Let me start out by saying I am sorry this tourny report took so long to get postedr, my schedule has been filled by work,wife,testing, and the occasional Budweiser! Things might be a little fuzzy but I am going to try and do my best here!
May 24th:
So alot of things happened the night before but nothing out of the ordinary other than deciding on what deck to play. I decided to play flash because it had kinda died down in the meta and quite frankly i wasent sure if people were even ready for it anymore, im sure painter has a good match but it wasent until this event that painter established itself in the new england meta! So i crash at my buddy micah's house with the usual suspects my homey Barry Everson, and my tight compadre tj. Little did i know how the next morning could almost change my life forever......
So we wake up and everything seems normal, we all want dunkin donuts so while me tj and the driver James are shaking off the cobwebs, in a three minuet span James runs over a lawn, hits a tree, and almost carjacks a honda(he went to get into "his car" and he didnt realize the silver honda civic looks nothing like his green Monte Carlo!). So frazzled/grateful i get to the tourney just in time to get my decklist in. The list is posted under ELD's top 8 report for the time walk.
Alrighty then! without further adeu! here comes the report.
Round 1: the bye!!! Seems good for the flash deck
1-0-0
Round 2: Demonic Attorney playing painter
Game one he plays volcanic go, i flash he blasts io force he forces i pact of blue GG's.
Game 2: i keep an abysmal mox ruby double reverant silence hand for a reason i still cannot figure out- i lose
Game 3: he keeps double leyline nothing else. turn 1 i mox ruby tropical island ehoing truth his leylines, turn 2 i win.
2-0-0
round 3 Ollie playing ms paint
game one i dont keep a turn one or turn two kill, he grinds me turn 3 with counter backup
game 2: same thing happens
2-1-0
Round 4 James: the man who almost killed me this morning ; /
Game one i turn one flash double pact backup
Game 2: was very close it involved both of us resolving recall and brainstorming i dropped a virlulent sliver and he dropped an oath, he got to oath the next turn i flashed and won.
3-1-0
round 4 corey fraser
We were both in a position to draw in so we did.
Alright now for the top 8! it happens to be 7 painter decks and me?! gonna have to fight the good fight if i want that coveted time walk!
Top 8:
Quarters Nick Rodriguez
Game 1: i have turn 1 flash with pact backup so i keep, he opens with volcanic go. turn 1 i flash he redblasts i pact he forces i lose to my upkeep next turn.
Game 2 was savage! he opened with leyline of the void and i dont have an answer for it all game, turn 1 i drop a poison sliver and start the beats! i go on a series of countering trinkets and painters and eventually summoners pact for a second poison sliver to put him on a one turn clock, he draws i win!
Game 3: this one is foggy to me but i remember not drawing a force of will and him gushbonding into yawg will! He gets the goldfish i lose!
So i finish 5th with maybe three days playtesting this deck, i received nothing but good things, so i continue to play this deck.
