Cows Comeback Battle —Nov. 26, 2014

A weekend ago, the Cows returned to the tables for a brand new comeback battle:

VS Ascendancy Combo

I won with 2-1, losing the first game. My opponent managed to combo-off on the first game and I lost. On the 2nd game and when he was about to win on the next turn (he was tapped-out, and at 16 lives) with Ascendancy on the field and a dork (which is tapped too), I attack for 8 damage with 2 Gnarled Scarhide, a Deathbellow Raider and a Felhide Brawler. He just takes the damage calmly... and then scoops after I flashed Dictate of the Twin Gods. On the 3rd game as he builds up and being tapped out most of the time, I cast Stain the Mind naming Jeskai Ascendancy and he concedes.

VS Temur Midrange

It was also a 2-1 for me, losing the first game. He beats me with Stormbreath Dragon, a Goblin Rabble master and a Savage Knuckleblade. On the next game, I managed to land some aggro beats with Gnarled Scarhide, a Deathbellow Raider and a Felhide Brawler. He was able to counter Rageblood Shaman with Temur Charm. After board wiping my board and tapping out after casting the phoenix and stormbreath dragon (attacking me and bringing me down to 5), he was down to 3 lives. I untap on my turn and draw a Magma Jet. Luckily, I still have one in my hand and I just burned him to death. In the 3rd game, cheap cows started chipping his life away until I landed Mogis, which actually killed him. For most of the game, he was hesitant to block my cows because of Felhide Petrifier.

VS Mardu Aggro

I lost here 1-2. He won the first game, beating me in speed. The second game was a close one, and thanks to Magma Jet, I was able to win, since I'll be losing next turn. The 3rd game was much of a replay of the first. Two Swiftspears with prowess activated twice and a Butcher of the Horde pounds me down.

That's the latest from the cows' progress.
