As always the level of competition at C&J's was very tough this week as Brent, Christiaan,Tom Sr. and myself where at attendance. (the other players at attendence were also tough opponents) I piloted dragon this week my build look something like this:
Spells
2 ambassador laquatus 4 worldgorger dragons 4 squee goblin nabob 3 compulsions 4 intuitions 4 animate deads 1 dance of the dead 3 necromancy 4 force of will 3 duress 1 vampiric tutor 1 demonic tutor 1 ancestral recall 1 timewalk
Land/mana
4 bazaar of baghdad 4 underground seas 3 bayous 1 swamp 5 moxen 1 black lotus 1 sol ring 1 mana crypt 4 bloodstained mire
Sideboard:
3 pernicious deeds 3 xantid swarms 3 chalice of the void 3 chain of vapor 3 stifles
1st round Dragon vs White weenie
Game1: I won on turn two playing first ,I played a bazaar (into wolrd gorger)with moxen to accelerate into animate dead for the win. My oppenent played land tax and it was over.
Game2: -1 compulsion -1 Squee -1 timewalk, +3 chain of vapors My opponent plays first, he plays a plains casts land tax saids go, I play bazaar and pass the turn, he misses a land drop, but plays tormods crypt. Eventually he casts a bunch of white weenies attempting to play empirial armor for the win which I FoW, I drew into chains of vapor and necromancy for the win, close game. 2-0
2nd round Dragon vs Frozen Poop combo
Game1: I go first, I play bloodstain mire passing the turn , my opponent plays a land , skull clamp and ornithopter and passes the turn. I play bazzar, tap it pitching world gorger and laquatus, play a mox and animate for a turn two kill.
Game2: -timewalk , -1 compulsion,-1 squee,-3 duress + 3 chains of vapor, +3 pernicious deed. He plays first drops a bunch of 0 two cast artifact creatures and saids go. I have a iffy hand as I have every combo piece except for an animate spell. He drops a tormods crypt and casts a skull clamp equiping it and swinging with an ornithopter I believe. I eventuall draw into a bazaar but I make a fatal error I unknowingly pitch both my laquatus's to the bazaar leaving them to be crypted. My opponent allows me to Vampiric tutor for force of will, I drop pernicious deed, sacraficing the deed, he crypts in response I casts necromancy and go on to win, I should have lost this match since I errored by leaving my win conditions to be crypted. 2-0
3rd round Dragon vs Madness (Tom Sr.)
Game1: He plays first drops his whole hand and then ripping ancestral off a careful study with a Basking rootwalla in play with deep analysis in the grave yard. I keep a no business hand without bazaar or draw and go on to loss.
Game2: -3 Duress -1 squee- 1 time walk-1 compulsion- 1 intuition -1 worldgorger -1 necromancy +3 xantid swarms+3 pernicious deed,+3stifles I play first, and mulligan down to 6 again a no business hand, Tom drops a early ground seal and I cannot find a solution fast enough as a wild mongrel and aragant wurn comes for the win. 0-2
4th Round Dragon vs Rogue reanimator deck
Game1: I play first dropping a swamp setting up for a turn two bazaar into anime for the win, my oppenent mulligans down two 4 and plays a swamp. I take my second turn and go off as planned.
Game2: -3 duress -timewalk -1 squee -1 intuition +3 stifles +3chains of vapor. my opponent goes first plays a swamp saids go, I lay bazzar , mox pearl and sol ring and pass the turn. Turn 2 he casts ritual casting entomb for a Reya Dawnbringer and then plays a land drops damping matrix tormods crypt. I eventually animate his Reya and eventually even animating a Arcanis after he buries alive 3 creatures. I go on to kill with his own creatures. 2-0
5th Round Dragon vs Draw 7.dec (Christiaan)
Game1: I play first no business I lay land pass the turn, Christiaan goes insane and resolves jar turn 1 or 2 and cracks it setting up for a turn 3 win when he casts deminishing returns on turn 3 with a ton of mana and drawing the jar off the deminishing returns, I survive at the cost of double force of will pitching double laquatus eliminating any real chance of winning for myself. After all that crazyiness I play bazaar pitching dragon and going infinite as dragon is the only legal target, so we draw game 1
Game2:-3 duress -1 timewalk-1 Squee-1 Necromancy +3stifles +3 chalice of the void. I play first game2, I play a chalice for 0 lay a land and pass the turn. The chalice for 0 was the key factor in game 2 for it gave me enough time to set up the combo and go off. I had the combo in hand but was unsure if Christiaan had the chain of vapor so I wait to get a force of will through intuition before going off and winning.
Game3: Christiaan goes nuts by playing a ton of spells eventually resolving bargin and tendrils for 20 for the win, I believe my only play that was even threatening was a turn 1 chalice for 0 which got chain of vapored, which allowed Christiaan to get insane mana and killing me. Time was called and we ended up drawing our match. (very good game) 1-1-1
So at the end Brent won the tournament on points by going 4-0 and dropping, I win "the prize" as I won on a technicality that I was still in the tournament and that Brent had Dropped. I woulda enjoyed seeing how our match would have went. I have a feeling it would have been a good match to see.
