Man it was a rough day for Welder TriniMUD (there's a decklist posted in the Open Type 1 Forum). Because I only made 16th I'll save some space and time and keep it VERY short.
Round 1: Playing against random G/W deck.
Game 1: Went pretty easy for me. Got the early lock on him with 2 Spheres and a Trinisphere. Then played Trisk with Tangle Wire and swung for the win.
Game 2: Holy crap....My hand looked very good so I kept it...too bad all I drew after that was mana sources...couldn't keep him down for long with a Trinisphere. I play Trisk and kill his face-down Exalted. He follows with Ravenous Baloth and smashes my face in.
Game 3: Exactly like Game 2 except this game the kill was a Cathodian equipped with a BONESPLITTER! Yup, Welder TriniMUD loses to Cathodian with a Bonesplitter attached to it.
(0-1-0)
Round 2: play against bad Elf Deck.
Game 1: Play Welder and Trisk, kill elves, win.
Game 2: Play Trinisphere followed by Tangle Wire and Trisk. Win
(1-1-0)
Round 3: against Sligh.
Game 1: I play a Sphere and Tangle. He gets some weenies out. I play Trisk and he auto-scoops.
Game 2: He plays first turn Lotus, Slith, Goblin Cadet, and Jackal Pups. My face is smashed.
Game 3: I get a soft lock out and eventually get Trisk on the table and he auto-scoops again.
(2-1-0)
Round 4: against 'TOG
Game 1: I get the early lock out and he's able to Deed it away so I get another lock out later cuz he never sees a counter. Short story shorter, I lock him down and play Trisk and swing, swing, swing....
Game 2: Similar to Game 1 except he sees counters this time. I Jar and bait him with a Trinisphere (countered) and Smokestack(counterd) and follow with a Chalice for 3. He ran outta counters. Next turn Demonics for an answer but they are all Chaliced (Will, Deed, Tog, Wish). He scoops.
(3-1-0)
Round 5: Was supposed to play Sui-Black but the repairing put me against Madness
Game 1: I would've owned Sui-Black... Anyway he plays first and goes something like mox, mox, bazaar. Uses bazaar plays Rootwalla discards Deep Anal. Next turn he uses Bazaar again, plays Wurm and discards Roar and Anger. smash smash smash I'm dead.
Game 2: More of Game 1.
(3-2-0)
Round 6: against my friend Micah playin' Stars and Stripes
Game 1: first turn Trinisphere and Welder. Early Lock + Trisk = win for me
Game 2: He plays Mox Monkey and rapes me. I try to come back but he keeps me at bay with counters...Meddling Mage on SmokeStack didn't help.
Game 3: Plays Mox Monkey yet again. blows my early Chalice for 2 and all my moxen. Lives through a Tangle Wire, I try to come back but he gets Exalted out, shows me R&R in his hand so I scoop.
(3-3-0)
I was doing alright throughout the first half of the tourney (except for that embarassing Cathodian/Bonesplitter moment. That stupid re-pairing 5ht round sucked cuz I would've had a MUCH better chance of beating Sui-Black than Madness. Whatever, there's always next time...
Team Dubya results:
John: 9th place (U/W landstill)
Micah: 11th or 12th place (Stars and Stripes, R/W/U Iso-Keeper type deck with Exalted, Meddling Mage, Chants, and stuff like that. It's good.)
Pete: 26th place (He dropped after 4th round I think. Played Nether Spirit Keeper)
Jason: somewhere around 12th place I think, I forgot. (Sui-Black)
Rob (new guy): First T1 tourney ever. Placed 16th. (Ankh-Sligh)
Gary(me): You probably just read the report: placed 19th I think. (Welder Trini-Mud
