The pre-tournament story:
The night before the tournament my wife and I met some friends at a party in Genk. The beer and the bubbles where very cheap so off course she got drunk and I knew she would keep me awake all night long being sick and wandering through the house. So I send a textmessage to the teammate who I would be traveling with that I would not make it. At 4 in the morning I finaly fall asleep and he calls me on my cellphone. Off course I don't pick up and try to fall asleep again. Around 9 inb the morning textmessage wakes me up. I fall back asleep, but with the sun being up, I decide to just go to the tournament. I've got an hour to get there and its a 45 minute drive.
I arrive at the tournament and there are only 17 people fighting for a mox jet and byes for Bazaar of moxen. The organisers guaranteed the prize, but we will be playing 6 rounds of swiss and top 4 (allthough top 8 gets prizes. So they gave away a jet, FBB plateau, 2 savannah, 4 vindicate and 4 goblin lackey (best unpowered) with only 17 people. And its not organised by a shop of something, but a private initiative of some dedicated people. So thanx again for MCM for the tournaments and I hope in the future more people will show up like in the good old days.
the report:
Round one against Matthi. very nice guy playing I think jace control with a lot of REB after sideboard.
G1 I resolve a first turn ancestral, we both counter a few key threats of the other guy, but we both don't advance, he gets a jace into play and my hand is twister, robot and 2 mana against his 2 cards. So i cast the twister because I can't keep up with the advantage jace gives him. I get a decent hand, play control for 2 turns and then storm for lethal.
G2 He has a very slow hand. I get fastbond, play will, we have a counterwarr over a deglamer he casts on fastbond in response on will, I win the counterwar and easily storm for lethal.
Round 2 against Jens playing Madness.
G1 he's in controll, but I get a tinker fo colossus through. He gets 2 turns to find bounce (2 rootwallas chumping) but he doesn't find it.
G2 I open with mox, mox, crypt lotus, thoughtseize, fact or fiction repeal tinker for blightsteel against his board of only a bazaar. The robot gets there.

G2 is also a very quick tendrills win.

G1 is easy I gush in response of his tangle wire triggers, counter everything that could do damage and tendrills.
