Thursday Night Standard —Oct. 12, 2012

Overall went in to top four with deck and split top prize tonight! Only a total of eight players. I'll only be keeping the full recaps for the most recent tournament, otherwise will later shorten to prevent posts from being too long.

Rounds: 3-1-1

Games: 8-3-1

Round 1: Mirror match U/W control. 1-1-1

Game 1: First match I managed to swing in with the Azorius Keyrunes as the opponent did not run any. Dodged as much removal as I could using Trading Post to sack the keyrunes if they were targeted and would bring them back to hand in two turns.

Game 2: Opponent sided in Rest in Peace and Geist of Saint Traft. I sided in Negates a Dissipates in place of Syncopates and Think Twices. The game went until I decked out.

Game 3: Draw due to time.

Round 2: Rakdos Aggro 2-0

Game 1: Opponent played Rakdos Cacklers and Ash Zealots until I could respond around turn four with a Supreme Verdict. Kept board control to win with angels around turn 12.

Game 2: Opponent sided in Rakdos returns. Sided in Sundering Growths in place of Syncopates. Won game a bit quicker due to a timely turn 6 Entreat the Angels.

Round 3: Jund Aggro 2-0

Game 1: Was hit a few times with Gravecrawler and a Geralf's Messenger but managed to get two Terminus off to gain control and win with an Entreat the Angels.

Game 2: Unsure of opponent sides. I sided in my zombie hate, Witchbane Orb for Geralf's Messenger and Blood Artist, Knight of Glorys, Grafdigger's Cage and Dissipates. Took out Syncopates, Trading Posts, Think Twices, one Azorius Charm and two Azorius Keyrunes. Kept control until a turn 8 Entreat the Angels for the win.

Round 4: Esper Tokens 1-2

Game 1: Went down to about 10 early, but managed to wipe board and make a Tamiyo emblem to eventually draw into Entreat the Angels for a win.

Game 2: Quick game. Opponent sided in Geist of Saint Traft. Only had two mana, lost after geist hit on turn 4 and swung three times without an answer. Sides were similar to Game 1.

Game 3: Managed to stall against Drakes, Spirits and the occasional Geist, using Nevermore around turn 6 naming Geist. Was kept at one life for about 3 turns then was unable to stop him from making two drakes. Drew no answers. Went to round of four in first.

Round of Four

Round 4: Rakdos Aggro 2-0

This was the same opponent from Round 2, with similar results. I did not side game 2.

Decided to split prize with person who played Esper Tokens, was a long night. Very pleased with how the deck did! Learned I might just want to pick something other than Syncopate, did not help in many matches.
