Bed Decks Palyer

On Thursday I finished 4th with Terrageddon in our LGS. The report is a bit bewildered, as I made no notes during games.
I took T-geddon for three reasons: a) I'd vomit the moment I'd touch a blue dual, b) I wanted to play my Savannahs before I'll sell them and c) just because.
Deckliszt:
// Lands
2 Forest
2 Plains
4 Windswept Heath
4 Wasteland
1 Brushland
3 Savannah
3 Secluded Steppe
3 Tranquil Thicket
//\\
// Creatures
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Mother of Runes
4 Weathered Wayfarer
4 Werebear
4 Terravore
2 Masticore
3 Mystic Enforcer
3 Exalted Angel
//\\
// Spells
3 Armageddon
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Sylvan Library
1 Armadillo Cloak
1 Aura Shards
//\\
// Sideboard
2 Choke
3 Tormod's Crypt
4 Orim's Chant
3 Reprisal
3 Krosan Grip
Some weird card choices:
Brushland ain't some savage tech, I lost one Savannah in a pub. Instead of Llanowars I opted for far more aggressive Fyndhorns – their daggerz! Masticore has body attached, while Jitte has ugly new frame. I was unwilling to buy Naturalizes, so KGrip was it, although...
Round 1: bye
Round 2: buddy Tom with NO RUG
g1: My Savannah->Fyndhorn (and then his turn2 Clique-peek) left Tom totally perplexed. I built Bear mana, which was a mistake: I should have played Terravore and then Geddoned, otoh I feared Daze and he had manadorks, too. But this way I was simply waiting for NO. He flied for five dmg twice and then on my nine life (with T-vore finally in play), Tom just ordered some big bad hydraboy.
sb: out one Geddon and something, in two Chokes. No Reprisals, though, as I didn't fear Goyfs, just NO-Prog. I should have sb-ed Orim’s Fog, maybe...
g2: I mulled to four and lost.
Round 3: a nice guy with D&T
g1: We started with some small dudes. Then I played Masticore, but he removed it with Fiend Hunter. He summoned two Mirran Crusaders, but when he attacked with them, I Swordsed the Hunter, blocked one Crusader with returned Masticore, then regenerated it while it ate the dude. Then I slowly overwhelmed him with threshed Enforcers, holding ground with Masticore.
sb: 3 Krosan Grips instead of Geddon, Werebear and something else.
g2: I opened with Wayfarer and since then, I couldn't lose - look up the UWT thread. I Wasted his land, but mostly we stared: his Crusader was beating into MoR, otoh he StPed my Masticore. Then he played Cataclysm, to which I responded with Wayfarer and found Savannah. Clysm resolved and left my bottlefield filled with Savannah, MoR and Library, while he kept just Crusader plus land. I drawn two cards (falling to ten life or so), played Savannah no.2, MoR no.2 and Wayfarer no.1 (or no.3, depends...) to have blockers and protectors, then on my next turn I played Terravore. It attacked for eight (Mirran ate two damage). Opponent played Pithing Creature naming Mother, but I drawn Geddon, washed out lands and killed him with 16/16 T-Rex.
End result: 2:1, 4th place
Pros:
- old borders only
- round 2 opponent
- round 3 opponent
- round 3 games
- SFMs set sold
Cons:
- round 1 opponent
- round 2 games
- KotR been printed too late to join the party
- prizes structure (Tarn, Jitte, Brainstorm, chocolate medal) that left me with empty hands
- the fact that the deck is very unforgiving of mistakes and hard to master
I think about teching the deck, keeping Savs for a while and having some more fun with the deck.
