Saturday night modern results 4-1 —March 26, 2017
Played 5 rounds tonight
Round 1 vs Bant Eldrazi 2-0 W
One of my best match ups. They are somewhat of a slower deck and verdicts and removal is too much for them to over come. Also they are slow enough that I have plenty of time to cast compulsive research. Easy 2-0
Round 2 vs GW Emeria 0-2 L
This was the first I've played this kind of deck. Emeria the sky ruin is apparently crazy verse straight control decks. I was hoping to find ghost quarters + surgical to stop the Emeria lands but wasn't able to do that before he got two of them on the field and I got slowly grinded out of the game. This makes me think I need more graveyard hate in the side.
Round 3 vs Jeskai Nahri Control 2-0 W
The 4 cryptics and remands were great this match up. I remanded 2 ancestral visions probably 4-5 times and then finally crypticed them once I was under complete control. The oblivion stone was great too for the nahris. My build is just a more counter heavy deck than nahri control. A long 2-0 round.
Round 4 vs Grixis Delver 2-0 W
I just have more removal than they have threats. Another great match up for compulsive research too. Got some very good supreme verdict this round too, 3 for ones. Easy 2-0.
Round 5 vs Jund 2-1 W
The games come down if Jund has a turn three Liliana of the Veil of not and if they do can I counter or kill it. Game one 1 I didn't and lost. Game 2 he mulliganed to 5 and lost. And game three I was able to avoid Liliana and win. The match up is all about Liliana. The match up would not be hard if it wasn't for her. A grindy 2-1 round.
Finished the night 4-1. It's the 3rd week in a row that I've finished 4-1 with this deck. I think I have finally found the correct numbers for the deck and I am enjoying it a lot lately.
