big breaks near the end of the break, happenings in the new term. (one hell of a long post)

its been a long time since i've posted anything in this blog. Apparently I've been too lazy to report my last few tournaments since they weren't too good. Recently however, i ranked 5th in a 24k standard tournament, the highest i've ranked so far. I was 1st after the swiss rounds but not everything can go according to plan now can it?

Now I'll get to the details including the decklist later, although i may not remember alot of my match ups but i'll try. Anyway as for the start of the new term, its been pretty good, the profs seem ok except for the returning Dr. Severino Diesto and his OMG-WATS-DAT-SHINY-THING-HEAD he's got. I really really hate that guy damn old gay math prof, although not everyone in the list of profs we got came out the same as who should've been, we're pretty thankful cause most has turned up better than they should be. So far I think i'm gonna have a good term, have to get those grades up to make up for last term. Anyway it also seems that TH classes are gonna rock, and no I'm not talking about our gay flip2 prof's yayanigin natin ang mundo statement (cause thats not something to consider). My TH classes start with the gay prof, he's hella gay but he's not a bad prof since he will be dishing out laughs. Next I've got INTRODB under my belt, we were supposed to have sir Oliver Malabanan but had Mr. Charles Ramos instead this guy is great and he really seems to know what he's talking about, I dont see how i would lose interest in what he's teaching. Last but not the least i've got sir Galo for relstwo, im in the class with franz, fish n tay and well its not bad, only this guy might be a real stiff when it comes to attendance but he seems like the type who can hold your interest for an hour and 30 min so i'm fine with that. And that about sums it up. MWF however pretty much sucks, well not really sucks but its just not as good as TH seems to be anyway I'll leave that for later.

Well talking about the last weekend I had before the term break ended, the last two days really rocked. First off saturday that was the day I ranked 5th in a tourney and not only that, it was the stag party of my cousin's husband to be and well lets just say drinking beer and eating and going to a club was pretty much the story there. It was my first time in a club so the experience was good to me. Now nuf said about that lets get on with the tourney report.

9-9-06 Standard Constructed 24k - Robinsons Galleria

the deck i played as i named it on the deck list is Whie Control but it should have been named as MF Snow white and the 7 dwarves for a more comical approach. hehe anyway heres the deck list:
Artifacts : 3
3 umezawa's jitte

Creatures : 25
4 kami of false hope
4 martyr of sands
4 phyrexian ironfoot (although an artifact i consider creatures as creatures so there)
3 paladin en-vec
3 yosei, the morning star
3 adarkar valkyrie
2 eight-and-a-half tails
2 kami of ancient law

Spells : 11
4 wrath of god
3 proclamation of rebirth
2 faiths fetters
2 shining shoal

Lands : 22
4 scrying sheets
2 ghost quarter
16 snow-covered plains

Sideboard:
1 hokori, dust drinker
1 boseiju
3 samurai of the pale curtain
3 jotun grunt
2 sacred ground
2 ivory mask
3 pithing needle

now this deck was made the night before the tournament, i had a sudden change of mind and lost interest in playing vore. Hence the reason why the sideboard sucks, i mean it IT SUCKS.

anyway i wasnt able to write down the decks my opponents played and i only got a few of their names but here goes anyway.

round 1 vs Jefferson Dacasin Zoo variant
match 1
i beat him down with paladin en-vec and phyrexian ironfoot
win
match 2
he got me down to 5 with random beats, after a well timed wrath of god, i beat him down with yosei and company.

round 2 vs Nick Serafica *i think he's playing 8 stone rain as the deck i saw was a sea stompy spin off.
match 1
I had a very bad draw, the game ended with me having nothing on board
loss
match 2
i gained alot of life with martyr of sands from the beginning and i beat him down with a jitte equipped creature. Jitte Deck Wins
win
match 3
he was down to 8 and i had 17 life, after a lng stand still he see's what forecast proclamation and martyr of sands can do he scoops and hands me the win.
win

round 3 vs Ranier Santiago Sizzettron
match 1
played 2 martyr of sands, gained a grand total of 24 life points, beat him with a paladin with jitte.
Win
match 2
i got beat after he played a keiga and a SSS, dealing 11 damage per turn was just too much.
Loss
match 3
i played a kami and a marytr and proceeded with eraly beating, a jitte came afterwards and thats where it ended.

round 4 vs Marcel Zafra *i cant remember
all i know was that i lost the 1st match and won the next two. I really cant remember what i fought...

i ID'd the next two rounds *ID = intentional draw
record after swiss rounds 4-0-2

top8 first round vs Solar Flare * i wasn't able to get the name
match 1
i had an early up 24 life advantage thanks to the martyr. the game dragged on to his favor especially after a few rounds when he had a yosei, kokusho and an angel of despair in play. iafter an attack i was down to 3 life and had a jitte with 2 counters on board. on the draw i top decked a wrath of god and after gaining 4 life i proceeded to cast the wrath. leaving me with 2 life and him with 24. after a few turns of standstill i got the upperhand and beat him with a valkyrie with a jitte and had the proclamation maytr combo to boot.
win
match 2
this was very one sided as i was completely manhandled due to the amount of zombifies he drew.
loss
match 3
now i lost this round due to a misplay and i really regret it. I had a valkyrie and an eight and a half tails and when he casted wrath i did not tap the valkyrie to keep the eight and a half tails leaving me dead. damn

anyway final standing : 5th

Acknowledgement:
To fish for playing along side me, having a team mate playing in the same tourney can lift your spirits and ofcourse for bringing me there and to metrowalk after.
To mau for telling me the proclamation of rebirth combo with martyr of sands and kami of false hope. You really should be playing thanks dude!
To osi for the other deck components especially the snow covered ones. No im not pointing out the snow covered player thing its just that the sheets and the valkyrie really sealed the deck.
To God for everything.
To my hat for keeping me focused.

anyway that does it for now. until the next tourney! tnx for reading.
