Subject: Missouri State Championships Date: Mon, 09 Nov 1998 15:06:36 PST From: "Aaron Hessing" To: fkusumot@ix.netcom.com I show up at the tourney and I see most of the St. Louis players and Scott Lipp oh yeah and Kyle Kloeckner (the beat magic player in Missouri who went 1-2-2, good job man I wish I was as good as you) This was the deck I played Sligh 4 Mogg Fanatics 4 Jackal Pup 4 Ironclaw Orcs 3 Fireslinger 2 Mogg Flunkies 4 Ball Lightning 4 Shock 4 Incinerate 4 Kindle 3 Sonic Burst 4 Cursed Scroll 16 Mountain 4 Wasteland SB 4 Pyroblast 3 Disks 3 Meltdown 2 Rathi Dragon 2 Scald 1 Bombardment Changes I would make I would add land destuction and Lightning blast and most certainly earthquakes, and I would have gone back to 4 flunkies. 1st round Kid from St. Louis 1st game, I get enough damage and kill him 2nd game, I did a first turn meltdown for 0, and he had the counterspell It hought I had that game won with the first turn meltdown and it really threw off my concentration, thenhe Time Sprials and I conceded, the Judge told me he drew 6 land and a MoMa off of it. I really screwed up conceding I should have made him play it out espically considering I won game 1, but it is my fuck up and I learned my lesson. 3rd game, he strokes me for 75 that sucked 0-1 2nd round Frankie Casselman I drove down with frankie and I built his deck 1st game, he drew shit and I burned him out 2nd game, I dropped the scald and it dealed 8 damage to him so guess who won. 1-1 3rd Round, guy with a really weird white deck. 1st game, I got the double scroll going he didn't have a chance side in Rathi, haven't seen too much of his deck 2nd game, I find out what his deck is suppose to do, he drops wall of nets and worship and he pumps his wall of nets to 4/12 that sucked, so I conceded since his deck was like 74 cards and I didn't want a draw with this guy. 3rd game he got out the wall of nets, but stalls at 3 mana and cannot drop the worship but I had enought direct damage in hand to kill the wall so it wan't a big deal. 2-1 4th round, Jimbo, my hated-black deck 1st game I built this damn deck and now I got to play it (intersting sidenote for all the players in St. Louis, the judge from St. Louis, DQ him saying that corecion wasn't in any other expansion, I told him it was and jim was back in and now if Jim beats me it is because I got him back into the tourney when should I learn to keep my mouth shut. Now you know the quality of judges in Missouri) Jim hatreds me and I lost 2nd game I top deck incinerate and win 3rd game top deck ball lightnign and win That had to be my closes match all day, I will never in my life build Jim another deck cause he might beat me. 3-1 Another sucidie black deck 1st game she gets the rital, gix, sacromany, carnophage, scroll, on me adn I can't recover to speed like that, god I wished I played earthquake instead of meltdown. Hell I wished I had more time to playtest for this tourney. 2nd game she doesn't get the quick draw and I burn all her creatures, and I drop a flunkie and she is like ok then I drop Rathi and she isn't to happy and she dies a couple of turns later. 3rd game, I ask if she wants to draw but she doesn't and she gets the sacromany, sacromany, cursed scroll draw, and I got mountains and ball Lightning and flunkies in my hand, I'm dead pretty soon after. 3-2, I'm out but they are giving prizes for top 16 so I might as well keep playing. 6th round r/w weenie. game 1 this kid gets a bad draw and loses, game 2 he gets mana screwed, I don't think he was really ready for sligh, his deck seemed more of a meta-game choice, but I'm not really sure becuase he got bad draws, I was kinda hoping for a good maych becuase I only had one all day and that was against a friend, oh well. 4-2 I get a pack of urza's saga, chinese exodus, and UNGLUED (getting that unglued pack just made my day) Scott made top 8 he had a good shot of winning, but I don't know if he did cause I left early. Anyway Later all Aaron Hessing Props Steve for running the best tourney in Missouri Spanky for being the same dumbass he always is Jim for going 4-2 in his first sanction tourney Slops: Sucidie black I didn't even see it coming Everybody knows I'm just a Kyle Kloeckner wannna be ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
