[Deck] Deadguy Ale (B/w Confidant)

[Wilkin]

Played a small 19 person tournament yesterday. Snuck into 8th place with a 3-2 record and lost in first round. Tried out a couple of Caustic Broncos. Didn't see them much. One died to plow, one was countered and only one resolved and swung once. Will still try them out.

Positive highlights. Vs Show and tell. opponent casts show and tell and puts in an Emrakul. I put in Humility. gg.
Vs. Mud. Opponent casts a Chalice of the void for 2 to stop me from casting Serenity. I then cast a Karn's Sylex a couple of turns later to blow up his whole board except for one land.
vs Reanimator (that can board into chain of smog combo in games 2 and 3). Turn 1 pitch cast Grief to take Atraxa. Cast Reanimate on Atraxa. Get a bunch of cards, cast Chrome Mox and then Reanimate my Grief to take Animate dead. 10 power turn 1.

Humilty, Karn's Sylex and Stoneforge Mystic carried the deck.

Good tech. What were you running?

[Wilkin]

Most of the same crap i usually run. Other maindeck change is adding a Shadowy Backstreet and taking out a fetch. Fetchable Surveil lands are pretty nuts, which makes the Troll extra good, went up to 2. Deck is like half Scam, with a Stoneforge package. Sometimes opponent has GY hate that sometimes doesn't do much to me or has something like Meltdown which is also situational.

Other notes.
-Mystic is still pretty decent. But Jitte isn't that good atm. Lion Sash is really good as is Kaldra.
-Karn's Sylex still gets people. Whether it's fetches, Force of Will, Dismember etc. I've even been able to activate for 6 to kill a troll.

Went to Heart of the Game in Buffalo. Was tied for top seed after swiss with a record of 4 wins and a draw. Split top 8, which I was thankful for since it took a few hours to get to Buffalo from Toronto. List is the same as last time except I took out a Canonist from the board for a Pest Control.

Round 1. MUD. Win in 2.
Both of his starts were slow. I had Karn's Sylex to wipe his board to win. In game 2, my opener had 2 Serenity and 5 lands. I think that's a keep. lol. I later drew a Karn's Sylex to wipe out more stuff. Drew a Pest Control later in the game but the game was already done at that point.

Round 2. BUG beans. Win in 3.
Game 1, turn 1 I Chrome mox and cast a Stoneforge mystic into Kaldra Compleat.
Game 2. Card advantage engine was too good for me to win
Can't remember game 3 that much. I think an Orc token as a 3/3 eventually got there in the end.

Round 3. UB Scaminator. win in 3
Game 1. He animate deads an Archon of Cruelty. GG.
Game 2. He has a Liliana of the veil (he used his Dauthi Voidwalker to cast it) on 2 and a Grief. I had a Stoneforge Mystic in play which had just tutored a Kaldra. He thoughtseizes me first. I respond with an Orcish Bowmasters to knock Lily to 1. My hand had a Kaldra, Surgical extraction and a Liliana of the Veil. He scooped at that point. Guess he felt I would have outgrinded him out at that point.
Game 3. At one point I had a Grief and he had an animate dead Grief. I was winning the race and topdecked better to win.

Game 4. Hullbreacher echo. Win in 3.
Game 1. He wins though a thoughtseize to hullbreacher echo turn 2.
game 2 and 3. At least one of them (maybe both) had a serenity kill of his permanents except 1 land. Leyline of the Void in game 3 saved me from a Hullbreacher echo loss.

Deck did well this time. Mystic was great. So was Lion Sash. Only did Grief/reanimate a couple of times. Only saw Pest Control once but didn't cast or cycle it but will continue to leave it in sideboard. Didn't see Caustic Bronco that much either. May try a Boggard Trawler or a Fell the Profane for a Castle Lochtwain.
