FNM at a different venue

JasperMcFoxx, 9 years ago

Overall the night went really well with a final score of 5-1-1.

Round 1

Opponent: G/U Hydras

Game 1: He curved out very well. Turn 1 Elvish Mystic, turn 2 Sylvan Caryatid, followed by a turn 3 Prophet of Kruphix. Many large Hydras then flooded the board.

Game 2: Game went just as planned. Got in some damage early with a Fencing Ace and Fleecemane Lion. Cleaned up with a Ghor-Clan Rampager on the Ace.

Game 3: Don't remember the exact plays, but very similar to game 2.

Overall: 2-1 Win.

Round 2

Opponent: R/G Aggro

Game 1: Took some damage but laid em out with a good combination of combat tricks on my double strikers.

Game 2: 3 Brave the Elements kept my Selesnya Charm token and Fleecemane Lion which just did work.

Overall: 2-0 Win.

Round 3

Opponent: R/G Monsters

Game 1: Kept a hand with a 2 drop creature and a Mizzium Mortars. I followed with a Preeminent Captain, which flooded my guys in as I was able to use the Mizzium Mortars to remove his Stormbreath Dragon.

Game 2: We both laid down guys, notably his Generator Servant. He sped out a Polis Crusher with it but I answered with another Mizzium Mortars.

Overall: 2-0 Win.

Round 4

Opponent: G/W Aggro

Game 1: Mulliganed down to 5 cards. He curved out well and I scooped on turn 3.

Game 2: He led with a Sunblade Elf. I put a turn 2 Selesnya Charm token in the way and dropped a Fabled Hero on turn 3. Turn 4 he blocked the knight token and I used 2 Ghor-Clan Rampagers on my hero. 20 clean.

Game 3: I had a strong creature on turn 2 and turn 3. Turn 4 I buffed with a Boros Charm and Ghor-Clan Rampager for the win.

Overall: 2-1 Win.

Round 5

Opponent: Jeskai Aggro

Intentional draw into Top 8.

Top 8 Round 1

Opponent: R/B Aggro

Game 1: Turn 3 Master of the Feast went unanswered.

Game 2: Curved out Fencing Ace into Loxodon Smiter and finished turn 4 with 2 combat tricks.

Game 3: Swarmed hard on 2 drops. My creatures were bigger than his.

Overall: 2-1 Win.

Top 8 Quarterfinals

Opponent: Jeskai Aggro

Game 1: He had amazing answers with one Chained to the Rocks and 2 Boros Charms.

Game 2: Got amazing 2 Fiendslayer Paladin, but all of my lands came in tapped, causing the paladin to come in slow with an Imposing Sovereign already in play.

Overall: 0-2 Loss.

Overall

Ended either 3rd or 4th on points, but I don't quite remember which (I think 3rd). Better than I really expected without knowing anything about the meta.

Oh Ya! 5-2 State Championship!

TheGamer, 9 years ago

Alrighty guys! For those of you who are interested, I have an update about the TCG tournament.

Anyway, I went 5-2 at my very first big Modern Tournament! Isnt that great? I don't really want to make this super long, so im going to go one by one with each opponent and post my record:

Round 1: Tarmo-Twin, 1-2

Round 2: Affinity, 2-0

Round 3: UWR Control, 2-0

Round 4: Infect Mirror: 0-2

Round 5: UWR Control: 2-1

Round 6: UWR Control, 2-0

Round 7, Tarmo-Twin, 2-0

That's what happened. I see that my bad match-ups are the Infect mirror and Twin. I also went with a team from my LGS, here's how they did:

Teammate 1: Elf Stompy, 3-4

Teammate 2: Melira Pod, 3-4

Teammate 3: Tarmo-Twin (My round 7 opponent), 3-4

Teammate 4: B/G Rock, 5-2

And incase you were wondering I wont leave you hanging... Neither me or teammate 4 made Top 8. Only one 5-2 made it in.

Meta: Incase you were wondering about the Meta at the Tournament, I saw a lot of UWR Control. A lot of it! Second most was probably Twin, and 3rd was probably the multiple Rock Variants. I saw probably 3 Pod decks that whole day. But I did see a lot more Burn then I expected. At least 6 different Burn decks. I don't know all of top 8, but here is what I do know about Top 8. There was 2 Rock decks, a twin deck, a zoo deck, and a living end deck.

Well, that's the day. m very happy with the deck's performance seeing it being my first Modern Tournament.

Special thanks to thispersonisagenius for being a HUGE help to me and getting this deck tournament ready! And thanks to everyone who took the time to comment on the deck, its greatly appreciated!

And P.S. I wanted to tell you guys all the great card buying I did from the vendors!

1) Remand (Ravnica version), $10

2) Stoneforge Mystic, $20

3) Promo Batterskull, $18

4) 2 Splinter Twin, $18 a piece

5) Yawgmoth's Will, $18

6) Sylvan Library, $16

It was an expensive weekend, that's for sure...

quick update

Tozman, 9 years ago

i brought it back down to 60 cards.

also made a few changes to the more expensive cards and made a sideboard. sided 2x Door of Destinies as i found they weren't being played/used much, i'll fully replace them with something else eventually but for now its all i have.

feels a lot better to play now. slightly faster as well.

swapped 2 of the Lord of Shatterskull Pass out for Oracle of Bones because i'v found the Tribute effect from Oracle of Bones can be really handy. it either comes out as a 5/3 with Haste, or it lets you cast a Flurry of Horns or a Lightning Strike/Bolt.

Lord of Shatterskull Pass is a great card but i don't think this deck is slow enough to make use of his ability very often. For now i'm going to concentrate on adding a little bit more cheap burn.
