Hi. I played Minotaurs (sneak and show with didgeridoo) at GP Seattle.
These rounds are from memory, so I may have gotten rounds mixed up. I wasn't planning on doing the Legacy GP, as I had class until late thursday night and would be flying in early friday, as well as being very well prepared for the Standard GP (11-4 finish, huzzah). However, with 2 byes I was just able to get there in time. A friend of mine had lent me minotaurs to borrow for the GP, so I was off to see how well I could do.
Round 1/2 -- Byes
Round 3 -- Grixis delver, lost 1-2. Game 1 I keep a threat heavy hand, but he has double daze and FoW. Game 2 I cast a turn 1 blood moon that gets forced, turn 2 I play a didgeridoo. I had decided not to run 4 boros battleshaper in my sideboard, so I hadto resolve an artificial evolution. I do, and he dies to my emrakul.
Game 3 my hand is super weak but it has redundant threats. I go for emrakul and he draws diabolic edict, then surgicals show and tell.
Round 4 -- Grixis Delver, lost 0-2. Basically the same thing, but game 2 I get a t1 didgeridoo and draw that Hazoret that should have been battleshaper, which would have won the game.
Round 5 -- lost 1-2 BR reanimator. Game 1 I Force his reanimate and then put in emrakul off of didgeridoo. Game 2 he puts in a turn 1 tidespout and then a griselbrand. Game 3 we durdle for a bunch, but he resolves a reanimate on Blazing Archon. Eventuall he lands an iona on blue and I lose.
Round 6 -- 2-1 vs Steel Stompy. I get an early show and tell and he puts in lodestone, I put in emrakul. Game 2 we go on for a long time, but I kept bricking on finding show and tell or sneak attack. I have 13 mana in play, but don't draw my last city/tomb before he kills me. He's at 4 from his tombs. Game 3 is another grindy game, but his only lands are 2 ancient tombs so he gets to 4 before a hazoret finishes him off.
Round 7 -- 1-2 vs Omnitell. Game 1 I win by casting show and tell, hoping he doesn't have anything. He puts in omniscience and I put in emrakul. His hand is all blanks. Game 2 he does show and tell puts in omniscience into Eladamri's Call. HE was empty handed and I'm once again reminded of how good Boros Battleshaper s. Game 3 I keep a hand without emrakul or griselbrand, and try to resolve sneak attacks and didgeridoos. He counters all of them, and kills me with a show and tell.
Round 8 -- 2-0 vs Grixis Delver. Game 1 I resolve didgeridoo and cast artificial evolution into his FoW. Then I play show and tell and win. Game 2 I get him with abrade on deathrite shaman into blood moon.
