[/deck]
Round 1: VS Jackson with G/W
- Game 1, I had an aggro curve out really well, with a cackler, bte, ffs, yp, and phoenix. He only had 1 green mana source all game, so when he played his ooze, I could just jet it, (He wasn't really mana screwed though, just color was a bit off).
- Game 2, I sided out all my 1 drops, and went more defensive, and had my favorite play of the night.
I had 6 land (1 muta), a chandra at 6, a bte, a yp, and 2 elementals.
He had a smiter and a trostani, 11 life, and was tapped out. My hand was another chandra, and a magma jet. I plussed the chandra, then played the second chandra and plussed it. SO he was at 9 and both his blockers were faltered. I then turned muta on and hit him for 8, dropping him to one. He scooped after his draw.
1-0 (2-0)
Round 2: VS Justin with 'Boros' aggro (white weenie with boros charm… Aka that gp or open or whatever it was deck)
- Game 1, I had a shit ton of removal, and he flooded a bit.
- Game 2, I had a shit ton of removal, and he got a bit starved.
2-0 (2-0)
Round 3: VS Matthias with Maze's End (;-;)
- Game 1, he managed to get to 8 of the 10, with 2 maze's end on the board, so I was dead his next turn. He ran out of fog though, and I dropped him low enough to hit him with a strike.
- Game 2, he got a bit land screwed and only had 3 gates and 3 maze's ends. I had chandra out, so lots of card advantage, and used a skullcrack to let damage through, and then burn to finish it.
3-
0 (2-0)
Round 4: VS Nick with Naya Midrange/Control (Somebody else's deck he was testing for them)
- Game 1, I sorta curved, but he angered, and the stuff I held back wasn't enough.
- Game 2, I had to mully, and basically either had to keep a 1 land 6, with a shit ton of removal and mortars, or mully to 5, which was death. So I had to gamble on getting a second land so the removal mattered, but I didn't until it was too late.
3-1 (0-2)
Round 5: VS Josh with Naya Midrange/Control (His was a good bit different. No anger, and a bit less control in general, and a lot of planeswalkers)
- Game 1, I curved out and burned his stuff.
- Game 2, I burned his stuff and got incremental board advantage cause yp$.
4-1 (2-0)
Things went weird cause Jackson from game one got paired up vs Nick from game 4, in round 5. Jackson won cause Nick took really stupid hands, since he wasn't as familiar with the deck, since it was somebody else's.
So I got first off OMW%. No complaints here
I also learned that the store guy MUST have been rigging the system…
Seriously, G/W and Naya are not very good matchups for me, ME is kinda 50/50, and boros aggro is fairly good…
But the boros player is a guy I hate playing. He's kinda a dousche e.e
