3rd place at Standard Showdown 4-4-0 —Nov. 9, 2017
1-2 Cats
I got him easily in the first game.
He was a bit slow off the mark so I had tonnes of answers in hand by the time his Creatures hit the field.
Then I was able to bring them back with The Scarab God.
Second game I had to mulligan to five, and just never recovered from that.
Third game went on for a while, which worked in his favour. I wiped the board a few times with Yahenni's Expertise, but he was eventually able to build it back up, and start gaining life with Regal Cacharal.
I keep forgetting the ability on Yahenni's Expertise. Not good.
1-2 Dirty Energy
I played StuBi in this match.
His constant stream of Creatures got ahead of me in the first game. Once he was able to pump them up with , that was it.
In the second game he Dispossessed all my Torrential Gearhulks. I was able to keep putting his Creatures in the 'yard, then bring them back with The Scorpion God. Things swung in my favour in the late game.
In third game he Dispossessed all my Torrential Gearhulks AGAIN. Unfortunately I couldn't draw into The Scarab God, and I only had Vizier of Many Faces in hand.
I think I made a bad play choice to letting a Longtusk Cub stick, so I could copy it. That meant he could Crew an Aethersphere Harvester he had on the field. I tried to get rid if it, but he was able to keep making it Hexproof.
2-0 Ramunap
This player always has bad draw against me.
Tonight he got mana flooded in his first game, and mana screwed in his second.
I don't really have the heart to explain to him that his deck isn't optimised against mine.
Also that I think I Sideboard quite well against his deck.
He was getting a bit cocky tonight, so I'm glad in a way that I robbed him of two games.
The Scarab God worked well in the deck, although I keep forgetting the upkeep triggers.
