4th Place at Standard Showdown Undefeated 4-2-1 —March 29, 2018
I played a different deck at Showdown last week, because I was sick and tired of people on TappedOut ragging me about how bad they think this deck is.
This week I thought, "Fuck it, I enjoy playing this deck, I'm going to give it another spin."
That was the right move. I came fourth. I always consider a deck successful if it sits in the top four.
1-1 Mill
Our games were sooo slooooow.
I crushed him in the first game. The best play I did was putting Prey counters on four of his Creatures, after he had gone wide with Servos, then casting Tetzimoc, Primal Death next turn to board wipe him.
Second game we went to turns.
I would have killed him on the next turn, but he was able to mill me.
I made an earlier play where I Fatal Pushed his Creature, which made me mill an extra card. At the time it felt like not the best idea.
Turns out, if I had not done that, I probably would have won.
2-0 Pirates
This Creature heavy deck does poorly against mine.
Took out all his Creatures easily both games.
1-1-1 Marionette Master
This Opponent played very slowly.
I killed or Exiled all his Creatures, and Tezzeret the Schemer, in the first game.
Second game I think he Sided in more Counter spells. He was able to get Marionette Master to stick, and had a bunch of Treasure Tokens to sac.
We didn't get through our third game, due to his slow play.
I had some lucky breaks tonight, but that's Magic.
I made some silly plays, too. There were times when I could have gotten rid of an extra Creature, or drawn an extra card.
If I'm going to keep playing this deck, I need to practice it a bit more.
Play of the night was the Tetzimoc board wipe. It's the first time I've done that, and it felt good.
