I expected these matches to be more difficult than my first round pairing. Unfortunately I lost the first round to some terrible luck and good luck by my opponent. So I wasn't sure about the game post-board.
Game 1:
Exactly what I'd hoped my deck would do, I threw out as many and as potent as threats as I could. He forced and drained me into a corner, but then practically tapped out to hit a morphling and let me get away a Mask. His morphling hit one turn before my dreadnaught, he got me down to 10 before the first 12 points went to the dome, then he drew like a madman, but with no solutions in sight, with me at 5 and staring at 12 points of damage next turn Upror scooped.
Sideboard time, this matchup gets much worse. He boards in his oath engine and 2 weavers with some BeB's to be a headache to me and basically sets to a plan of decking me to death. I side in 4 Reb and both of my disks just to stand a chance.
Game 2:
This game is bad for me. Things start the same, a countered mask and tinker. Then I hit a Su-chi and start swinging. He follows with a Sylvan, dropping 8 life to put the oath engine into play and weavers to stop at a solid 3 life. Now I know I'm in trouble. More counters take away key threats and all I can do now is get decked. A key turn later I tap him out, hit a Jar with Reb backup and draw into some asstounding plays. I drop a few mox, some land, a mask, then twister into sol ring and a welder. Drop my saved dreadnaughts. Now it's on. But those damn weavers are just going to deck me. He tries to convince me to scoop, but I think about it awhile and refuse, knowing I can still hit a solid disk with Reb backup and then I'd be only 1 unanswered creature away from a win. I think with only a little luck I've got this one bagged (since 3 workshops is plenty to drop any threat in my deck after a good disk) and so Upror scoops to the possibility of a very drawn out and boring game. Not the way I'd hope to win, but I guess I'll take it.
Looking at my library after the game I was 10 cards from my disk, with 2 reb between it and me and followed directly by a masticore and mask/naught. I'dve probably gotten this game. Go me.
The match goes 2/0 to me. Leaving me 1/1 for the ToC.
Rock 'n Roll. See ya'll next game.
