Lands:18
4 Ancient Tomb
4 City of Traitors
10 Mountain
Creatures:20
4 Rakdos Pit Dragon
4 Arc-Slogger
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Gathan Raiders
4 Magus of the Moon
Noncreature Spells:22
4 Seething Song
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Chrome Mox
3 Blood Moon
3 Umezawa's Jitte
3 Trinisphere
1 Sword of Fire & Ice
Sideboard:15
4 Pithing Needle
3 Powder Keg
3 Tormod's Crypt
1 Trinisphere
3 Pyroclasm
1 Blood Moon
Anyways... now to the 5 rounds of swiss.
Round 1: Cephalid Breakfast (Sorry I didn't right down your name.)
Game 1: All I remember is that when I was at 1 Life he Forces my Magus of the Moon removing another FOW instead of removing the Brainstorm or Lim-Dul's Vault in his hand and then I drop a Rakdos Pit Dragon which he should have been able to force too. Next turn I have hellbent and 4 Red sources on the board so I Jump, pump and swing for lethal.
Game 2: I have Chalice for 1, Trinisphere, Umezawa's Jitte and Blood Moon on the board But can't find a creature all game except for 1 Gathan Raiders that he forced. He beats me down with 2 Narcomoeba and Nomad-En Kor.
Game 3: Turn 1 Chrome Mox, Ancient Tomb, seething song Blood Moon and then Chalice for 1. Turn 2 Trinisphere. Turn 4 Rakdos Pit Dragon. Turn 5 Song off the top win.
1-0-0
Round 2: Loam Control (Force of Will)
Game 1: I'm beating him with Slogger until he finds Glacial Clasm. Then he takes himself down to 2 with the Clasm and when he sacs it I Kill him via Slogger's ability.
Game 2: Magus of the Moon Beats until he devastating Dreams for 3 I knock all his lands from his hand on the random discard. I then drop another mountain (I already have 2 Chrome Mox) and then another MOTM. next turn Seething Song Slogger. The turn after I Swing again and then Seething Song 8 to the face via Slogger.
2-0-0
Round 3: Counterbalance Naught, Rodney (Roodmistah)
Were waiting on a pizza so we take a Draw and go eat.
2-0-1
Round 4: White Thresh, Aaron (B4R0N)
Game 1: 2x Mongoose 1 Goyf with Force and Daze backup.... enough said.
Game 2: I have Powder Keg set at 1&2, Tormod's Crypt, Chalice @ 1, Trinisphere and Rakdos Pit Dragon out in like 4 turns... yeah...
Game 3: He's Mana Screwed and I have Trinisphere and Chalice for 1. Then I drop a Rakdos Pit Dragon and it goes all the way.
3-0-1
Round 5: Aluren {Stormtroopers}, Jeff Kowalczyk
We're both in with a draw so we take 1.
3-0-2
I was 4th at the end of the swiss.
----------------------------------
Now to the Top 8
Top 8: Aluren {Stormtroopers}, Jeff Kowalczyk Again
Game 1: I have the game with 3-Sphere, Slogger, and Rakdos Pit Dragon. But I make a math mistake during combat and Slogger his Spike Feeder going down to 0 cards in Library after combat he's at 2 life... dough! He passes his turn and I deck.
Game 2: I have double Slogger, Magus of the Moon and Trinisphere. Slogger beats until the eventual headshot for the win.
Game 3: I have two 3-Sphere stopping his aluren and being resilent to Stern Proctor bounce. Arc-Slogger goes all the way.
Top 4: Faerie Stompy, Scott Blumenthal (Vstheworld)
Game 1:Turn 1 Ancient tomb, Chrome Mox, Seething Song, Arc-Slogger. It then becomes a race between Slogger and Juggernaut that ends with me topdecking a 2nd red source and frying his naut.
Game 2: He ends up with like 4 flyers and a Jitte to my Magus of the Moon and Gathan Raiders....
Game 3: Beats with MOTM and Slogger for a little while. He is forced to be aggressive with 2 Serendib Efreets because of his low life and their upkeep cost after he knocks himself down enough I throw 2 at the face via Slogger and Serendibs kill him during his upkeep.
Top 2: Counter-Top Naught, Rodney Hannigan (Roodmistah)
We're both on the same team and want different prizes so we split.
Props:
-Everyone who came for making the day fun and very competitive
-Roob and Craig for hooking me up with 3 Powder Kegs right before the Tourney.
-Roob for proving that although Random, Mirri IS a good kill factor in MBA in the current legacy environment.
-Team Hammafist for Grabbing three top 8 Spots and taking first/second.
-Eric for hosting a great tournament
-Trinisphere for being draw almost every game.
-B4R0N for making me laugh during a game of magic more than anyone I've ever played.
-And last but not least Rakdos Pit Dragon for helping me pull like 5 games out of my ass.
Slops:
-My Play error against Jeff in top 8.
-Stoog for not living up to The Hammafist standard and not top 8ing.
-The damn pizza being mega hot and burning my tongue
-Pyroclasm for not being Pyrokenesis!
Anyways, thanks to all for the Great tournament I hope to see you guys at the next Hadley tourney.
