Even though this was a small event, it was still a lot of fun. Mini report time!
Round 1: vs. BW Sui
G1: He plays a turn 1 Bob or something and I FoW. We both do some stuff and he Extirpated my Brainstorms and FoWs and gets down 2 Black Knight and a Jitte, and starts swinging. I have down a Tog, but decide to take the damage until he can swing for lethal (lol), and end up making him use all his Jitte counters to kill my Tog. However, I Tinker for Colossus and pass. He doesn't swing and passes back. I attack, he takes it, and I pass. He attacks, but I E-Truth his knights and he scoops.
G2: I side in Threads of Disloyalty and Needles. Some stuff happens and he gets out a Bob, but I threads it. He plays another Bob, and I threads it too. I swing him down to 6 or so using Brainstorms to not die. Eventually the Bobs get me down to 3 life or so, and I have no more Brainstorm so I mainphase Gifts for Tinker, Lotus, Scroll, BS with 2 or so mana up. He gives me Tinker and Lotus, so I just tinker for colossus and on his eot e-truth the bobs and swing for lethal.
Round 2: vs. Dragon
G1: I mulligan to 5 and he opens with bazaar. He bazaars and discards a dragon, squee, and some win condition. I resolve t1 ancestral and say go. He forgets to return squee like 3 times this game, and he tries several animates, but they meet force of will. I get down Library I think, and am holding Yawg will with a full yard, but am 1 mana short of winning with tendrils, so I pass. He plays an animate spell, but I have 2 bounce spells in hand with mana up. I bounce the dragon with the cip trigger on the stack and he forces, but I just play my other bounce spell and he loses his board and has no cards in hand. I topdeck lotus like a pro, and I yawg will and replay ancestral into tinker with walk in the yard, so i don't even need to go through all the shit to win with tendrils.
During game 1 he made some comment that he was playing forbidden orchards for a sb plan that he wasn't using anymore. I was like w/e, thinking he was probably trying to trick me. When he started sbing in like 10 cards i knew my suspicions were correct. However, I didn't really have anything in the board for oath, so I don't sb.
G2: I mulligan to 6 and we both do some stuff, with me playing some gushes and such. He apparently doesn't have an oath yet, and is sandbagging the orchard, but he has like 2 cards in hand so it doesn't matter. On one of his turns he demonics and passes with like 1 mana up, so I duress and take the oath he tutored for, leaving him with just the orchard. I do some more stuff and he scoops.
Round 3: vs. Flash
G1: My hand is alright, being 2x FoW, island, and some blue cards. My opponent appears to be experienced, so I keep, not wanting to mull. He plays t1 ancestral with force back up, but I fight over it and win. I topdeck brainstorm (lol), but see no land (lol). We both play draw go for a few turns, with me being trapped under my brainstorm cards. The turn before I would see a new card he flashes and wins. My next cards were library, fetchland.
I had seen him play earlier and he too was apparently siding into oath, so I just bring in Disrupts for my topdeck tutors and regrowth.
G2: My hand has Library, I think, and this game is all me, with me just riding the card advantage to the win. However, I can't find a way to win, so he has a chance to regroup. I duress and see 2x angels and 2x fow and flash. He has 7 mana on the board so I take flash. He tops into brainstorm and fetches away his angels. I find yawg will, but instead of going for it, I scroll for force backup. He does something irrelevant and I yawg will and he scoops to my full graveyard.
I figure he will side back into flash, so I bring in leylines. I also bring my tutors back in since disrupt was terrible.
G3: This game was just ridiculous, with me having an answer for everything he does. I open with leyline, and we both do some stuff, getting low on cards. We have a counterwar over something with me just barely winning it by brainstorming into like my 3rd fow. Next turn, he scrolls for ancestral and plays it, but my last 2 cards are misd and a blue card. He is just blown away by how lucky I was (truth), and the next turn I vamp for will and he scoops.
Round 4: vs. R/G beats.
I am the only 3-0, and he has two wins and a draw, so we can't just draw in. We do some math, and I scoop to him since them we would both be guaranteed T4.
The T4 decide to do a cash split plus a pick from the prize pool thing. I pick the foil Brainstorm, Foil Impulse, beat Wasteland pile, and all is well.
All in all, a great event, and I definitely plan to go to more T1 events in this part of the country whenever possible.
