hey there, I came into this competition playing ++dark bant trap++ last master, I went jund, so if i screw this up, I am in so much crap! (I got 10th in my first and only master befire this
Me and Lat[GRC] talked in the M-L chat, and he gets 2 byes! totall bull! anyhow, I am playing R1 in 6:43, my main hope here is that I get a good matchup, that is all I need! because this deck certainly seems pretty good!
Last minute deck modifications include -1 sideboarded Iona, +1 sideboarded Grizzled Leotau
ROUND 1:
I was playing someone who T1'd a scalding tarn, and i was lice CRAAAAP i hope this is not RDW! but then he put down a plains, and I was sure it was WUR control, i had board, but I overextended, so he doj'd then negate'd my negate
He then ajani-blasted my lands, allowing to untap, my 19/19 knight of the reliquey, and played another ajani V, tapping it again! G2 I won with Iona, so he boarded out his EQ's for G3, which i kept forest, plains, verdent catacombs, cobra, cobra, BSA, BSA he o-ring'd both BSA's, but i swing for LOADS when he finally calmed down the board, then I summon trapp'd into iona, he counterd it, but I counter'd his counter. Next turn i drew my other wincon, acadic slime the game was soon mineAt the end, he tells me that he boarded out his EQ's. Poor him, but I move on to game 2, he can still final, if he is really REALLY lucky! that was close, a 2-1 win for mee
1-0-0
on the break, Lat and me decide (because he got 2 byes for the trial he won!) that we would draw if we were paired against eachother, that's cool by me!
ROUND 2:
VS wu control
SB
r1 STUCK ON W/G get down iona, he bounces, hardcast, board swinging allot! trap into sphinx, killing his BSA on attack, now i have board. he sping'd got 8! he martial coupe's for 6 i am so screwed! get down a sphinx, then he coupe's for 10! i get a harrow, but I am out of basics! i get down a BSA, damn my draws are good! he takes g1
g2, keep an okay hand, t3 BSA goddamn, he o-rings it damnit!
g3 I keep a hand with no low drops, and a DoJ, but it has a slime and a BSA and 4 lands, I get my turn 5 BSA. DAMN he doesnt oring it, he paths it! o well, i am still holding a slime, this is looking kind of bad, but I still have 2 DoJ's, I get down a iona, hardcasted, naming white, and he only has a baneslayer. he mind spring's for 4, and i am happy, because next turn, i can negate if needed. the game is pretty tight. I get down a knight, for attacking. DAMN i played my SotSW, that was so overcommiting! he mind spring's for 8! holy hell! but he is once again tapped out, so i can safely attack with my sphinx. it is getting really scary! i attack with sphinx, and 5/5 knight, hopigng he wll block the night. this is looking really good, he double block'd
AWESOME! i take this game! too bad for my opponent
2-0-0
RRRRROUND 3!
i win the roll, VS jund, we both have very good starts! i get down 2 cobras and add LOADS of mana with knight! get down a BSA! knight is strong, and I am holding a negate, this should be a very fast game, i learn my opponent had 3 byes, I am a little jealous, but he is playing rampy jund, so I should be okay, ooh it is going well, i trade my knight for his borderland ranger, and utrid leech, that's okay
i have a BSA and am holding a negate. He bit blasts, and cascades in to bolt! I let my cobras die, for i have a baneslayer! he gets down a broodmate! I think i have this though I WIN GAME 1!G2 I keep a very good hand, and lets see where this goes i have a t3 harrow lined up, hope to Td something I can play off it awesome, I draw a cobra, so as long as he doesn't remove it, I get a next-turn trap aww poo he bolts it, i get another cobra, and it goes off completely, then he bolts it
i have a harrow down now, and will trap on his turn! summon trap, o crap, only get a slime! uh oh, i screw up, and accadentaly get a catacombs, but that is easily fixed, i need a land topdeck! i am at 3 life, and just played a sphinx! ono if he has a bolt, i lose good! no bolt! i am up at a safe 6 life, and i think i have this game <3 LOL! i surprise him with another sphinx!! this is insanity! he scoops then, being at 12, with no answers to the sphinxesFinal 2-0, poor opponentt, he had a good deck, and wicked draws, i just didn't see any blightnings or anything
3-0-0
over the break, me and Lat and everyone else in #trap for that matter have a chat, and it seems out main opponent, that we can tell would be Simone[ITA]'s 4cc/5cc so that's not bad, because he is 2-1-0
We then were discussing putting wispersilk cloak in the sideboard VS emeria angel or RDW/Boros, i though they were joking, but they were being very serious! ahh good times!
ROUND 4 is coming up!
ROUND 4 in 3 minutes
ROUND 4 is being paired.....
ROUND 4 is still being paired and it's been like 20 minutes
ROUND 4 is ready, and the master is over 1hr behind scedule
I really hope I win this! if I do, I can (i think) just draw the next to and qualify for finals!
Ugh, game I i get totally screwed game 1, and go to game 2, I get 3 for 1'd by his DoJ, then he dropps 2 Sphinx of Jwar Isle, and I am down
3-1-0
ROUND 5
quite possibly my best matchup, mono W control, g1, summoning trap into iona
he already played Vs this deck 3 times!
he gets a t2 cannonist, which is bad for me, because i know he has a feldar soverign, i summoningg trap, hitting nothing but a slime, tak out his emeria ruin. i get a summoning trap... nothing then i get my last plains, and BOOM it's an iona
It was close, i though to myself, with a massive board, and he has just a bsa and a wall, he scoops, and it's 2-0 for me!
Jeez that was easy, Lat is about 95% chance to T8 good for him! he work'd his ass off for this deck!
20 minutes to burn, so just filled up on nahos, GO MEE!
4-1-0
ROUND 6
start this round in 11th place
ahh against boros sbushwhacker, I cant really say much, just that i lost 2-0
really sucks! now i dont think i can top 84-2-0
ROUND 7
start this round in 15th place
VS RDW, proably my best matchup, game 1 is an easy win, game 2 is really slow, but eventually he gets a goblin guide though, and I am a gonner, game 3 he gets me down to 1 life left, so i play a wall of revrence, gaining 4 from reliquey, lucky no burn! then i just keep gaining life, summon trap into a BSA, and get another wall
best game i ever played with this deck!Waiting to see if i top 8 or not, goddamn, i am so anxous!
Aww final ruling or w/e i got 13th :'(
well, that's okay, I won every single die roll, and only mull'd twice, thanks to Lat for the deck!
