Devin is dead, as is pat (rector player)
So, End of the day ?Originally Posted by Arianrhod
I'm still x1....introduced deathblade to huntmaster. Sam is x2...lost to ur painter with transmute.
3 more rounds
Transmute artefact is tricky :-(
Crossing fingers for your pairings for the last 3 rounds !
Beat a very very good uwr delver player in a close match. Still x-1. Titan has been an allstar today....guess he's rebelling againdt his demise.
Well done. Rooting for you! Hope to see you on camera :)
Sam and I are both x2....he beat stoneblade, I lost to sneak. Never found interaction in two games including a mull to five and a mull to six. Also met starscream, who died at 2-3 with uwr.
Missed day two....nobody to blame but myself, punted game one vs uwr delver, and it cost me. Sam made day two, though, so best of luck there
I played Devin round one in the pseudo-mirror (I was on the Punishing Fire version of Jund), which was a pleasure despite ending on weird terms. Ending up going 7-2, but wasn't coming back for day two once my friends dropped out so I scooped by last opponent in.
Better than me 2-3 drop, close games round 5, but Crusader is unbeatable after losing Fiend Hunter and Sun Titan
Round 4 lose to stasis, game 2 gets close, but he slams Stasis under a Jace and don't draw decay, nice guy though and fun games were had
Round 3 lose game 3 to never seeing Green mana
Fauna Shaman and Nightmare Overperformed, Pontiff was good, going to test a second Shaman and Ophiomancer
Pod consistently caused me as much tanking as Brainstorm normally does and it well won me matches 90% of the it resolved
May fiddle with red and see how that works with Pod, Inferno Titan seems sweet and Olivia Valdaren
Currently Playing:
Dredge, The Rock, Lands, Spiral Tide, Affinity
I'll have a full report coming after this weekend is over. I believe I need to go x-2 or better today in order to make top 64 and the $$$, but I intend to go as deep as I can whatever my record is.
A few brief thoughts going into Day 2:
-Primeval Titan won me at least 2 games just by virtue of being Primeval Titan. His ability set up kills in situations that I wouldn't otherwise have been able to get there. Definitely definitely reconsidering removing this guy.
-Maindeck Slaughter Games haven't come up very often, and when they did it was against fair decks. That said, they won me at least one game in which I took my Stoneblade opponents Force of Wills leaving him with no way to interact with my combo kill.
-There were a lot of fair decks on day 1- I played combo twice in 9 rounds. It looks like there are still a lot of fair decks left, with most of the recognizable names on some form of Stoneblade or Delver, so I'm feeling really good about my chances right now. There's a reasonable amount of Elves still, but I'm better set up for that than most since I get to bring in my 2 Pyroclasm, leaving Deluge in the board as a Wish target.
-The deck performed really well all day. I had my requisite couple of games where the wheels fell off briefly, but that is always bound to happen.
I won't be able to keep you updated with my brick of a phone, but if you are curious about where I am in standings, my name is Sam Higgins.
I was there (in my Ravens jersey) and didnt see any of you guys.
Either way, I had fun and will play next time more than likely.
I knew there was going to be a lot of combo and based on what I saw, I was not wrong.
Funniest part was I saw Rd. 1 Solidarity vs. High Tide. I think it was Solidarity as I didnt see Spirals and was going in response to a Zenith.
Huntmaster worth it in red? You dont get flip as often if chaining, but it leaves a body to chain into said olivia and one to chain into an explorer.
Looks like Sam won round 10. 8-2 now.
And 11.
and 12. x-2. but at the bottom of the x-2's.

Possibly, I think they both have merits, Olivia lets you Enslave and pod their guys. Huntmaster is instant value and create many problems

Sam lost to Elves (Riley Curran). x-3 now.
Sam won. 11-3 (bottom of x-3s). 62nd place
Congratz !!!
and he lost his last round. finished 96th. Bummer. 11-4.
It was a real heartbreaker too- BURN of all things. Still happy with my finish. My breakers were AWFUL, since my day 1 losses both scrubbed out in pretty short order, or else I'd have tried to draw into top 64 and money. It's fine, I had an awesome run on day 2. Beat Reanimator, Jund, Shardless, lost to Elves, beat Elves, lost to burn. Again, details to follow once I get home.
