Played against some white blue enchantment deck.
Game 1 : mull to 6, turn 1 moon, he conceded turn two before I saw anything more than a triland
So I sb'd out the moons and put in trin, thorn, revoked and crypt as a catch all
Game 2: he chose to draw and leylined on my turn, then he played an enchantment that protected him from my grindstone after I played it on turn two (t1 top). He then proceeded to play enchantments that wouldn't let me attack or use graveyards (his wincon was helm rip). I got out the combo pieces, got jaya out, blasted his enchantment hate and grinded him out around turn 5 or 6. I know I started with a 1 land hand wih the combo and recruiter as well as top and a pyro last. Kept.
Round 2:2-0 against UWR delver
T1 Fow my blood moon
T2 Fow my magus and pierced my blast
T3 canonist doing work, welder taking bolts
I get a bridge out when he plays TNN
T4 painter gets bolted
T5 recruited another painter, canonist still doing work.
At some point I have painter in play and painter in graveyard with welder ready, pass to him he realized he could only play one spell and I'd just activate in response and conceded.
Game 2:
Turn 1 top
T2 welder and canonist
T3 grindstone
T4 thorn
I can't recall much of what happened later, I've been really nervous since this is my first tournament playing painter.
Kept stalling for several turns, until he conceded to the combo (had a blast on top of my deck to top for just incase)
Ethersworn is a beast!
Round 3: storm 2-1
G1 he goes first and combos off turn 2, I had nothing to stop him.
G2 kept hand with trinisphere, canonist, thorn, welder, city and petal. Put canonist out turn one, he took trinisphere with cabal therapy after he whiffed guessing Thalia. I put out thorn and then revolver next turn. Proceeded to beat down him to 8 for several turn. He adnausemed Down to 4, during my lethal attack he tried to bounce a creature and I had an REb to answer.
G3: again kept a very hate filled hand with revoked, thorn, welder in hand. Played revoked turn one with my first of two city's, he took thorn and welder, I drew a land and then I drew canonist and played it. Proceeded to beat down. Next turn I put both combo pieces on board (started with them in hand). He conceded. Oh yeah I remember turn two I tutored for the artifact land cuz I had no other lands, I kept a hate filled hand.
Round 4: 1-2 MUD
G1: t2 moon t3 bridge, stalled until he conceded when combo pieces were in play.
Games 2 and 3 I got mana screwed, could have won game two if I have manic vandal instead of hedgemage cuz I only had the artifact land and an ancient tomb the whole game. He combo'd off and won. Game 3 just had one land that got destroyed and he had chalice on 1 and 2. Gg
3-1 so far
Match 5 2-0 against cloudpost with multiple eldrazi and ugin!
T1 moon kinda sealed it off, turn 4 jaya kept her off basics. Kept the beat downs with painter and recruiter until got her to 8 life then I drew grindstone and was like sure I'll go for the combo win. Turns out she had eldrazi and so we went through the motions, which let me see her deck that had 4 eldrazi and ugin! Plus like 2-3 needles. Anyways once that resolved just continued to beat down for the win. Jaya doing work.
Game 2:
She played t1 expedition map. I kept a 2 city hand with furnace painter and welder revoler and petal can't recall the rest. I turn oned the revoker on map. Turn 3 moon. She got out sylvan library and kept the hand advantage. Eventually I got out 2 welder a and kept beating down till she took out the first moon. I got a second one out and protected my dudes with blasts or REB. Beat downs for the win. Could I counter grip?
4-1
Round 6
Lost both games to BG chalice deck. Never drew enough lands. Had to mull to 6 both times, almost had an early combo off game 1 but he decayed in response
I have no idea what deck this was. He has land destruction spells , chalices, deathrites, and wastelands and 4 sylvan libraries
Round 7
Lost to dredge.
G1 he combo'd off on turn 5 after a mull to 3. I didn't get anything out fast enough to stop him.
Game 2: containment priest painter bridge came out to stall the game until I could find a grindstone. Once out he went for a firestorm but realiZed he only paid enough to do 2 damage to each (thinking priest and painter were the same toughness) so she won me the game there. (Just comboed next turn) I also stalled long enough to get a rip
Game 3 my two hate pieces got cabal therapied away from my opening hand. He went on to win and I only had 2 lands.
4-3
Round 8: elves.
G1: turn 2 moon leaves him with 2 forests bouncing each with ranger and doing nothing to get more mana for a NO. Combo for the win around turn 6.
G2: he therapied my containment priest and my painter from hand (had a blast in hand as well, first painter then priest) . I revoke symbiote instead of ranger which was a mistake, he proceeds to combo off using the ranger to bounce his forests for mana.
G3: I play turn one top. He plays shaman.
Turn two I slam down painter and grindstone. He's got a forest in play, fetch in graveyard, I didn't want to get therapy'd next turn so I played them both from my hand on turn two.
His turn 2, He taps shaman removing the fetch.... For green! Woot not an abrupt decay
Tries to ramp into drawing more cards, doesn't find the answer and concedes before my turn 3.
5-3 for 33rd place - one off from cashing in :(
mud player finished top seed in top 8
Seriously if you don't have canonist main you're doing it wrong. It has literally won me every game!
My deck list was the same main as Jack's but had 3 firebolts 1 pyroclasm, and 1 containment priest instead of his 4 bolts and 2 pyroclasms
Priest got me just 1 win but she did enough I think.
