Round 1: Mono-W Death and Taxes
Game 1: He keeps me off my lands with waste and port, serra avengers quickly seal the deal (L)
IN: 3 wear//tear, 3 pyrokinesis
OUT: 3 thalia, 2 piledriver, 1 stingscourger
Game 2: lackey -> chieftains + marshal -> chieftain kills him turn 4 (W)
Game 3: He plays a veteran armorer (unexpected), followed by stoneforge, a batterskull and a jitte. I dont draw my artifact hate and die (L)
0-1
Cards I wanted: Anarchy, tuktuk scrapper
Round 2: Fish
Game 1: he gets flooded, barely plays anything. Goblin swarm ends this pretty fast. (W)
IN: 2 wear//tear
OUt: stingscourger, goblin sharpshooter
Game 2: I get stuck on 2 colorless lands, but double vial keeps me going. he plays a ratchet bomb, but decides not to kill my vials so he can keep his cursecatchers. He gets out three lords, but war marshals followed by krenko allow me to stall until i deal 21 in one turn. (W)
1-1
Cards I wanted: -nothing-
Round 3: UWR Miracle/Top/Counterbalance
Game 1: lackey goes nuts, and double cavern lets me play through his counterspells. He dies turn four without much resistance. (W)
IN: 2 Pithing Needle, 3 wear//tear
OUT: stingscourger, goblin sharpshooter, 1 tarfire, 2 gempalm incinerator
Game 2: He counters some stuff, I play needle on top and stick a thalia. He entreats for 1, but thalia's first strike and tarfire precombat deal with that. Hes at 5 and plays humility, and i grind out the last 5 with 1/1s. (W)
2-1
Cards I wanted: -nothing-
Round 4: Mirror!
Game 1: he has the nuts and kills me before i can do much. (L)
IN:3 Pyrokinesis, 1 wear//tear
OUT: stingscourger, 3 thalia
Game 2: I have the nuts and he dies before doing much (W)
Game 3: A long, grindy game where the board stalls for a couple turns as i topdeck lands and he topdecks aether vials. I play krenko and get 1 activation before he dies, getting me 7 tokens. I swing with my new army for a while, then he plays siege-gang commander and kills my non-token creatures. After a few more turns of nothing, i get lucky and hit ringleader into chieftain and matron (tutoring another chieftain) and close it out. (W)
3-1
Cards I wanted: more pyrokinesis
At this point there is one round left to play, and im in 8th place with 9 points. Unfortunately, the person in 9th also has 9 points, so I have to play out round 5 instead of drawing into t8 (if the person in 9th wins his match and I draw mine, i have 10 points to his 12 and am out of t8)
Round 5: RUG delver
Game 1: 3 three stifles in a row keep me from playing anything useful, with a flipped delver swinging each turn. Im unable to do much and die to double bolt (L)
IN: 2 rest in peace, 2 relic of progenitus
OUT: 1 tarfire, 1 goblin sharpshooter, 2 gempalm incinerator
Game 2: I start well with thalia and marshal and get him down to 8, but double threshold-ed mongoose keep me from finishing. He plays 2 goyfs, and I fail to stick hate (relic gets stifled and rip gets spell snared), and die soon after (L)
3-2
Cards I wanted: leyline of the void/some other uncounterable hate
All in all, a good first legacy event and I was pretty pleased with the deck. Ill be taking it to a 1k in a few weeks, maybe with a few changes
also, any sideboarding advice would we welcome. thanks!
