Predict
+3 Hydroblast
+1 Blue Elemental Blast
+2 Trygon Predator
+2 Jotun Grunt
He gets an early Goyf which I handle via Swords to Plowshares in order to get some damage in with my Nimble Mongoose. I don't draw any fetchlands and am therefore extremely vulnerable to Wastelands. In fact, I have to Force of Will his Life from the Loam once to be able to play Jotun Grunt on the next turn. The later will then proceed to completely rape Aggro Loam on his own. As he should. I support him by destroying the only relevant critter he draws (i.e. a Countryside Crusher).
2:0
5-0-0 (10:0)
Round 6 vs. (didn't write name down because it was fucking late) with Aggro Loam
I'm on the draw.
My notes started to suck because it was royally late (at least for a tournament) - screw tournaments starting with infinite delay because some people can't be bothered to show up on time. Also, playing against the same deck four (!) times is tiring.
I produce massive card quality and am therefore able to handle every single one of his blockers, ignoring his entire Loam engine due to massive Basic-Advantage (tm) and completely racing Aggro Loam, which is, overall, just a little clunky sometimes.
-2 Nimble Mongoose
-2 Daze
-2 Pithing Needle
-2 Predict
+2 Hydroblast
+1 Blue Elemental Blast
+2 Trygon Predator
+2 Jotun Grunt
+1 Engineered Explosives
My notes only indicate that a single Tarmogoyf was enough to go all the way - apparently he didn't resolve any Chalice of the Void which is, as I may state after that day, the only way you can loose this matchup.
2:0
6-0-0 (12:0)
Other Tournament Stuff
I come in first (duh!).
The prices were: (in order of pick from the price-pool)
1st - 1 Foil Flooded Strand
2nd - 1 Underground Sea (Revised, not mint)
3rd - 2 Badland (Unlimited, engl.)
4th - 1 Bayou
5th - 2 Pithing Needle
6th - 1 Wrath of God (Portal)
7th - 1 Foil City of Brass (8th)
8th - 1 Foil Stroke of Genius
Postlude
Performance of the rest of Team SPOD :
3-3-0 Stefan
1-2-0 Adan (drop after round 3)
2-4-0 Harrald
4-1-1 Heiler *7th*
(results out of memory, might differ and be subject to change)
We actually had planned to continue the EPIC Highlander session after the tournament, me not having to go to school on the following day due to me having to go to Medical Examination for the compulsory military service - the plan did not work though as Heiler wanted to 'get some sleep'... jeesh, one has enough time to sleep when one's dead. For serial.
My plan for the medical examination was to get a Tier1 status (which only like 10% of the German youth have [totally not sure on the statistics though]) to then be able to say 'hey suckers, look, I'm fitter than 90% of the Germans despite being a nerd and you won't get me to join the army' as I'm conscientiously objecting to the service.
That didn't work either because I'm apparently 5cm too short to be employed in the 'Wachbataillon' (which only do Parades and such) while fitting all other criteria for all other services making me T2... damn.
Props:
The deck for being something like the most consistent deck in the format
Florian Hering for being good sports
People for buying stuff out of my binder
Slops:
Stefan for being uber when playing Dirty Combo (not)
Adan for sucking with Threshold, seriously
People for not buying stuff out of my binder
