Store Championship 15 September —Sept. 15, 2018

This was an absolute blast to play and to be entirely honest I feel bad for playing it because no one expected it and most games around turn 10 my opponents had 2-3 lands and I had 15+ easily if not nearly ALL of my lands on the board. The shining star of this deck I would say is Doublecast it is so undervalued! 7 mana I get to search out ANY four lands AND drop 4 2/2 Zombies? SIGN ME UP! Rounds are below.

Round 1 Naya Dinosaurs 2-0 Every time he would build his board about to drop bombs I'd board wipe taking out 3-4 creatures that either tap for mana or reduce the cost of dinosaurs.

Game one was very one sided I finished with 34 life he had two lands and got stomped on by two Sifter Wurms. Game two he got me down to 8 while I was ramping one hour of devastation and double cast cleared the board the following Sifter Wurm hit Spring to Mind took me back up to 17. Sifter Wurm and 6 Zombies finished up. It is important to note that I had two Haphazard Bombardments on the board destroying two lands a turn he simply got locked out!

Round 2 Selesnya Cats 2-0 Game one the nice part about playing a deck out of left field your opponents have very little of what to expect and often times when that happens they play too cautiously or too aggressively. A couple board wipes and a Sifter Wurm and a Ribbons for 7 with a flipped Primal Amulet wrapped it up well. Game two his deck betrayed him severely. A couple Sacred cats and anointed pounces and that was about it.

Round 3 G/W midrange 2-0 Game one this was a match I was concerned with initially knowing there was a substantial amount of flying and extremely powerful threats. Rhonas, Oketra, Majestic Myriarch, Zeltapa, and a list of other great cards with a bit of ramp to get them down early. Had I not had Hour of Devastation I would have for sure lost. Game two I was able to ramp so quickly board wipe a couple times and destroy 11 lands he simply couldn't cast anything. I eventually got to Doublecast Ribbons for 12 so 24 damage was done and the game was over! This deck was a blast and I absolutely hate that I have roughly 3 weeks left to play it =(
