Same as last week's, but I added a SB Thoughtseize
R1 vs Brad on 4C Vengevine (2-1, 1-0)
G1 lose to double Vengevine, early Bridge from Below tokens. Tried to turn 2 kill my reanimated Bloodghast, but had milled both Blood Crypts!!!
G2 we both had Leyline
His weenies came out, but I found my Assassin's Trophy and was able to go nuts
G3 I had Leyline, he didn't, I did my thing
R2 vs Tim on Infect (2-1, 2-0)
Not particularly fast G1
G2 we're both slow, then he pumps a Glistener Elf with D Strike, Groundswell, M of OK, has Vines to prevent my Darkblast. I drew all 4 Nature's Claims that I boarded in.
G3 Cut 2 Claims, he sees a Spellskite which doesn't really matter. Though he declined to block an Amalgam for some reason?
R3 vs Bill on mono G Tron (2-1, 3-0)
G1 got him before anything could happen -
G2 he mulls to 5 cards incl. Grafdigger's Cage + no lands. Turn 2 topdecks a Forest and I lose. Manages to draw into enough mana for a Wurmcoil and an Ulamog
G3 he mulls to 5, but loses without no Cage, and I have a Ancient Grudge waiting in the wings for any relevant artifact
R4 vs Tim R on BW Pox (ID, 3-0-1)
We played a game, got him good
Then I swapped over to Fevered Visions and manage to cheese him out twice! Fun deck. List here: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1568068#paper
Thoughts:
- Deck is still powerful and unfair.
- I pretty much only lose when opponents have their GY hate. But then, if I believe that opponents will mulligan aggressively for GY hate, then my next level should be to mulligan semi-aggressively for GY-hate-hate. It's possible that a skilled opponent (or an unwitting one) may then further next-level me by not keeping a hand with GY hate, and just try to do their thing.
- I looked up a sideboard guide after this event. Apparently they take out a couple Shriekhorns in every matchup, which makes sense - Shriekhorn does nothing vs hate and doesn't help find hate unlike the cantrips.
