4th at LGS with Terrageddon.

[Bed Decks Palyer]

On Thursday I finished 4th with Terrageddon in our LGS. The report is a bit bewildered, as I made no notes during games.
I took T-geddon for three reasons: a) I'd vomit the moment I'd touch a blue dual, b) I wanted to play my Savannahs before I'll sell them and c) just because.


Deckliszt:

// Lands
2 Forest
2 Plains
4 Windswept Heath
4 Wasteland
1 Brushland
3 Savannah
3 Secluded Steppe
3 Tranquil Thicket
//\\
// Creatures
4 Fyndhorn Elves
4 Mother of Runes
4 Weathered Wayfarer
4 Werebear
4 Terravore
2 Masticore
3 Mystic Enforcer
3 Exalted Angel
//\\
// Spells
3 Armageddon
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Sylvan Library
1 Armadillo Cloak
1 Aura Shards
//\\
// Sideboard
2 Choke
3 Tormod's Crypt
4 Orim's Chant
3 Reprisal
3 Krosan Grip


Some weird card choices:
Brushland ain't some savage tech, I lost one Savannah in a pub. Instead of Llanowars I opted for far more aggressive Fyndhorns – their daggerz! Masticore has body attached, while Jitte has ugly new frame. I was unwilling to buy Naturalizes, so KGrip was it, although...


Round 1: bye


Round 2: buddy Tom with NO RUG
g1: My Savannah->Fyndhorn (and then his turn2 Clique-peek) left Tom totally perplexed. I built Bear mana, which was a mistake: I should have played Terravore and then Geddoned, otoh I feared Daze and he had manadorks, too. But this way I was simply waiting for NO. He flied for five dmg twice and then on my nine life (with T-vore finally in play), Tom just ordered some big bad hydraboy.
sb: out one Geddon and something, in two Chokes. No Reprisals, though, as I didn't fear Goyfs, just NO-Prog. I should have sb-ed Orim’s Fog, maybe...
g2: I mulled to four and lost.


Round 3: a nice guy with D&T
g1: We started with some small dudes. Then I played Masticore, but he removed it with Fiend Hunter. He summoned two Mirran Crusaders, but when he attacked with them, I Swordsed the Hunter, blocked one Crusader with returned Masticore, then regenerated it while it ate the dude. Then I slowly overwhelmed him with threshed Enforcers, holding ground with Masticore.
sb: 3 Krosan Grips instead of Geddon, Werebear and something else.
g2: I opened with Wayfarer and since then, I couldn't lose - look up the UWT thread. I Wasted his land, but mostly we stared: his Crusader was beating into MoR, otoh he StPed my Masticore. Then he played Cataclysm, to which I responded with Wayfarer and found Savannah. Clysm resolved and left my bottlefield filled with Savannah, MoR and Library, while he kept just Crusader plus land. I drawn two cards (falling to ten life or so), played Savannah no.2, MoR no.2 and Wayfarer no.1 (or no.3, depends...) to have blockers and protectors, then on my next turn I played Terravore. It attacked for eight (Mirran ate two damage). Opponent played Pithing Creature naming Mother, but I drawn Geddon, washed out lands and killed him with 16/16 T-Rex.

End result: 2:1, 4th place

Pros:
- old borders only
- round 2 opponent
- round 3 opponent
- round 3 games
- SFMs set sold
Cons:
- round 1 opponent
- round 2 games
- KotR been printed too late to join the party
- prizes structure (Tarn, Jitte, Brainstorm, chocolate medal) that left me with empty hands
- the fact that the deck is very unforgiving of mistakes and hard to master


I think about teching the deck, keeping Savs for a while and having some more fun with the deck.

Should I take pictures next time or even notarially certified enrollment?

1 victory = top 4 ... ?:)

You mistake my applause. Snark towards the format, playing a highly rogue deck, top 4'ing with 1 win, and general hilarity, all get my sincere approval. :D keep trollin!

[Julian23]

Seriously, lol. Great play, good games. Can we expect a primer for this new savage tech in time to destroy BoM Paris?

I fear that you guessed where's the trouble. And yes, I'd be more proud of my result if the 1st round win wasn't against bye.
Normally there are some twenty ppl in our lgs for Thursdays Legacy evenings. Sadly, an ugly thing called "summer vacation" happened and there were a bit less people than usual, resulting in mere three rounds of Swiss. I don't even want to leak the exact number to not lessen my achievement...

Ok, we were nine.

Oh, I'm really sorry! I misunderstood your quote! I'm glad you loved the report.

Again, I'm glad you loved the report.
It saddens me that I played just one-and-a-half match, because I simply can't count the R2g2. (Otoh, I should have kept the opening slow seven and see what happens, but who could have known that I mulled to four? Btw, it was three lands and Exlated, and I drawn an elf, so it wasn't total thrash.)
Primer before BoM Paris? No no, not before the event! I want to keep the deck secret, so that ppl don't know how to properly crush it.


Btw, the deck is not completely bad. It has really big dudes to overrun the usual 2/x and x/2 creature decks, it sports some basics and "tap-to-add-g" creatures to ty to dodge LD a bit, has quite some synergies and quite some annoying creatures. If I'd have to really improve it without taking care of old/new cardframe, I wouldn't even use many new cards: KotR, Jitte, LftL, Horizon Canopy, maybe Obl. Ring and maybe Elspeth. I may chicken for the next time and use some of those cards, at least I'd play my Chinese KotRs.
I dislike the cipt lands, their effect is marginal and I don't think I'll introduce LftL. (It's a great engine, but it takes some slots and it's much better in Aggro Loam than in T-geddon.) But I may keep two or three cyclers in deck just for the occasional gain, while what I really add will be Canopy/ies (the future frame is beautiful, so it does not count towards the "old frame only" condition) and of course: two basic. If I'd stand against normal RUG, not NatOrder, I'd easily win - all my ground creatures are bigger, I can't be manascrewed and though not every creature is a threat, 28 bodies count and SBed Reprisals are da tech. (The only thing that I fear is fast Delver.)

I'll post a picture of deck, it's quite nice if you're into pauper's pimp.

PS: Btw, I'm not even fan of Masticore, but every time I played it, I was really surprised with its strength. Also: Is Land Tax a card? But I got just one and its price went a bit too high for a person who's in fact slowly cashing out...

"Power creep is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Power creep is not a fact. It's an opinion. Power creep is not a declaration. It's a dare. Power creep is potential. Power creep is temporary. Power creep is nothing."
