Modern Wednesday - Fell off the Obliterator. —Feb. 22, 2017
First Round: BUG Control
Game one was very interactive, but I hit roadblock after roadblock and couldn't keep anything on the battlefield for very long. Lost 0-2
Second Round: JUND
Game one was a blowout. Game 2 was so close. I was able to exile all of his red mana sources with Relic of Progenitus Got him down to 2 until he Maelstrom Pulsed my 2 Phyrexian Obliterators and swung for lethal with goyf. Lost 0-2
Third Round: Bye..... This isn't good.
Fourth Round: Skred Red
Game one he got me pretty good with lots of 4/4 elementals from Koth of the Hammer. Game two I had awesome board presence with Gifted Aetherborn and Vampire Nighthawk doing double time killing off his land creatures. An Obliterator sealed the deal. I finally won one!! Game three I simply got flooded and couldn't do anything late game to win. Lost 1-2.
I got Flooded pretty much every game. I didn't have any trouble getting lands. I think I might drop down to 21 lands. Maybe adding a second Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx to make up the difference. I'll have to test it out.
I saw one Surgical Extraction all night and one or two in the first round would have allowed me to break through his defense. Might go to 4 on this. Or add an Extirpate to prevent any shenanigans while it's still on the stack.
