Er, heh.
I think the matchup favors UWR, because Vedalken Shackles is a thermonuclear bomb against Threshold, and basically makes their deck 4 Mongoose, X ways to kill Shackles, 6-ish counters, and a bunch of cards. I almost brought in Red Elemental Blast to make sure Shackles resolved, but couldn't cut anything. You can't really goldfish against a deck with Plow and Wrath and their own counters, and I'll probably just play Shackles or Wrath on turn four or five (Daze is such a little bitch) and ruin you with it.
There were actually 15 people.
I noticed you actually forgot to attack me with Mongoose the turn you blew your EE in game two, but it wasn't very relevant. As far as playing Enforcer goes, I'm not sure. I had onboard Shackles, and more counters in my deck than you had outs and counters. Plus, y'know, more Shackles. I probably would've run out the Enforcer since I don't think I could've won the long game in your position. I had StP and Wrath in hand anyway, but like I said, you're such a gigantic dog right there you have to hope my draw is awful.
But just at the pivotal turn of the game, my opponent turns cockily to Froggy and Zilla -- who are playing their match next to us -- and remarks "I've got him." The next turn, I play and detonate Engineered Explosives with one counter to blow up his two Nimble Mongeese, Swords to Plowshares his Werebear and he's left with an empty board and frowning face. The following turn I drop Mystic Enforcer on the board and ride that thing to victory.
This was hilarious because everyone in the room but him saw it coming.

. I made a bunch of mistakes and just won anyway.
