Round 1: Dennis with Doomsday GWSx stile.
Game 1, I can control the game just long enough to take the win. This was due early seize and some Bob-draws that refueled my hands all the time.
Game 2, This one isn’t going that great and he has an early combo turn with me holding no more counters.
Game 3, This is a long and after some draw and go I make the mistake to resolve Jace instead of playing regrowth for a Thoughtseize to regain new information. The next turn he combo’s through dubble counter backup.
0-1
Round 2: Siebrand with Merfolk
Game 1, I win easy due to TOG in turn 7 or so.
Game 2, I have the win on the table, but with 2 confidants I need an answer to sculp my top decks.
I play Jace and say………………………….. GO. Then I flip 7 damage and I’m dead.
Game 3, Re-run of game 1, I win very easy on the back of a TOG.
1-1
Round 3: Martin with GWSx.
Game 1, I can control him just long enough to get leathel with Bob and TOG beats.
Game 2, He goes for the combo due to the fact he drew Will. With only mana and 1 Preordain in his GY. He topdecks ToA in the top 2, must be nice to live the dream.
Game 3, After some duress effects on both sides, I plan to play Tinker to Plat. This wins me the game because he could not find any solution for that.
2-1
Round 4: Paul with Belcher.
Game 1, He starts with ETW for 10. I play a bunce of mana. He attackes me to 10. Then I can Wish for Echoing Truth and the game is mine.
Game 2, I Keep a slow hand but with a solution for Belcher and ETW in hand The only thing he played during that game was Welder, after I bounced it I drained it and he could never be in the game again.
3-1
Round 5: Marius With Doomsday ported from the GP top 8 to Vintage.
Game 1, I can stop an early Show and Tell and can then proceed due to double Bob, wich draws me allot of cards to control the game and win with TOG along their side.
Game 2, I flip 2x Fow and a Wish that gives Marius an Easy Tendrils win.
Game 3, He tries a first turn Doomsday with no backup. I can FoW the BS and he scoops
4-1
At the end I think this deck was Fun to play and can be made for a bigger tournament. The upside from this deck is Wish and TOG that can help in the Fish and Stax Match-ups. Seize is no maindeck material, this needs to be Spell Pierce or spell Snare. 4 BoB is to many, 1 needs to be changed for Ponder for sure. I would also want to add 2 Intuitions and a LftL with Stripmine and Cephalid Coliseum, but space is hard to find.
For now, I hope you enjoyed the read and till next week.
