Just got bored so I decided to write a report on the touney at the
Lucky Frog today.

Here was the deck I played today:

4       Knights of Stromgald
4       Black Knights
4       Askari
2       Nekrataal - not to effective because of cost
4       Man-o-War - 100 times beter then Nekrataals
2       Necratog - key to many wins
2       Sex Monkey - what cursed scoll
3       Guidmages - there ability to return creatures to top SUCKS

4       Incinterates
4       Edicts
2       Earthquakes - The only thing faster then my deck is Stompy
1       Firestorm - good vs many decks
1       Spite - won me every game I drew it

2       Quicksands
2       Reflecting Pools
1       Underground River
2       Springs
2       City of Brass
2       Gemstones
3       Undiscovered Paridise
9       Swamps

SB:

3       Perishs
3       Pyroblast
2       Havoc
3       Disenchants
1       Hydroblast
3       Honorable Passage

Round 1 vs Nick

His Deck:   The best deck there not counting mine of course.  He just
wanted to see how it would work.  It was a Wisdom and Blessing
varient with the Reap engine.  Prismatic Lace,  Wraith of God,
Impules, Libary, Counters,  Reap

Game 1

He drew BS and never played a thing. the only thing I saw was a
discarded wraith and wisdom.  So for the second game in goes the
Havocs.

Game 2

I get off to a slow start with 3 mages and no other creatures.  He
gets the info life and I cencede.  Now I now that he has blue so in
go the blast. Note to self:  Don't drop all those black creatures!!!

Game 3

He has to counter a 2 and 3 turn Havoc:)  Which hurt him when I draw
both sex monkey that are reap proof.  I take an well planed win.

1-0   2-1

Round 2 vs Eli

His Deck:   He was playing big creature BS.  Dragons and junk.  I'm
not joking about the BS.  who knows how he won first round.

Game 1 - 3

I have the answer for ALL of his creatures and he loses 3 straight.
It was like having a bye.

2-0   5-1

Round 3 vs James H

His Deck:  He was bitter from last week and played the stompy deck
that bet him.  Just standard stompy stuff.

Game 1

He needs to win the first game for a good chance but does not because
of an early quake at his elfs.  Drawing 3 edicts helped also.

Game 2 - 3

Perish action need I say more.

3-0   8-1

I smell top 8

Quarters vs Robert

His deck:  Black red.  Used burn with weenies.  His good card was the
scroll.

Game 1

He get the scroll out and it looks bad for me.  I got the removal to
take car of his stuff but can't draw and sex monkey.  I do draw a
Necratog with 7 creatures in my graveyard.  I hit him for 15 and
finsh with a spite.  The best game all day.

Game 2

I draw a quicksand as my only land:(  He get a horde of shadow */1
guys.  I final pull and paridise and play a mage and wack off all his
creatures.  Top deck passage 2 times and win with the mage.  He got
me down to 4.

4-0   10-1

Semi vs Mike Glatter

His deck:  a creative deck with red.  Yeh right.  It was all Sligh

Game 1

How do I win when he draws 1 land?

Game 2

He draws land with 3 fireblast and lots more burn and creatures

Game 3

How do I win when he draws 6 land?

5-0  12-2

Finals vs Eli

How did he make it this far??????????????????????????

I crush him in still with the sex monkeys

6-0  14-2
