I played a small tourney yesterday... 20-30 players.

1st round against NO-Bant: Mana skrewed him first game and pretty much the same thing in the second. This is such an easy match. 2-0

2nd round against ANT: This was a Finnish version without LED and Infernal Tutor, I actually think it is better than the usual list. This was a close game. First game he wins with just 1 life. Second game I get canonist and win. Third game I get canonist again but it is not enough as he comboes and again wins from 1 life. Great luck for him, not for me.

3rd game against 43 Lands: This was probably the best game of the day. He wins the die and slams his whole hand on the table. He gets pretty much everything to lock me out for many turns and after 2 minutes I decide to scoop it up. Second game I get my hate early and he doesn't have an answer so I slowly win. Third game was quite the same but my hate wasn't so early this time so it was a bit harder. The game ended for me at same time that the time was called so I quess it was the right desicion to scoop right a way and not try to win a really long game.

4th game agains BGW Loam Depths: This was a really cool new deck. He wins the first game because I had no idea what he was playing. Second turn Marit lage is pretty harsh when I didn't have StoP for the token or FoW for the mage. I had daze but he had Mox to play around it. Second game I'm ready and Jitte+Avenger wins the game against 2 Goyfs and 3 Knight of the Reliquary. He fetched Maze of Ith with the knight and Loamed it over and over so it really was a hard game. Nice Deck. Third game I start with a mom and he plays a second turn Chalice for 1. ooops. I really didn't see that one coming. After that I'm pretty much mana skrewed and when I finally get something it's already too late. I should have seen the chalice because usually those kind of decks play it so I think it was my mistake. But a nice guy and a nice deck so he totally deserved it.

5th game against Tempo Thresh: I was the best 2-2 so I had a small chance for top 8, and this was a lottery win match up. UW Tempo is just better than Threshold Tempo. I don't know if he had played the match up before but he did few wrong decisions so it was a pretty easy 2-0. 3-2 and I was 8th after swiss rounds.

Quarters agains ANT: This was another player with the more usual list. Again ANT players have all the luck in the world and I don't. I have nothing to say about this one, bad games and I lose to luck of gods in both games.
