After a quick bite to eat at the Spaghetti Factory we went back to the hotel room and chilled then went to sleep. Woke up got ready got some new sleeves and we were off.
Round 10 Steven Stadnicki with Jund Cascade I figured I would start seeing these decks more on day 2 since they had been at the top tables all day. I keep a fairly quick hand of dudes and glorious anthem. He ends up being manascrewed and we are off to game 2. I mulligan to 5 and he comes out quick. Putrid Leech into Finks into Bloodbraid hitting pulse on my spectral and Im pretty much done for. Game 3 was really close. I had mirrorweave underneath my heights and had cloudgoat and friends a cenn and 2 spirit tokens. I swing in he doesnt block, he then bituminous blast my ranger, I let cascade resolve and he hits anathemancer(does his 2 damage) and he doesnt block. I activate heights with the blast on the stack copy my cenn and my dudes are huge and lethal. 2-1 overall 8-2
Round 11 Jamie Park with Nassif GBR Elves I knew he was playing some sort of elf deck after talking with Owen because he played him the first day. I knew he had colossal might as a blowout. Game 1 was going back and forth and creatures. I played Cloudgoat ranger to get blockers and potential lethal for the next turn. He goes to attack and has 2 cards in hand. I assume he has the colossal might so my block was correct, but he also had nameless inversion to trample over enough for lethal. Didnt see that coming! Game 2 was pretty similar we went back and forth with some guys. Im pretty sure this turn was where I messed up. I needed to play Cloudgoat Ranger so I could go on the more aggressive side(I had double anthem) so I wouldnt get blown out by fallout ect. His next turn he untaps lays his land and shows me chaotic backlash. I counted my white permenants and scooped it up. If I dont play the ranger that turn I probably live but would not have enough pressure on him. He still had 4 cards in hand. 0-2 overall 8-3
Round 12 Joey Zappelli playing BW Tokens. Dont recall much from this round except that this matchup is pretty much impossible since we have no general removal. 1-2 overall 8-4
At the point I cannot lose another match if I want to make some money.
Round 13 Tyler Blum playing Red Deck Wins. The first 2 game were very lopsided for both of us. Game 3 was an actual game. We went back and forth with some guys, he seemed to draw lots of Boggart Ram Gangs. He had a 4/4 Figure on the table also. Our life totals were tied at 10. He had no cards in hand and I passed turn. I didnt have anything strong in hand for tricks so he draws his card and hits the nuts because his facial feature was priceless. He taps 4 and plays EMBER GALE!1!!! WTF who plays that card in standard. Anyways I lose to a draft card and am out of money contention. 1-2 overall 8-5 At this point I could have dropped but I had nothing better to do and still played.
Round 14 Robert Berni with 5 color control. Not much happened here. I was able to race him game 1. Game 2 I blew him out with negate twice on cruel and cryptic command. 2-0 overall 9-5
Round 15 Corey Joffrion with Esper Lark. I sit down and have no opponent. He then shows up last minute in a panic and tells me his deck had been stolen. He runs up to the front and luckily someone had turned it in. This is a first time that someone in the magic community is not scum. Anyways we shuffle up and my opponent mulligans to 4 and 5 both games and I have explosive starts and I win a matchup that I shouldnt have won. 2-0 overall 10-5
So I finished in 92nd place out of 1145. I liked the deck, but would not play the blue part ever again. It is just too weak against other token decks.
