Posting from business center at the marriott... VNC TO HOME BOX++

Match one, game one, Greg H with 7/10, myself with a Sligh spinoff...

He lays out trinisphere on turn one, stalls my burn... he whomps on me with Sundering Titan, I die a painful death.. I only beat him down to 16...

I sid ein R&R and Blood moons, game two goes better...

I drop Mox ruby, mountain, and lotus petal, drop a pup and a lavamancer...

He drops a trinisphere,  a buncha mox, and a dual-land...

I proceed on with a fetchland and get my bloodmoon in on the action, and toast him with a ball lightning...

turn 4 I R&R his trinsiphere and titan, and drop a firewalker, ping him for two with the mancer (2 cards in graveyard) and swing with the friewalker for a counter and the pup for two...

I continue beating him with burn and the firewalker and another pup, end of round 2 I have 17 life (pain) and he takes a loss...


game 3... lets just say he walks all over me with a juggernaught... It was a painful expirence, as I had no artifact removal in my hand, and he wheeled to mill my deck for 7 (tapped out that turn, plus trinisphere in play too)


Postings for round 2 should be up shortly, more after that....


Any corrections from my opponents are welcome as I only kept the minimum notes I could...
