I think the Lieutenant of Llanowar should be promoted to 5-star General of Gaea.
Fan-fricken-tastic, Julian. Congratulations!!. Enjoy your spoils! I can't wait to see the games and your report.
Guys, thank you so much for your support! Winning this tournament was possibly the most awesome thing I ever did in Magic - and all my friends were there to celebrate! I really wish I could give shout-outs to all of you!! :smile:
The deck and the event were such a blast to play! I think you can find my matchups for Day1 some pages back. On Day2 I played:
Round10: Merfolk 2-0
Round11: ANT (Grzegorz Jezierski ) 2-1
Round13: UWr Miracles 2-1
Round14: ANT (Jamie Westlake) 1-2
Round15: Patriot (Stuart) 2-1
Round16: ANT (Timo Schünemann) - ID
Get into Top8 with 12-1-2 as 2nd seed, sweet.
Quarterfinals: Fabian Görzgen - Punishing Maverick 2-1
Semifinals: Grzegorz Jezierski - ANT 2-1
Finals: Shahar Shenhar, the freaking World Champion! - Death & Taxes 2-0
You bet your ass I will follow this up with a huge tournament report! Right now I'm sitting in the hotel lobby after treating my friend's for out for dinner. I'll be catching my train to Munich tomorrow noon - and still got the rest of the week off of work - wait a second, Raphael Levy comes around for a talk :cool:
Regarding the finals, the Quirion Ranger was summoning sick! I feel so bad about it now, I felt literally sick the moment I realized it way later. After the finals, I went to my team and explained how I killed him on turn2 without Cradle. After I failed to explain after like 4 attempts, I pulled out my cards and recreated the gamestate - only there did I realize that the Quirion Ranger was in fact summoning sick. Neither Shahar, the judge, the stream nor did I recognize it.
My friends now like calling it the Raging Quirion Ranger. Although I like the name, I feel really bad about it and I didn't get the chance to apologize to Shahar for it.
Anyways, Bazaar of Moxen Paris 2013 - I'm loving it! Thank's again so much for your support despite my epic missplay in game2 against Jamie, who's a great guy I previously only knew from MODO. It's funny, had I not lost to him, I would have been undefeated over the entire weekend (including the 7-0 in the trial; and the 6-0 at our local tournament one week earlier, if you want to count that!) But...you can't win it all, hu? Pretty sure I will definitely the next sanctioned match of Legacy I'll be playing next weekend at Nuremberg. I hit some SICK variance in my favor of the last days :laugh:
Thank you so much!!
Yours, Julian
Really interested in hearing how the Ruric Thar MD did.
Congrats! That Mtgthesource playmat is super sexy! Didn't watch after you got into the finals because I knew Elves was gonna take it and had to sleep lol
Congrats Julian i'm happy combo finally won with 4 decks in top8 ^^
Congrats Julian!Now that you revealed my super-secret tech for DC I gotta find something new :p
Clearly i lack the skills.
Played virtually identical list at the 3 bye trial, and resolved turn 2 Ruric Thar vs Omnitell, (with me going first). Then lost that game.
My warmest congratulations Julian!!!
I would like to make a few questions about your side:
- Why you play the 2xPithing Needle instead of other cards? What usually name?
- How is your side and in-side-out against tempo(RUG and UWR) decks and combo(ANT and S&T) decks? (I have the problem of side-out cards in these match up...)
sorry for the questions but I'm really soo curious,
again congratulations
Don't worry about it. It's still a tremendous performance and nobody (except me maybe :tongue:) seemed to notice it when it was going on.Quote:

Huh. Did he have a sick read and side in Wipe Away or something? Or did he T3 Show and Tell into Emrakul or Omniscience -> Emrakul? That's incredibly unlucky. :/Quote:

Congrats! :)

They do that. They're dead to a swing. Ruric swings because it must, Emralolol blocks. Next turn, they draw their one card. Emralolol swings, annihilating your board. They cast Enter the Infinite now that Ruric is dead, putting a card on top of their library so they have time. Or they can just Wish=> Ants you.Quote:

Then you Enter again(Draw 0, 1 Enter on top) and either pass, they do something irrelevant, swing with Emrakul again or just Cunning Wish => Ants them. I guess there's some lulzy line where you Wish=>Bounce spell, bounce and cast Emrakul to Time Walk and swing again too if you want to humiliate the opponent.
Most builds do play either noxious revival or research//development in their sideboards.Quote:
