I've been playing mtg about 8 years, and I never posted any reports so please forgive me for sloppy mistakes. I lost my notes so I'm writing from memory...


"ABM with a twist"

MANA:19
2 City of Brass
2 Gemstone Mine
2 Undiscovered Paradise
5 Plains
4 Island
1 Swamp
R Strip Mine
R Sol Ring
R Mox Diamond
ENGINE:11
4 Land Tax
4 Scroll Rack
2 Zuran Orb
1 Trade Routes
BEATS:7
2 Whirlpool Warrior
2 Mystic Enforcer
2 Devout Witness
1 Gorilla Shaman
BOARD CONTROL:13
4 Force of Will
1 Misdirection

TUTORS:4

STUFF:6
R Yawgmoth's Will

Sideboard:15
1 Ivory Tower
1 Chains of Memphistoteles
2 Propaganda
2 Back to Basics
2 Extract
1 Misdirection
1 Words of Worship
1 Zur's Wierding
1 Seal of Cleansing
1 Cop. Red
1 Black Vise

I have to explain some cards:
 
Psionic Blast: I traded my Meddling Mages some time ago, and I couldn't borrow them so I had to get something to replace them. Actually they were great in this deck, nobody expect them ''
Chains of Memph: This metagame is (usually) focused to control, so MD Chains is good call, and I knew there would be atleast 4 combo decks coming so...
 
SideBoard:
Words of Worship: Combo with Zur's Wierding, and surpricenly good against aggro...

OK, to the raport...

1.st round Tornikoski playing PandeBurst
 I go first and play first turn T.Crypt, 3rd and 4th turn Devout Witnesses. He cant combo me out before I kill him with Witnesses.
 I side +1 Zur's wierding 2 Extract 1 Seal of Cleansing 1 Chains of Memphistoteles - 1 Swords 1 Fire 1 Balance 1 ZOrb 1 Merchant's Scroll
Second game was quickly over; he used Attunement few times, get 2 Bursts and Pandemonium in graveyard, and play Intuition for Replenish, gives a turn, he scoops short after when I remove his graveyard with T.Crypt.

1-0 2-0

2nd Round Lyytikäinen R/G beats
His deck is too fast, because I'm stupid enough to activate his Hidden Gibbons when I get rid of his Fanatic. Oh well, I deserve to lost...
 I side +2 Propaganda 1 Ivory Tower 1 Words of Worship, -1 Chains 1 B2B 1 T.Crypt 1Trade Routes
In a second game I play fast Propaganda that keeps him at bay because he is manascrewd. When he draws enough lands to attack with his horde, I ZOrb-Balance all lands and creatures. He scoops on a Enforcer 2 turns later...
 3rd game I got 3rd turn Propaganda, he plays Mogg Fanatic and Recless Charge it (16). I play 4th turn second Propaganda, he plays another Recless Charge on Fanatic(12) and Pup. I'm at low mana, so I topdeck Land Tax. He attacks with his Pup(10). I get some land and topdeck Ivory Tower, This is looking pretty good on me, but... He attacks his Pup(8), Incinerate me(5), Fanatics me (4) and kills me with Fireblast(0). ''

1-1 3-2

3rd round Niinistö U/Rphidian
This was most boring matchup in tournament. I keeped hand containing Gemstone Mine,Plains,Land Tax and Scroll Rack. My Land Tax was counttered and my lands Stripped and Wasted. Scoop...
Second game manascrew...

1-2 3-4

4th round Virkkula Pox
1st turn Scroll Rack, second turn Land Tax, he Poxes, I shoot 3 Psi-Blast at him, he dies.
2nd game quite similar, exept I played Mystic Enforcer after Pox...

2-2 5-4

5th round Muroke ProsBloom
This was easy matchup, I countered all card rawings, He takes like 17 damages his Mana Crypt and City, I kill him with Psi-Blast...
I saw his sideboard before tournament so I knew he sided 4 Negators and 4 Juggernauts, so I left removal in...
In second game he plays 1st turn Negator, witch I counter, I play land go for 3 turns, he plays 2nd turn Negator, I Psi-Blast it and he chooses to leave it as a only permanent, He scoops when I play Enforcer and tutor ZOrb.

3-2 7-4

In final standings I was 9th with tiebrakers...

Props:
Rozetta- for winning the Tournament
Preatcher- for been second
NaClhv- for amazing deck

slops
