Dr. Edge at BOM 5

hi guys , Small report for the people that care.
After good preparation with Dennis, Timo and his Dredge guys , Adan AK: Captain Obvious and especially Roberto Moroni I decide to bring Dredge to both events for the heck of it.
Legacy had no intention to go far just wanted to train the different triggers and shit you can do with the mechanisms of the deck and get some very nice conclusions.
You guys have around 6 cards in hand and some deck manipulation I have 30+ cards in a grave and a lot of small things matter in the end, and can fast add up to a loss, play them correct and your deck will be your friend.

Legacy is fast story win 4 lose to goblins and two enchantresses but my good friend and roomate Oliver will march into the finals and that's good enough for me.
3 hrs of sleep should be enough with two byes i can start the tournament relaxed.
Off we go and scout out the Mirrors we could play and check what the top players play, Ruggero and I see a lot of mirrors we could face. The byes are super fantastic and we are well prepaired we play different lists as we vary in play style a little but off we go.

All scouting was worth it we both start with a mirror:

ROUND 3: my opponennt saldy is Ruggero sucks but shit happens
We talk about splits/conceds draws and decide its better for both if we play it. no splits no problems off we go.

[/deck]

I feel slightley superior as I run more lands and more leyline hate. I win the roll but let Ruggero star. He wonders why but I want him to get as much cards as he deserves = as few as possible. We woth start with leyline and I get lands after him, he only has field and Shitmore Salvage I fastly find city field and with paradise I get my Imps online, Chalice at one from him stucks my blast but with three imps online he scoops.
Second game he start with leyline and bazzar I have solution and bazzar but no leyline, his second bazaar ends it fairly fast.
g3 I fan out following 7:
2 Bazaars, 2 city of Brass, Troll and BINGO TWO leylines.
I start dredging and he scoobs as he does not want other people to know what we play, thanks for that!
3:0

R4: I might confuse some of the mid round opponent sorry for that
He mulligans to five and gets smashed fast by my zombies I see steel sabotage trygons. thus I get the idea he is noble and in come the firestorms. he start with tropical go and I get scared about Stifle waste one my bazaar followed by a second turn relic which would end it maybe fast so I plan B City oif brass go he draws three cards from recall and plays a gof in his turn EOT I Firestorm for three on goyf discarding 3 dregers sadly he has daze , I would have loved to kill a goyf Smile dredge into a lot of shit and a fat Troll, he draws and dies the turn after.
4:0

R5: Red Staxx he mulls into a stripmine but i have field and find a bazaar in the bazaar, gg.
g2 he struggels to find some helpful stuff with bazaar welder but does not find anything my guys coem visit him on a regular basis.

R6: Mirror with a Shitstitcher list.
he crys with the first turn leyline and as I cast my firt guy he scoops.
g2 I have no leyline and his doble bazar does the work.
g3 we both have bazaars but he is bit unlucky as he misses one dreger my terastodon takes care of the bazaar and I will win it soon.
hey 6:0 this is getting interesting.

Round 7:
Spanish guy with gush that meet terastodon for his Fastbond he stroggles but its not enough I win it.
g2 he starts U sea go I bazaar he EOT vampirc, and plays a jailer for whom I do not have a solution yet. he EOT a Mystical on tinker and Blightsteel will win it to him
g3: he smashes me with God hand, he says we will see us in top 8 and I respond that I will be there for him. he sadly will not make it in the end.

6:1

Round 8 something Jace controlish win g1 fairly fast and g2 he is not very happy with his hand I saw relics in the board and a confi in g1 so my storms come in,I can not remember if he actually had anything or not but I win it farily fast 7:1

I can not draw into t1 and get paired for yet another mirror.
I Start partying a I feel suppirior in the mirror as I allready won two and I think he does not have leylines.
but am not to shure about it.

he decides to take a mulligan and I powder, I draw into a leyline hand and he shuffles and takes the six, after that he looks at the serum powder which contained two Bazaars and starts crying i show him lelyine and a beater off to game two.

we both don't have a leyline but he has two bazaars and Sphinx which end it fast. g3 he might overrun me but is unluky in dredging once and I find a terastodon to take care of his bazaar. With briges being removed constatly I need to full my bord fast, I will finaly win it with killing his blockers with dredged blasts and terastodon go beeting, with one card in my library, lots of math to do. 9 rounds I am super happy to be in top8 as second of swiss.

