Round 1: Jerry Yang: Mirror
Game 1: I open with Fetch-> Swamp+Mox, Confidant. Then he plays a Polluted Delta and I immediately think I'm fucked since I just cut myself off Mana Drain, considering he always plays Workshops @ gencon. However, his deck gives him nothing, and I get game 1.
Game 2 was pretty ridiculous too, because I counter everything he plays.
2-0
Round 2: Greg: Mirror
Game 1: I play like a FUCKING MASTER in game 1. it was amazing. I'm pretty sure I am the best player on these boards. I'm pretty sure you should all worship me. I'm pretty sure I'm being sarcastic.
He plays a confidant before me, and counters EVERYTHING I do. 4 Turns later, he sets up Key Vault. 2 turns later, we're going to game 2.
He flipped Gifts, Force, Force, Delta, Force. Pretty lucky
Game 2: I run over him. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I resolve Bob and Jace, and he just doesnt have a chance.
4-0
Round 3: Mirror.
Game 1: We go back and forth with Confidants. I resolve Tinker and hit him once, and then he resolves Jace. He starts going to town on me, and plays Tezzeret. It's the window I need to cast Yawgmoth's Will and Steal this one back.
Game 2: He tinkers Sphinx and I dont' draw an answer
Game 3: I can't remember how I won.
6-1
Round 4: v4ino: Espresso
Game 1 was really back and forth, but his karn gets me.
Game 2 I open up with a hand that just wins the game. Lotus + Mox + Land into turn 1 bob + Seal of Primordium.
Game 3: I have the game under control, and rip Demonic Tutor. I cast it, and tinker for sphinx knowing he has no Duplicants. Unfortunately, though. He has Maze of Ith. I then get into a wierd situation where I have to hurkls him, but then can vamp for will and cast it though his chalice @ 1 + Golem, but he plays Chalice @ 3.
7-3
Round 5: Oath
Game 1 and Game 2 are pretty much the same. I draw really solid hands, and he never gets to activate Oath.
9-3
Round 6: Dark Depths
Game 1: Unfortunately, I had no idea what he was playing. He opens with Swamp, BETA LOTUS. The beta part was confusing because usually people with those types of cards play real decks. I force it thinking he's on TPS. Then he plays Ritual. FUCK. I force it. On my turn I play a land. He then Wastes me and I was totally not expecting it. I resolve A bob, and so does he, but unfortunately, after he Edicts me. He then gets the Merit Lage into play, and I'm going into my sideboard wishing I still played my 4 Repeal Tezz list that butchers bad decks.
Game 2: He Mulligans to 5 and I thoughtseize him and he's stuck on 1 land but has double thoughtseize and Null Rod. I take his confidant. He thoughtseizes my Confidant, but I have time vault in hand, so I imperial Seal for Confidant. I figure he's either going to Thoughtseize me, or he's going to draw a land and null rod, which i could claim. He does thoughtseize my time vault. My confidant starts doing some work. Unfortuantely, he hits the runner runner with a completely empty hand, and I lose the game with Force (Drew after he played Hexmage), drain drain natures claim natures claim in hand.
9-5. FUCK
*I have to admit, this deck can get good draws. It is a really frightening match from the Confidant player's perspective, but I still had about 9 draws that would help me in that matchup*
Round 7: Conley Woods
Game 1: We get into a situation where he attacks my Jace with Confidant X2, Cannonist, but I have Confidant x2 as well. I Natures Claim his Cannonist, which resolves. He then goes to edict me, but I have the force, and leave the red zone empty, but with me having the Plainswalker in play. I use it to fateseal him until I have to counter something, and then I Jacestorm to get a dRain back. Eventually, I build it to 12, and blow it's ultimate.
Game 2: He mulligans to 6 and opens with Jet, Waste, bob. I open delta, go. He flips Strip mine, swings for 2, and passes. I EOT Vamp and find Lotus, then Key-vault him out. PRETTY fucking dumb.
11-5
I get into 13th place, and trade my packs for a Japanese Jace. I then sell some cards, and go to a club with Bob Mahr, TK, Owen, James King, and David Williams.
I'm not doing Props and Slops except to say Bob Mahr was an absolute pleasure to meet, and anyone who hasn't met David Williams seriously needs to, He's one of the most down to earth people I know. Jesse Martin is an awesome guy as well. So is the fellow who Moderates the MTG Salvation forum who's name I cannot remember, the Canadians Glen and Mike and everyone else in that crew I'm forgetting.
Semi-Slops:
Dark Depths
Oath of Druids
Stash Kuras
NOBODY having fucking GURU Islands. I had to ask a friend of mine to ship me some.
