ToC Round 3

[Vegeta2711]

yay... so it's Me vs Green Knight like the title says.

So I have R/G/U beatdown running Dryads, T2 cards (Mongrel, Aquaomeba, Merfolk Looter + Madness spells) and Wild Research.

Green Knight is running 4 color control (B/U/w/r) with Juzam's, Mishra's, and a single morph as his kill elements.

Game 1: I r stupid and don't save the log. Luckily the game is rather ingrained in my head as WHY you should have wastes or some form of LD. Green Knight over the first 7 turns or so lays 3 Mishra's and assorted other lands on the table. So he's getting mana flooded... somehow that doesn't comfort me.

I lay down an early Dryad and Research, dryad leaves me at the end of his turn via edict and he slowly beats me down with Mishra's. Two City of a$$ don't make my life any easier for me. I soon lay 2 Mongrels and trade with one of his Mishra's. With the next attack a 3/3 pumped mongrel and a fiery temper kills the other two.

Quick Status Break
I'm at 2 life with Taiga, Volc and Trop Island, and 2 city of a$$. I also have a Mongrel and Wild Research on the table.

He's at 15 life with I think 1 cards in hand, City of a$$, 2 Underground Sea's, and a Volc Island.

He then drops a 4th Mishra *groan* and my Mongrel gets STP'ed. He knocks me back down to 2, and then on the next attack swing I burn away his Mishra. I play an Aquameoba

Soon enough he Mystical Tutor's for Ancestral. And that's where he makes a mistake which neither of us figures out till after. He should've tutored for Fire/Ice and finished me off since I was tapped out. Depsite ancestraling he draws junk basically.

Aqua manages to slowly knock him 0 life range.

1-0 me

Game 2: I have the log! And it's short! Only 5 turns long for me. =)

So basically I win 2-0 gg's. GK feel free to correct me if there's anything I screwed up. So I'm 2-1 matches in the ToC now.

[Green Knight]

Yeah, thats about right. You took me to town!

The ancestral play was something like this:
You wild Mongerl in play bunch of land and Wild Research w/ zero cards in hand.
Me 2 MF, bunch of land.
I figured you for dead as you had 0 cards in hand and just went (mystical tutored) for the ancestral for fun, and drew it. Attacked w/ both MF's you blocked one and killed it, then you wild researched for fiery temper and killed the other MF! I did not see that (casting w/ Madness from research) coming and shot myself in the foot by just going for the ancestral...so I cast ancestral and draw a bench of junk and you quickly take me from 16 (you were at 1 life) to zero! Good comeback, BTW!
I guess I played a bit sloppy, but they were good games and it was a blast playing you. Good luck the rest of the tournament:)

Interesting; I would have blocked here trying to defend my life total and squeeze a 2-1 (or maybe more!) card trade out of Vegeta.  I figure that even with a Juzam, I am still not the aggro deck.    

Looking back now, what do you think?

[Green Knight]

No blocking would have been no good, as he had 4 cards in hand and my Juzam would have died and the Mongrel would live to beat uncontested. Then again he would have lost his hand so...I dunno : )

[Vegeta2711]

Well simply put it would've been Mongrel is still alive, I bolt him and have a logic on the stack just in case and Juzam is dead. With GK at like 1 or 0 cards and me with 2 creatures on the table it wouldn't of been a good trade anyways.

That or yep 2 for 1 trade (Temper and Mongrel), but then I still have another Aqua in my hand along with Logic. Overall I felt just taking the 2 and keeping the Juzam alive was a good call.

The only real thing I thought was odd was when he swung with Juzam the turn before I killed him. With you sitting on a low life total I thought you were going to hold back and block. But, then again you didn't know I had a burn spell and Juzam would've been pinging you every turn...

[Green Knight]

I thought I had one more turn...and I was praying for a time walk! It was a risky move, but I was basically toast either way, yes I could have held off one of your creatures. I guess I saw my window to strike and gambled. What can i say? You've gotta keep it fun : )
