Hey y'all - mini tournament report from the Mox Boarding House double header last weekend. I had felt like I was playing reasonably well with Infect going in, but just wasn't seeing results in my local weeklies, so I was actually planning on running poison for day one and RB Reanimator day two. But counting to 10 felt so good on the Saturday that I ended up doing it both days.

Ended up 5-2 both days, just missing the cut (which ended up being clean) both days.

Day one vs:
D&T 2-0
Eldrazi Post 2-1
Grixis Delver 1-2
RUG Delver 2-0
RUG Delver 0-2
Omni Show 2-0
Aggro Loam 2-0

Day two vs:
Burn 2-1
Dredge 2-1
Miracles 1-2
Infect 2-0
4c Pile 2-0
Miracles 0-2
4c Pile 2-0

I was on 1 each of Fluster/Pierce main and 1 each in the board, knowing Pile/Grixis Delver match ups would be tough and there'd probably be a lot of people on them, so I was pretty happy to go 5-2 in those games (the Grixis loss was **this** close too).

Dropping two matches to Miracles was disappointing, since I still think that's a good match up for us. Game 2 of the 1-2 match, I fetched for a second Trop instead of a forest, so I could have Piece and Fluster up the next turn and got Blood Moon'd. Based on the board state/my opponents hand when I drew and played Probe the next turn, I think I would've been in pretty good shape with just the forest, but c'est la vie.

Wasteland overperformed all weekend. I was also on 2 Ponders and Sylvan. I'd probably move Sylvan to the board in retrospect, but I was never unhappy to see the 2nd Ponder. In fact, I'd consider a 3rd over Library.

Probe and Crop Rot/Pendelhaven were the real MVPs. There were a ton of games where Probe either let me know the coast was clear or what my exact lines had to be for the win (twice that was Crop Rot for Pendelhaven). And there were a lot of games where my opponent had enough pressure that I was under the gun to increase the clock and cantripping or drawing Pendelhaven got me there.

My favourite sequence of the weekend was Probing my Omnishow opponent to see that he was Show and Tell'ing in Emmy on his turn, so I ended up Crop rotting into Pendelhaven and using a Hierarch trigger and Invigorate to get him to 7. He Show and Tells and I put in Agent. He looks at me gestures to Hierarch and Pendelhaven and goes, "guess that's game".
