A friend & I were working on our new Extended decks (due to the rotation). I like the new rotation because of one reason I get to play all of my old Type 2 decks again. I have always been a big fan of Rebels and a bigger fan of counter Rebels ever since Kamiel Cornelissen took 2nd. at Chicago Pro-Tour 2001, losing to Kai Budde wax/wane Rebels. So Saturday was Type 1 and I figured what the hell, let's see what Rebels can do in Type 1.
1st. Rd. (Parfait) I win, 2-0 Rebels were just to fast for him.
2nd. Rd. (Nether Void) I win, 2-0 Nether Void hurts him more than it does me, since I never have to cast a Rebel other than the first one.
3rd. Rd. (Earthcraft) I win, 2-1 I lost one game because he was able to play his combo with no counter in my hand to be able to stop it.
4th. Rd. (B/G Butter knives). I lost, 2-0 Pernicious Deed & black creatures that are pro-white just completly shut down my good old Rebel deck.
I make it to top 4. First place seat, and guess who I play? B/G Butter Knives, I lose again 2-1. Congradulations to username (ump) for winning the tournament. After the tournament ump gives me some advice and tells me to put in Meddling Mages.
Sundays tournament I make a few adjustments, I put the Meddling Mages like ump told me, and I let my friend Ricky use my deck cause I was not able to play.
1st. Rd. (Parfait) He wins 2-0, the same exact way I won on Sat.
2nd. Rd. (Nether Void) He wins 2-0 the same exact way I won on Sat.
3rd. Rd. (Nether Void) He wins 2-0 same as 2nd. Rd.
4th. Rd. (Illusionary Mask) they decide to draw to lock in top 4.
He makes top four. First place seat and gets matched up with OSE, he wins 2-1. Next he plays against Nether Void, his opponent offers him a draw and more of the prize money (store credit) $50.00 and leaving Nether Void $34.00 credit.
So Counter Rebels wins the tournament. Here is my deck list, now remeber the deck started out as an Extended deck so I am missing a lot of type 1 stuff. My sideboard was not really good at all, it was last min through inns.
Mana source (21) 1x Gaea's Cradle 3x Tundra 4x Adarkar Wastes 1x Coastal Tower 1x Strip Mine 2x Reflecting Pool 5x Island 3x Plains 1x Sol Ring
Goodies (21) 4x Counterspell 4x Force of Will 4x Brainstorm 4x Impulse 1x Fact or Fiction 3X Swords to Plowshares 1x Dismantling Blow
Creatures (18) 3x Meddling Mage 2x Lin Sivvi, Defiant hero 1x Defiant Vanguard 1x Thermal Glider 1x Nightwind Glider 1x Ramosian Sky Marshal 4x Ramosian Sergeant 2x Defiant Falcon 1x Cho-Arrim Bruiser 1x Jhovall Queen (game winner) 1x Rebel Informer (just in case)
Sideboard (Yes, I am open for suggestions) 1x Worship 1x Cop Black 1x Cop Green 1x Cop Red 1x Disenchant 1x Hibernation 1x Reprisal 1x Exile 2x Teferi's Response 1x Submerge 3x Opposition 1x Enlightened Tutor
The problem with Rebels is that they so quickly reject authority.
