Last night, I went to the War Room to engage in another Friday Night Magic tournament, but I was expecting company. Apollo was on vacation and was visiting Marietta. So, I invited him to FNM and he showed. He didn't have a deck, so I let him use my Balancing Tings deck. I don't remember the exact details of his matches, but he got beat down by Psychatog in the first two rounds, won against a rogue Psychatog deck, and then lost against a U/W/G rogue deck.
He told me that he had a great time and I got him to sign a Commander Eesha for me(to add to my CPA signed cards collection). Unfortunately, I forgot to bring a Ransack for me to sign for him. I may have to mail one to him when he returns home.
Okay, my tourney report. I went 2-2, but I didn't expect much because I hadn't played in a Type 2 tourney since Judgment became legal and didn't know what to expect. Plus, I didn't have all of the things for the deck, so I'm pleased with what I did. Oh, and I forget the names of my opponents.
First round: R/G New Madness(me) vs. Rogue Green
Game 1:1st turn elf. I get mongrel 2nd turn, discard Anger, Roar and two Rootwallas. 3rd turn I play the wurm and he scoops.
Game 2: No green mana and I get my oink handed to me on a platter.
Game 3: Basically game one all over again.
1-0: 2-1
Second Round: Me vs. U/W/G Rogue
This was who Apollo lost to his last round
Game 1: He gets stalled on mana and I burn all his elves to the ground.
Game 2: He manages to live long enough to cast Mirari's Wake and two Phantom Nishobas. I scoop.
Game 3: Another 3rd turn scoop for one of my opponents.
2-0: 4-2
Third Round: Me vs. U/G/B
Game 1: I beat him before he could draw into any black mana sources. Plus, his only green sources where Y. Coasts. He scooped after five turns.
Game 2: I've never seen a deck like this before and he stomps me completely. It wasn't unpredictable, but I've never seen anyone take the time to build a decks with as many expensive cards as this one had.
Game 3: I surprised him by siding in Kavu Chameleons. He didn't expect them at all, judging by the expressing on his face. But, Chainer's Edicts took care of them. Eventually, his COTHs and Spiritmonger's beat the leaving poop-dumplings out of me.
2-1: 5-4
Round Four: Me vs. U/G Madness
Game 1: He gets decimated by turn four.
Game 2: I couldn't find Mongrel and I get run over by several Wurm tokens.
Game 3: This had the most irritating moment of the night. If I won this match, I had a chance at Top 4. I got him down to 3 before his army appeared and, after slowly destroying my forces, got me down to 4. I lick my lips and draw into what I hope is either a Violent Eruption or a Fiery Temper. It's a Llanowar Elf. So, like the good sport that I am, I flashback the firebolt to get him to 1 and extend my hand in congratulatory defeat. I then decided to see how far away a win condition was. I flip over the top card of my deck and it was.............a Fiery Temper. NOOOOOOOOOOO! If I had the capability to have ONE MORE TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY DEFEAT!!!!!! IT HURTS, MOM!!!! IT HURTS!!!!!!!!!
2-2: 6-6
So then, after regaining consciousness, I say goodbye to Apollo, who had to leave, and I watch the finals. Turns out that the two people that beat me had to play each other in the first round of the finals(more swear words emanating in my mind from the Player in me, who had momentarily subdued the Sportsman in me). The person who beat me in the 3rd round won and then promptly lost in the finals against an Opposition deck(SQUIRRELS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!).
Well, that's all for this report.
