Round 1: Goblins
Game 1: He wins die roll. I Tendrils for 10 on my turn. GG. Win.
Game 2: Belcher T3. GG. Win.
Kinda funny because in our table, there were 2 other Belchers. Unluckily, the other one was paired to Merfolk while the other one was paired to Faeries. Dodged 2 blue decks.
After Rd.1: 1-0
Round 2: Mono Black
Game 1: He wins die roll. He Hymns taking out 1 of 2 Burning Wish in my hand. I still managed to Empty the Warrens (ETW) for 16 though. Win.
Game 2: He plays Hymn again taking out the lone BWish. I pass the turn. He plays Nighthawk. ETW for 16 again. He plays Bob. I attack and pass turn. He takes 2 to Bob and casts Tombstalker. Turn comes back to me I attack and game is over. W
I was lucky enough to have avoided his Ratchet Bomb(s)
After Rd.2: 2-0
Round 3: Affinity
Game 1: I play and ETW for 16 which went all the way. W
Game 2: He lays down lots of artifact creatures while I ETW for 10 which was not enough. What I should have done was wait for another mana source and cast double ETW which could have netted me 24 tokens instead. He Berserks his Ornithopters twice and I lose. L
Game 3: I play and ETW for 10 again but he manages to outrace me. I was down to a top deck for the first time in the day. I had 8 tokens and he was down to 6 but he had 2 Ravagers, an Ornithopter with a Cranial Plating and many more. Id surely die on his next turn and need to draw a BWish. My board was a lone Taiga and a LED and my Hand was an ESG and a Desperate Ritual. I drew the card, placed it face down on the table, patted it hard, placed it in my hand, and it was a…………………………… BWish!!! Lol wtf! I tapped Taiga, removed ESG from game and cast Desperate Ritual. I played the card and Wished for Goblin War Strike for 8! W
After Rd.3: 3-0
Rd.4: Slivers
Game 1: I ETW for 10. Win
Game 2: We has a lot of counters. On to Game 3. Lose
Game 3: I managed to lay down 2 Xantid Swarms. I ETW for 10. Win
My only blue matchup of the day!
After Rd.4: 4-0
Rd.5: Zoo
Game 1: T1 belcher + LED (Land Grant, Rite of Flame, Desperate Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Belcher, LED). Didn’t even see his deck. Win
Game 2: He lands Canonist and Suppression Field. I destroy both via Hull Breach but it was too late. Lose
Game 3: ETW for 16 on turn 1. W
After Rd.5: 5-0
Rd. 6 and 7: ID; ID
Top 8
Quarterfinals: Ad Nauseum Tendrils (ANT)
Game 1: win die roll and play first casting 16 tokens via 3 Rite of Flames. He storm counts which got me worried. Nothing happened apparently. Win
Game 2: He plays first and Duress(es) my Chrome Mox but I had a Wish in my hand. I managed to ETW for 14. He plays Brainstorm and Ponder. We managed to get into turn 4 as he Chants with Kicker. On my turn I play Belcher and activate, he was down to 6 so the chances that the Goblin Charbelcher will go through is very very highand it did. W
Semis: Prize split
It was a good day overall. It was my first time to play the deck in a big event. Many thanks to my teammates and to my girlfriend who brought me some food and meds since I was not feeling well at that time. The Top 8 was in no particular order was:
ANT – 3
Zoo
MonoU Merfolk
Rock
White Weenie
Belcher (Me)
