Game 1 I can't assemble the combo and he just smashes me.
Game 2 I see some anti-hate cards, but he has nothing and I combo out.
Game 3 he sees multiple pieces, I have nothing anyways, and I get smashed again.
Round 2 vs Nick on mono R burn (1-2, 0-2)
Uh wasn't able to assemble the combo and died.
In game 2 or 3 I was able to gain 11 life turn 1 but didn't find anything else.
Didn't see any hate cards from him.
Round 3 vs Nate on mono B "devotion" (2-1, 1-2)
Saw Gifted Aetherborn, Vampire Nighthawk, Phyrexian Obliterator
Close games, but his messing about with creatures was inferior to doing a silly reanimator combo.
Round 4 bye
Feels bad
Thoughts:
- Well I'm writing this up about two weeks later, but nothing really happened. At about a 2:1 ratio I either didn't find the combo and lost or I found the combo and won.
- Store had a lot of kids and younger crowd, which is good for them. Eastern Hills Mall on the other hand seemed kind of depressing with the low levels of activity, including a gutted Sears at the end of the corridor.
- I think they were running really short rounds, since I went to time almost every match? Maybe 40 minutes, maybe even a little less. Quite annoying, honestly.
- To top it off, the event was run through Wizards' event system as a casual event, so I only got 1 Planeswalker Point. PPs aren't a huge deal to me but running events as casual with no points kind of rubs me the wrong way.
