2/22/15 Catching up on the MTG

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in a couple of weeks.  I got the flu on 2/8/15, and still haven't quite yet recovered.

This is the deck I played at Gamescape Game Day.  14 people showed up.

Match 1:  UW Heroic.   2-0

Match 2:  4 color control.  2-0 (I think)

Match 3:   Temur midrange 0-2

Match 4:   Jeskai tokens 2-0

Semifinals:   Mardu tokens 0-2

5 packs, and the 'Sup, Plant Form? promo for my effort. Meh.

I didn't feel healthy enough to do a second day of Game Day at Its Your Move Games (a place I haven't been before) or Comic Cards Etc (another place I haven't been before).

Here's some draft info from the past two weeks.  Comments are on the tapped out links.

2/7/15 Lazy Saturday (FRF-KTK-KTK draft 2-1)

Went to Versus Games to draft with some friends at the 4 pm draft.  I was supposed to get there for the 1 pm draft, but got up kinda late and was slow getting out the door.  :\

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/2015-02-08-15-drifting-into-mardu-2-1/

Round 1:  Lost to Temur big stuff.   First game when I played Zurgo, he had disdainful stroke, but I still won.   Second game I had Zurgo, but he had Sandsteppe Mastodon.  Ugh.  Third game he just had bigger creatures than mine, and I couldn't get through. 

Round 2:  Won vs. Mardu stuff.   My opponent was very nice but she was pretty new to the game.  She had some good cards in her deck, though.

Round 3:   Won vs. Abzan durdles.  First game was pretty epic, with me getting stuck on no black mana until turn 15.   He tried to race my 7/6 Abzan Battle priest with Ivorytusk Fortress and tokens.    My battle priest survived a Kill Shot (Feat of Resistance) and Harsh Sustenance (War Flare).   Then he played a Rakshasa Deathdealer and I was in trouble.   Once I drew my swamps I was able to whittle down his board.   Second game I lost to land screw.    Third game I tried to take to the air with Silumgar, but a block with Longshot Squad + Windstorm (2 for 1'ing himself) got me down.  Then I realized he had Kill Shot too, so I had to play around it by not attacking until I drew other gas to put into play.

I Rakshasa's Secret'd him when he had 3 cards in hand, figuring I would never make him get down to exactly 2 cards.   He discarded Return to the Earth and a land.   So he was still holding Kill Shot in hand. 

Opponent conceded at this point because he said he was sick. 

2/6/15 Don't try this at home kids (FRF-KTK-KTK draft 0-1)

Went to Gamescape North for an FRF-KTK-KTK draft. 

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/2015-02-07-esper-misery-draft-0-1-drop/

I won the first game, lost the second game.  The match got called at that point.  My opponent tells me he'll scoop to me, but I tell him I'll drop instead.  I didn't feel like playing any more games with this deck.