Three hrs of sleep sadly start to get feelable I will have concentration issus in the following games but i do not care I am one of the best in field of 383 players at an fantastic organized event but will try my best.

too be continued for the top8:

1 - Rohner, Omar [ESP] - 24 - TurboTezzeret
2 - Lessman, Richard [GER] - 24 - Dredge
3 - Gonzalez Encabo, Dario [ESP] - 24 - Gush Storm
4 - Stanoev, Ivan [CZE] - 24 - Painters
5 - Lindström, Martin R [SWE] - 24 - MUD
6 - Lorenzo, Fedeli [ITA] - 24 - Tezzeret
7 - Gonzalez, Ruben [ESP] - 23 -Gush Remora
8 - Wild, Patrick [CHE] - 23 - Dredge

So I get some food and drink till I have to get seated with Ruben Gonzalez I do not remeber much of all the games and I hope I do not mix up to much.

off we go top8 at BOM I win the dices and start with my bazaar.
he fetches and puts tropical into play tap for blue I see a Preodain in his hand he wants to cast but then decided to go get another land which I do not permit. very unhappy with that decision I think he had a good hand against me and could have combo soon. I only have one therapy in grave and want it to hit lethaly he lets it resolve and I named demonic tutor which he had to discard, I will win soon after that.
(In the rounds I also nominated vampric tutor with my opp having three cards in hadn of which two I knew, he thought about playing something for a split second and was shocked when I nominated vampiric. Also here I accompanied my therapy with a "Therapy out of Hell Shout")

game two goes back and forth and after a twister, I kill all his lands with my terastodon but the tokens come and visit me till I am very low on life. I have no land drop and no ichorids somehow and can not beat him lethally. I miscall therapy, and sadly boarded one out thus I can not get the tendrils he has in hand. upkeep he tutors for lotus with land drop its GG for him. I received a warning and now need to be more carefull.

off we go to g3 in which he presents a fast Jailer which get handled by my firestorm i think he cast an other one right away but I managed to land three tokens and a 6/6 troll that come visit him on a regular basis. As I have nothing to fear for the moment I don't use my bazaar in case he would want to reset mi in the next turn.
fair enough I win it short after as he has to block my troll with his jailer.

thanks a lot for the game sorry for the being so picky and missing so many triggers myself. 3hrs of sleep are why to few and Lorenzo is also happy that I do not want to start right away for the semifinal and so we take a short break.

Semifinals: Lorenzo Fedeli
he's a very well known Italian player but in all the years I go to Italy I never had to play him but I know from the beginning this will be an intense one.

G1 he Mulligans correctly into a fast hand with some speed but sadly does not get help from his deck and keeps on a 5 card non optimal hand.
I on the other hand I do what I have to do and win it fairly fast.

G2: we go back and forth I get rid of his jailer but his board and draw situation is fairly intense to be honest I have resetted the games shortly after with a couple of bears I only know that he won it super tight with one of the last possible draws. i think it was the game where he casts a Tezz and goes for a vault in response I kill his key. I should have killed the key in activation. but I thought he only run one key so i thought it did not really matter. with lots of deck manipulation he finds another key for the win.

G3: Was even more ridiculous. he only starts with a confidant which I could darkblast but he reveals high casting costs and I do some minor damage.
he passes the turn and I think of blasting him but decide not to and keep it open as I have three ghasts and a ichoird in grave if he next trun reveals something for one he get overrun with my haste guys.
Sadly he does not revel a damage and i time walk him again, the extra card he got was lethhal but I did not want to kill my bridges as I had three.

I am still not shure whether i had a correct play, a reveal for one would have let me one. but he revels a fetchland.

Actually I wanted to name the fetch with the therapy as it annoyed me so much but well that's life you can not target lands.

the next turn deck manipulation and zero mana on the table leave him with tapped vault and a hardcast key on the table. one cards left in hand.

He will kill me with his landrop which sadly is the free Flooded Starnd I gave him with confidant and could not therapy.

Lorenzo will not win the final but very compliments to him anyway.
