Well, one day my friends and I sat down to have a small tournament. It was
type 2, and we were playing draft style. Tournament consisted of me
(Nether-Go), Nick (Fires), Bon (U/W Control), and Steve (Snuff-o-Derm). Here
is the deck I played:
9 Island
6 Swamp
4 Underground River
4 Salt Marsh
4 Nether Spirit
2 Thrashing Wumpus
4 Snuff Out
4 Counterspell
3 Fact or Fiction
3 Exclude
4 Probe
2 Misdirection
4 Recoil
3 Lobotomy
4 Undermine
We opted not to use sideboards. It turns out that I play Steve first.
Game 1: He jumps at me with a couple of Jade Leeches and Quirion Elves, but
his Snuff Outs are at bay with my all-black arsenal. He gets me low on life,
until I draw a couple of Snuff Outs and Thrashing Wumpus. I ride Wumpus and
Spirit to victory.
Game 2: I get mana screwed, as I stayed with 2 Lobotomies in my hand. He
gets Leeches and 'derms out and beats me.
Game 3: Pretty much the same as game 1. The Snuff Outs really hurt him, and
Nether Spirit brings home the win.
2-1
Next up is Nick, playing Fires.
Game 1: His deck is really strong. He gets a ton of acceleration, and gets
out Fires of Yavimaya and Saproling Burst for the victory. I didn't see 1
creature.
Game 2: I get a great hand, and he is severely screwed when I Lobotomy his
Fires (sorry Nick!). He doesn't draw too much fat, and then he eventually
did what every Misdirection-user dreams of: cast a 10-point Urza's Rage on
me, only to have me Misdirect it back to him. I win.
Game 3: I get a quick start and Lobotomy his Saproling Burst. I drew 3
Undermines in the game, which probably helped me out in the victory. Wumpus
brings it and I win.
4-2
And finally I play Bon, who is playing U/W Control.
Game 1: I knew I had a great chance coming into this, because Nether-Go
beats U/W Control. There must have been 6 Fact or Fictions cast in this
game, it was card-drawing madness, and when i Excluded his Jewelled Spirit,
he scooped.
Game 2: On turn 3 I try playing a Nether Spirit because I dont have anything
else to do, and he counters it. Nice move, Bon. Next turn, I Lobotomy him.
He has a 6-card hand and no counter? I take his kill card (the Jeweled
Spirit) and win.
Game 3: He tries to Fact or Fiction 3 times, each time I counter it.
Undermines really hurt him, and Nether Spirit and Thrashing Wumpus bring it.
I win.
6-2
Sweet I win, here are the final standings:
Me: 6-2
Nick: 4-4
Steve: 3-5
Bon: 1-7 (bad day, huh bon)
