Ran Bug Fish its a pretty standard list and after playing it the only thing I would do is probably cut tinker/inkwell to the board and put in seize x2 or maybe 2 trygon main. The list went as well as I expected.
List: 22 4 waste 1 strip 4 polluted 3 strand 3 trop 3 underground mox x3 lotus
recall walk b storm mystical/vamp/demonic duress x4 B.O.B x4 spellstutter sprite x4 goyf x4 daze x4 vend cliquue x2 FoW x4 null rod x3 diabolic edict x1 tinker inky levi
SB: 4 leyline of the void 2 dark blast 1 diabolic edict 3 damnation 3 seal of primordium 2 trygon predator
Match 1: I played against a guy who was running u/w/g fish but not a selkie build. He ran some odd choices in my opinion such as mana drain in a 3 color deck with wastes+strip. He admited he didnt play much besides online here and there. Basically the match consisted of BoB winning me games and tinker locked it up once. Dark blast came in for his avens and to win me goyf wars. Honestly he misboarded and put in artifact hate even on g3.
Match 2: Tezz ( i think) it ran vault and welder and some fish elements that wernt null rod. g1 I open land mox BoB on the play he forces I daze. He draws opens recall I force and its pretty much game from there. g2: I just outdraw him but it goes longer and darkblast makse the diffrence.
Draw rnd 3-4 into top 8.
Match 1 against a nice guy playing r/g land D beats. Hes never top 8d before and all i know is hes running ice storm and bloodbraid elf. Game 1: I turn 1 duress rip a ice storm seeing stone rain stripmine ice storm 3 land and gorilla shaman. I talk about how I dont understand why people use strip effects turn 1 when it gains them no advantage. ( mainly because if he strips my land im kinda fucked. He plays land and emerald and passes. I drop BoB. My hands holding goyf, daze, vend clique, and a null rod. He stone rains I daze and blow him out from there.
G2: Pretty quick I have 2 goyfs by turn 3 and he strips me down to 1 land but I have force incase he gets tricky. He bloodbraids I force it, it cascades into a magus of the moon but the goyfs run him over.
Two of the top 4 guys wanna split. They drove from st. louis I guess. I look at the remaining field of 3 tezz players , 2 of them running 4-5 color with a sketchy mana base and hoestly think my chances are at least 10% ahead. One guys running mainboard sowers, the other two have balance, and pyroclasm but its tezz i know it. I refuse the split.
I get paired against the one of the three I thought was the best and we agree to toss the other 50$ if either of us gets 1st just as a bonus and play. He wins the roll and off we go. g1: He blows me out hard, we keep pace with each other but he assembles vault key when im tapped out ,plays around daze and thats all she wrote. g2: i board out 1 spellstutter 2 clique, and tinker inky, for edict, dblast x2 and trygon x2. I open with duress and see forcex2, vault, sol ring, fetch, undg and another blue card. I rip the blue card. he opens land, ring, vault. I follow up with bob he forces and I daze. I outcard him and get there with bob+ goyf after spellstuttering a ponder that may have dug him out. g3: Tooth and nail match. He opens with land mox time walk. He drops another land and passes. I go land/mox null rod hoping to bait and its fine if it resolves as well. He drains and I allow it ( force/SSS / and daze in the wad) . He plays land, passes. Heres where it gets interesting. I play duress, he gifts in response, I daze the gifts, he forces the daze, I force the force, duress resolves and strips his ancestral. ( i think thats how it went) He has 2 lands in hand I have goyf/bob land land mox on the board. I pass he draws and passes, I drop bob, and goyf after ripping mana. He brainstorms at Eot. Doesnt seem to get what he wants. He draws for turn and passes. I rip a daze and a recall. I recall draw 3 which is land land and goyf. Drop goyf # 2 and pass. He mystical tutors at EoT and daze does me jack shit. He grabs balance. Loses a land wrecks my board and gets rid of my hand were both in topdeck mode. Im at 15ish and hes at I want to say 7. He topdecks tinker into sphinx and I topdeck edict. Back to square 1, I draw beats eventually and get there.
Top 2: 4-5 color tezz: This is the guy that really really wanted to split, he offers again and I refuse mainly because I wanted 2 play magic. G1: Im retarded I have a good hand but just let him get there. I open duress and see welder, land ,land , mox ,gifts, recall, and vault?(i think). I rip the recall and pass, he plays land mox welder and passes. I have bob, goyf, duress(after drawing it), land,waste, and I beleve walk. I play BoB to set up for extra draw with walk next turn. I wasnt expecting him to be able to pump gifts until a turn later. He rips sol ring plays gifts offering me crypt,vault,lotus, key and GG because I didnt duress. Damn.
G2: I run 21 land/mox i draw 7 of them, I force something good early, land a turn 2 trygon he REBs it. Then draw land after land after land as he assembles vault/ key.
Ahh well I choked G1( arguably by not playing it safe, and got flooded g2, but still it was fun to play something besides RGW)
Anyways sorry if I fd up any of the hand listing or plays its been a long day and going from memory.
Fun as always small tourney but good times Eric and extreme games.
