I played Audrey's Storm ( GWSx) and went 8-0-1 for the whole tournament
Some highlights/notes I took during the tournament
Round 1: Raymund Napao with Dragon Stompy (2-1)
G1: Bob goes all the way
G2: I get beat down by his Magus of the Moon and Simian Spirit Guides. Chalice of the Void resolved at 0 and 1
G3: On the play I hit him with Duress taking his only threat of Thorn of Amethyst and I cast Bob with jet and emerald. This allowed me to create card advantage with Bob and at the same time set up a win via tendrils
Round 2: Kim with Naya Aggro (2-0)
G1: He gets to play early beats on me but none of which are threats for me to storm out. Tendrils seals the game,I storm out for 10
G2: Turn 1 Bob and 2nd turn Empty the Warrens for 16 (8 spells) seals the game
Round 3: Ryan Payabyab with Tez / Oath SB (2-0)
G1: On the play I duress Ryan revealing: Polluted Delta, Demonic Tutor, Ancestral Recall, Mana Crypt, Mox Pearl, Tropical Island and Mox Sapphire. I take Ancestral Recall. A turn 2 Bob helps me lessen his life and helped me generate enough spells to tendrils away.
G2: On the draw I resolve Bob and ride him for that lethal tendrils
Round 4: Ching Parungao with TX ANT (2-0)
G1: All I could remember is that on his turn he plays Pact of Negation to add up the spell count for his tendrils that brings me down t0 3 with Tolarian Academy, Underground Sea, Island, Mana Crypt, Black Lotus and Chrome Mox on the board. On my turn I reveal mana vault via Bob and I draw into a random card. Now I cast brainstorm which gave me 2 lands and a rebuild. I return the 2 lands and cast rebuild. Ching is now left with only Tolarian Academy, Underground Sea and an Island which won't help him pay for the pact of negation.
G2: Like what Ching wrote. I cast Timetwister and play a lot of spells then cast duress to see if he had counters for a possible lethal tendrils. He responds and casts Pact of Negation which I let resolve. Then I proceed to using Ponder, trying to get out a Tendrils of Agony. Ponder revealed Brainstorm, Mystical Tutor and Hurkyl's Recall. I get the recall and return all his artifact mana and pass the turn. Pact of Negation kills him again!
Round 5: Marko Trono with BANT fish (2-0)
G1 and 2: Can't remember much from this but all I could recall is that in both games, I end of turn bounced his Meddling Mage and go Tendrils on my turn
Round 6: Vincent Ching with Oath
We decide to ID into the top 8
Top 8: JM Crisostomo with Ichorid (2-1)
G1: Zombie beat down!
G2: On the play I open with Polluted Delta into Underground Sea into Duress revealing 2 Chalice of the void , 2 Ancient Grudge, Bridge from Below, Unmask and Bazaar, I take Unmask then proceed to dropping Bob via Mox Jet and Mox Ruby.He Doesn't recover from this as I set up a lethal Tendrils with the help of Bob
G3: On the play JM mulls to 6 and plays Bazaar and casts 2 Unmask and hits my hand of Mystical Tutor, Timetwister, Wheel of Fortune, Duress Polluted Delta, Island and Mox Jet. He takes Mystical and Timetwsiter. On my turn i play my island and Mox Jet to hit his Ancient Grudge and I pass. On his turn he plays brass and hits my Jet and passes his turn. I Draw into a mox sapphire and use it to help me play out Wheel of Fortune into a lethal Tendrils of Agony!
Top 4: Ching Parungao with TX ANT(2-0)
G1: I beat him down with Bob to 14 life. On his turn he casts Ad Nauseum and dies to it.
G2: He plays island into ponder and passes. I have an insane opening hand of 2 Dark Rituals, Black Lotus, Tendrils of Agony, Mox Jet, Ancestral Recall and Hurkyl's Recall. On the draw I get another Dark Ritual. I open up with Mox Jet and casting the 3 rituals, playing Lotus into Ancestral Recall which revealed mana crypt and 2 other spells. Then I cast Hurkyl's Recall targeting myself then replayed Mox Jet and Mana Crypt to Storm up for 11. Sweet!
Finals: Vincent Ching with Oath
I asked Vince if he wanted to play the finals out but we were both exhausted from the long day. Vince and I agreed that he gets to take home the Tropical Island in exchange of the badlands and the win for me. Sweet!
