-1 MD Duress
-1 Dark Confidant
-1 Wasteland
-1 SB Chalice of the Void
-1 SB Glowrider
+3 MD Extirpate
+1 SB Extirpate
+1 SB Duress
Round 1: vs Tog [0-0-0]
Game 1 started poorly: I kept a tundra+moxjet+duress+FoW+etc. hand and he went first. He first turn duressed, I forced then he forced and he took my mox. I dropped my land and brainstormed into creatures. He then wastelanded my tundra and I scooped to game 2.
Game 2 was amazing: I started w/ a Sea and passed. He dropped a black duel and duressed which I forced. Then he dropped a lotus and cracked for black for a plague spitter which I then dazed. Lots of things happened after that but the game winning play was an EOT vamp for lotus and next turn mind twisted for 5 (of his 6 hand). He scooped
Game 3 was horrible: Plague spitter first turn that I couldn't deal with and then when I dropped a grunt he Kavu'd.
Round 2: vs Stax [0-1-0]
Game 1 was tech: He get a stax turn 2 (land+lotus) then I played Kataki. He upped stax and passed. I sacced a land, played a wasteland and got rid of his one land. The I played a Mage naming Smokestack. His next turn he was forced to sac his stax and crucible which I then rode into victory.
Game 2 was also tech: His first turn he dropped a Welder. My first turn I dropped a pithing needle on welder. Overall this game was rediculus with the amount of mana I denied him by drawing into 3 wastelands and a strip mine. I ended up riding Jotun Grunt into victory.
Round 3: vs UWb Fish (gasp, the mirror) [1-1-0]
Game 1 was tough: Daze was an allstar in this game but it wasn't enough. It came down to me at 4 with a confidant and him at 2 with no creatures. I had played 2 Force of Wills so all I had to do was NOT get a Force off confidant but of course, I did.
Game 2 was fun: Nothing notable happened this game, just he played creatures, then I did then we'd trade some in combat and such. Darkblast during upkeep and then dregding to recast allowed me to swing through with a kataki to end the game.
Game 3 was a draw: We were 2 minutes from 5 turns and neither of us could win by then so we drew.
Round 4: vs Tog (again!) [1-1-1]
Game 1 was easy: Mage naming Life from the Loam and a little countering caused him to scoop.
Game 2 was slaughter: With plague spitters and kavus my creatures didn't have much of a chance. I ended up losing this game by a long shot.
Game 3 was slaughter, again: Almost the exact same plays and game 2. Same outcome.
Round 5: ? [1-2-1]
My opponent never showed up so I got the win.
I ended up like 10th-ish with a record of 2-2-1. Moral(s) of the story: Daze is an Allstar and Tog is a bad match-up.
I'm sorry the descriptions of the games are a little short and maybe a little vague but I'm getting a bit tired. Any feedback on my list would be greatly appreciated.
Deck-list notes:
- Vampiric Tutor was put in because I couldn't find my Demonic Tutor else I would've played that.
- In hindsight maybe -1 MD Swords to Plowshares and +1 MD Darkblast might've been better because I didn't see much Tinker-Colossus.
- I was thinking about doing something different in the SB: -1 Leyline, -1 Pithing Needle, -1 Darkblast (3 is unnecessary with one main as mentioned above), -1 Chalice of the Void (I never really sided this in) and added something else.
