Went 4-2 at the Winter Wonderland Event.
I lost to RGBSA (Mulletus) rnd. 1, Smashed him game 1, game 3 he goes turn 1 Thoughtseize, turn 2 Therapy, turn 3 Threapy, had him at 3 in game 2, needed any burn spell FTW, drew land, he gained life with feeder. Game 3 I got him with in alpha strike range, he gained 7 life (Spike Feeder + Darkheart Sliver), he was at 3, gained more life next turn, GG.
Got the bye in rnd. 2
Lost to Akki rnd 3. He was playing enchantress, I had more trouble with land. Got him to 1 in the first game, he got Confinement lock. I take game two with any land off the top, I draw a burn spell insted, he finishs at 3 again.
Rnd 4 I beat Alix Hatfield playing Breakfast. Really wasn't a game, smashed him games 1 & 2. He didn't seem to draw very well.
Rnd 5 I beat A Legend playing Hulk-a-mania. He wins game one on a sick draw, he goes off turn 3 aqnd wins. I drop a turn one Needle calling Feeder and he proceeds to draw nothing relavent I win in like 4 turns. Game 3 was more of the same, I drop turn 2 Needle calling Feeder, he plays show and tell, I drop another needle naming Kiki. I burn him out a few turns later.
Rnd 6 I play Jesse Hatfield, playing Landstill, I think. I don't remember much about the games. I won 2-0, I know Grim Lavamancer was big in both games.
I finished in 11th, ntb. On a fun note I didn't cast a single Tarmogoyf all day, not 1. Here is the list that I played:
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Grim Lavamancer
4 Kird Ape
4 Keldon Marauders
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Chain Lightning
4 Lava Spike
4 Rift Bolt
4 Fireblast
4 Price of Progress
3 Reckless Abandon
3 Wooded Foothills
3 Bloodstained Mire
4 Taiga
8 Mountain
Side Board:
4 Pyroblast
3 Pithing Needle
3 Shattering Spree
2 Pyroclasm
1 Pyrokinesis
2 Blood Moon
I can see how you didn't cast a Goyf, no Taigas.... j/k congrads on the Top 16 after going 1-2. How did Reckless Abandon work out for ya?Quote:

Any coincidence between this:
...and no Magma Jet in your list? Possibly. I still firmly support Jet to smooth those draws.Quote:

P.S. Dinner on the 21st?

My goyf Sligh lis works very well when I draw 2 mana sources, no more no less. The hand I kept against Akki game two was solid: Taiga, Bolt, Spike, rift bolt, Kird Ape, Reckless Abandon, Keldon Marauders (KM). If the Taiga was a mountain I would have mulled. I drew another Abandon and KM followed by a Bolt and a Fireblast. My final draw was a Fireblast...Turn 1 Ape into turn two Rift bolt, swing for 2 (18). Yurn 2 I swing for 2 and Lava Spike him to 13. Turn 3 I swing and chain him to 8. Here is where I nned a mountain ftw and wiff, he drop a confinement on his turn and locks down the game.
What's the reason for the 2 Pyroclasms and 1 Pyrokinesis in the board? Empty the Warrens?... You can just run Tremor if that's the case.
Pyroclasm comes in handy against many of my meta match ups. I bring them in against Sui Black, ETW Combo, Survival and goblins. The Pyrokinesis was a test in the board, I found that in a few games I needed to cast a "sweeper" or just kill one dude and have mana left open to cast a burn spell FTW. I only brought it in once and didn't really get a chance to test it...Quote:

is countryside crusher worth testing here? it's going to be the most expensive cc in the deck and will filter out lands and in turn pump it's own... possible dissynergy with fireblast though =[
I'm not trying to sound rude, but the moderative note just above your post should apply to you too. Please use capitalization in your posts.

And +2/+2 for countryside crusher as well hehe.Quote:

I understand the whole point about 3cc and I totally agree, however, isn't worth 4 slots in the SB for Magus of the Moon? it can win so many games....
I run Blood Moon, Magus is to easily delt with. Any burn spell or STP and he is gone, Blood Moon can be delt with to, just requires a little more mana.Quote:

The Picture is Fucking Ugly, thats all I have to say on Crusher for now...:tongue:Quote:

The land-skipping ability is more useful than it's big body, since it could have just as well been a Dryad if it were for the body. All the deck really needs is 1-2 lands off the top, so Magma Jet could have taken its place.
Pretty nice that those two cards have been rolled into one giant package (pun intended). I'll test it more. Maybe it would feel better in the morning. :tongue:
