OMGWTFHORSEYBIRD 9th

Holy shit for the 2nd time, this time i was playing in a group of 162 people. All for the glory of trying to qualify for the nationals this coming August 19-20. I don't know how many people will end up reading this tourney report but hey i might as well.

Legend:
Beach house
*see previous post

Fungus Fire
basically this deck is R/G/W and has quite a good mana acceleration plan, it kills pretty fast using godo, the bandit lord and fetching an umezawa's jitte or a tatsumasa. It also packs alot of life gain spells such as lighting helixes and loxodon heirarchs.

U/G/W aggro
*see previous post, this was the same kid, the one who played Grand Arbiter Agustine VI

Sizzetron
This deck basically plays control, it uses the urza lands for great mana production and uses big beatdown creatures like Simic, Sky Swallower and spells like Demon Fire for the kill.

RG beats
Basically traditional RG beats, burning tree shaman, dryad sophisticates, moldervine cloaks and the likes.

Azorious Control Aggro
this deck was very unique i never really saw what it had in the main board but posst board this deck packs azorious guildmages and keigas. it also has a number of counters.

White Weenie
Isamaru, Savannah lions, Glorious Anthems, Devouring light and the likes.

Selesnya/ enduring Ideal
This deck struck me weird, having Heirarchs and Yosei's for beats and uses an Enduring ideal side combo.

Win
Game 2
I played a half baked manplan. He played an azorious guildmage, then out tapped for a keiga after I played vinelasher kudzu twice coz of remands and had it condemned. Then played a Giant Solifuge to which he dealt with with keiga. Unfortunately the turn he played keiga down and was at 16 life, I ripped my combo. Maga FTW.

he had a god draw even after drawing one less. he casted an Isamaru followed by 2 Savannah Lions and then a glorious anthem killing me in a matter of 4 turns.
Loss
Game 3
I had switched to a half baked manplan, and was able to play a Simic Sky Swallower for the beat down. I did play a well timed Savage twister dealing with his little 2/2 friends.
Win
Current Standing 5-1-1

Round 8 vs Lorenz Cortezo Selesnya/ Enduring Ideal
*I accidentaly spat in his face before the round, like a drop of saliva hit him in the face. Probably ticked him off especially when I gloriously declined his offer to just give him the match haha FAT CHANCE!!*
Game 1
He was up 3 when I ripped the combo on him. Maga was able to do the trick just fine.
Win
Game 2
He had 2 heirarchs getting him upto 28 life. It was a tough one. and when I pulled the maga in he was left with 6 life, he was however able to confiscate the damned thing and I lost to a 22/22 monster of a maga.
Loss
Game 3
He was at 28 and I simply ripped the combo at him, he wasnt able to respond and I get to win this one.
Win
Current Standing: 6-1-1

OverAll: I played a good tournament and won alot. I ended up at 9th out of 162 players. I guess my ratings are going up but still not to qualilfy despite being so damned close to doing so crushes me. Oh yeah I promised myself one thing here. Before rounds 7 and 8 I prayed and said I definitely will stop being an atheist if I win both rounds so i guess I will have to live up to that. Atheist no more. But hell that dude up there has a way of getting to me, getting me at 9th damn it. He really is a pretty shrewd guy. Anyway that was another edition of Heartbeatsss at the qualifiers. Thanks for reading =)
