Like 50-60 poeple showed up.. Half of them were scrubs playin their first tourney. Tourney was 6 rounds of swiss, here is the deck i played: Recur/Drake: Combo: 4 Recurring Nightmares 3 Peregrine Drakes 1 Stroke of Genius 1 Fireball(Doesnt need to be in there..use it to kill em first game. make em sideboard in anti red.. then kill em with stroke next game) Card Fetchers: 4 Intuitions 4 Survivals Other: 2 Spike weaver(key) 3 Spike Feeder(hrmmm..think ill take out 1) 1 Verdant force 1 Shard Pheonix 1 Scrivener 2 Harrow 4 Flagpoles 4 Mana Birds 1 Dark hatchling Land: 7 Forest 4 Swamp 4 Island 1 mountain 1 Karplusan forest 1 UnderGround River 1 Volraths Stronghold(not needed, put another Waste in) 2 Wasteland 3 Cities Of Brass SideBoard:(anti-Blue) 2 Monk Realist 2 Monk Idealist 2 Scragnoth 2 Lobotomy 1 Wasteland 1 Thrull Sergeon 3 Pyroblast 2 Scavenger Folk I see Some mistakes that i made in my sideboard..now onto the tourney: Round 1: Sylvia Norwood, WW/Sligh Game 1: She plays couple of Disciples of Grace, i go off she cant deal. Game 2: She goes 1st turn pup, 2nd turn Disciple 3rd turn B Lightning..I go fourth turn Weaver and stall till i can pull it off. 1-0 Round 2: Scott Garibay, Elves Tech Game 1: he only gets a Cradle Guard. I Hatchling it and go off. Game 2: He draws nothing. i go off on third turn. 2-0 Round 3: Tom ???, Draw-Go Game 1: he Taps out to play silver wyvern. i go off. Game 2: I cast nothing in first 4 or 5 turns, i eventually get a survival into play, i go get scragy..i play it..next turn he goes ICE FLOW..i go crazy..im like "whats this card do??"..he disks and stays in control. Game 3: Luck was on my side this game...he starts to get into control around turn 6 or 7. He has like a ton of mana on the table. I think its over..until i draw Lobotomy..i lobotomy him he has nothing but a disk and ice flow...at the end of his turn I intuition..holding a pyroblast in hand..he lets it go..i go for a City of brass(because i need it for pyroblast) and 2 Drakes. Because he is such a nice guy..he gives me the City. Next turn he has 1 card in hand and i go off..pyro his counter then win. 3-0 Round 4: Jim Kirby, Draw-Go(i hate this deck) Game 1: he gets stuck at 1 Stones and 1 island..but has like 3 manaleaks and 2 forcespikes. I eventually Pull it out tho. Game 2: I go all the way with my 3 Pyroblast draw. (My Luck is Runnin good today) 4-0 Round 5: Andrew Blumberg??, Sligh Game 1: I make real big mistake. i use city to add some of my infinite mana..because i figure since im gonna stroke him it wont matter if im at negative life..well i finally go off at 1 life..and i am at -986 from tapping my city..then i fireball him..the judge then asks if im ready to end the phase, and i realize what i did..so i had to dig through my deck for 2 spike feeders and gain all the life again. Game 2: He gets stuck at 1 land :( 5-0 I draw Into finals. Finals Round 1: Tony ???, Academy Game 1: i have no chance against this deck game 1 Game 2: Even tho i sideboard 11 cards against him..none of them help. I lose. After the match i realized that i should have put Arcane labratories in my sideboard o well...ill win it next year...
