Round 1 – Bryan w/ Noble Fish
Game 1 – My opening hand has bolt, bolt, drain, misdirection, standstill, and 2 lands. I bolt early guys then land a standstill. End up hitting 3rd bolt to hit a predator. Then I land a jace and get work done. GG
…I sb In 2 reb, 1 blast, 1 firespout, 2 sea, 2 jailer (just as a body to block/attack)
Game 2 – He mulls to 5 and my opening grip has library, waste, strip, fetch, etc. He gets mana denialed and loses pretty easily.
Round 2 – Jason Koresco w/ RW hate
Game 1 – Pretty much same stuff in this match as the first. First game has a couple waste effects I land a standstill then drop a jace midgame and win.
…I sb in 2 sea, and 2 jailer, and firespout
Game 2 – He mulls to 4 or 5 and I beat him with mana denial and card adv.
Round 3 – Brad Jarman w/ Catless shops
Game 1 – He gets a retarded hand and ended up having 7 spheres on table and went through 3 wires, all while sitting on tolarian. So that’s the end of that game
…I sb in 1 sea, 3 flux, 1 firespout
Game 2 – He gets early crucible and gets tolarian again. Gets 2, revokers which meet a firespout, he then sticks a precursor golem, I bolt killing them all, I end up winning with 3x factory beats and a couple bolts he had chalice on 2.
Game 3 – I counter some early spells then land a flux and that was pretty much it
Round 4 – Allen (cutie-pie) Fulmer w/ TPS key vault hybrid
Game 1 – I mull to 6 getting trap, misdirection, force, null rod, library, and hurkyl’s. He goes early recall and meets my misdirection, I start librarying and that was it.
…I sb in 2 reb and blast
Game 2 – I think I mull to 5 and It had strip mine and not much else he beats me pretty quick with turn 2 key vault force of will back.
Allen purposes we just draw at this point bc he is my friend and I was fine with that as he was already 2-0-1 and would rather get another draw instead of a loss. So we draw and we play out the 3rd game for fun and I win
Round 5 – ID with Father Gans w/ Dredge
Top 8 – Anthony w/ Dredge
Game 1 – I have 2 waste effects and crucible, and still lose haha. And he asks me this game to use a dice for zombie tokens aparently he went through the whole day borrowin opponents dice…seems good…so he borrowed tokens bc dredge is lame…anyways
…I sb in 2 sea, 4 leyline, 2 jailer, 2 reb
Game 2 – I mull to 5 him to 4 I believe. My 5 is force, 3 land, and jailer. I draw a blue card and stick a jailer. And draw a 2nd later and that’s all she wrote
Game 3 – He keeps a 7 so I need to get a good hand. I mull to 5 into leyline, leyline, drain, misdirection, sea. I deny his mana after drawing a waste. Then mid game he starts casting guys and I counter some dudes and then I kill bazaar and he loses from there. I hate dredge lame deck so glad I won
Top 4 – Joe Pace w/ Bob Gush.deck
Game 1 – I misplay with running lotus factory out, then sac lotus for blue play rod, then standstill. He forces standstill and I hit 1 more land in a long time and lose. I could have played standstill drain back just got excited for the double play. It was a dumb play
…I have to make up some lost ground now. I sb in 2 reb, and 1 blast
Game 2 – Long game involving standstills and null rods and I think he made a mistake and accidently played a mox cracking standstill and I end up winning there after. Somewhere in this game he plays sapphire, grudged my rod, then went for a game ending yawg will which got mindbreak trapped (thankfully it wasn't the stifle from my old list or I would have lost)
Game 3 – He mulls to 4. My hand is a good 7 of recall, misdirection, reb, drain, standstill, 2 fetch. So yeah it actually was a game surprisingly enough it went to the late game bc he played needle on factory so I couldn’t just play my factories then play standstill bc we could just draw til I deck myself. He goes for grudge on null rod I misdirect to the needle, then start playing standstills and win from there.
FINALS BABY!!! Evan Hundertmark w/ Cat Stax
Game 1 – He mulls to 6, I keep a 7 of waste, waste, lotus, jace, hurk, sabotage, X. He plays sphere turn 1, then I waste his land. He plays factory then passes. I play wasteland tap for lotus, then pass. He plays waste, and attacks me for 2. I know the game is over now. I play jace and start fate sealing him and regain control when crucible lands. And that’s it.
…I sb in 1 sea, 3 flux, 1 firespout
Game 2 – He mulls to 5, I go to 6. My hand is flux, flux, Island, waste, bolt, recall. He plays chalice @2 turn 1, then I waste his land and pass. I recall a few turns later after he plays a sphere. Then he plays the cat attacking me close to 10. Then I bolt the cat. And play flux a turn later. Then a 2nd flux, then a jace, then its GG’s lol.
CONCLUSION – I love this deck and it’s a great choice decievingly very hard to play. I made 2 maindeck changes since the last blue bell I won with this, which was i cut the 2 stifles and added 2 traps. They were insane vs blue today. The smallest misplay and you can lose. It doesn’t have many powerful broken plays like many t1 decks. And that’s why I like it! And I sided dredge hate (sometimes don’t with this deck) and I beat dredge so it was a good day! Not to mention winning a sapphire. This deck is very underrated and ppl don’t think much of it.
