I decided to go Boros at the midnight Pre-release for Gatecrash. Went 3-2 overall...probably should have been 4-1 or 5-0 if not for some stupid mistakes in R4 and keeping a bad hand in game 2 of R3. I really had quite a decent card pool, but after hitting 3:30 AM, my mind stopped working all that well.
Round 1 vs. Simic: Lost the first game and decided to splash the Black for Kingpin's Pet and Gift of Orzhova . Swept the next two games. 2-1.
Round 2 vs Orzhov: Hit every drop. Flying just kept him beaten down. Went 2-0.
Round 3 vs Simic: Game one I hit the perfect curve. Boros Elite into Daring Skyjek into Skyknight Legionnaire into Spark Trooper . Game two I kept an okay-looking hand, but never drew into a white source. Game 3 he managed a Drakewing Krasis and gave it +2/+2 and unblockable (with some sort of enchantment), and out-raced me. I was one-mana short of taking the game. Went 1-2.
Round 4 vs Boros: Kept an O.K. hand, but didn't draw into anything. He had all the answers, and it was about 4AM and I was beginning to play badly and made a critical misplay. Game 2 I hit a nut curve again, but misplayed and lost. 1-2.
Round 5 vs Dimir: Crushed game one, despite all his removal and milling. Game 2 I survived milling and a chump-blocking a 26/26 Consuming Aberation to get my opponent down to 2 before I ran out of blockers. Game 3 we battled back and forth, despite me getting milled to single-digit cards. But I just out-raced him.
Overall record for the night 3-2.
