1  Eternal Formats / Creative / Re: Wild Research - A New Approach to Workshop Aggro on: September 29, 2009, 02:16:08 am
Tied for first running Mono Red Shop Aggro at a local tourney for a Beta Emerald. Here's the list I used...

4 Mishra's Workshop
6 Mountains
2 Ancient Tomb
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
1 Tolarian Academy

5 Mox
1 Black Lotus
1 Sol Ring
1 Mana Crypt

4 Chalice of the Void
4 Tangle Wire
4 Thorn of Amethyst
1 Sphere of Resistance
1 Trinisphere

4 Goblin Welder
4 Juggernaut
3 Solemn Simulacrum
3 Triskelion
3 Gorilla Shaman
2 Razormane Masticore
1 Karn

SB:
4 Blasts
3 Shattering Spree
2 Duplicant
1 Sphere of Resistance
4 Leyline of the Void
1 Tormod's Crypt

Round 1: Storm (1-0)- I lock him out with Spheres, Chalices and Wire
Round 2: Tezz (2-0)- Game 1 I win due to him forgetting about Chalice at 0.  Game 2 he turn 2 tinkers for robot. Game 3 he takes 12 from his own mana crypt and I win.
Round 3: Storm (3-0)- See round 1
Round 4: Tezz (3-0-1)- ID
Round 5: BUG Fish (3-0-2)- ID

Top 8: Mono U Control
Game 1: I have a double shop hand but he plays turn 2 Back to Basics and I have no answer. He is playing a deck with 4x Ancestral Visions, Jace, Remand, FoW, Vendilion Clique
Game 2: He lands a Energy flux but I had drained him of Counters and EOT Blast it.
Game 3: He gets mana screwed a little and but gets out an Energy Flux. I have Welder and Tangle Wire with Juggernaut so I Weld Wire in for his turn every time and bash him during mine.

Top 4: Noble Fish
Game 1: He gets Turn 1 Trygon Predator and then follows it up with another. I was able to get to him to 1 but couldn't finish it.
Game 2: Razormane Masticore beasts all his guys.
Game 3: I get turn 1 chalice for 2. Turn 2 chalice for 3 and he can't do anything. I just beat in with Juggernaut while I have Welder  and Thorn in play and he's mana screwed.

Top 2: Tezz I drew with in Round 4. We take cash over the cards and split.

While the deck is obviously viable I feel like luck had a large part to do with my wins and that it can be frustrating not playing some of the most powerful cards in the format. Can't complain much considering the results I've had with the deck though. Tangle Wire was the MVP by far locking people out of their early games with Welder or another Wire winning me the game. Razorman was not very good considering I played fish once but when I did go against it he was a house.

4x Leyline of the Void
4x Shattering Spree

Here's the thread from the tournament I was in so you can see what the meta is like...http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=37921.0
