Starting off with a thank you to Red Castle Games; a great event as always.
Rebecca and I picked Abzan (GWB) and Mardu (BRW) as our respective decks and both of us planned well, I thought, making sure we were higher-end of the land count, at 17. I admit there was a little disappointment in my packs, as the rare for my Mardu pack was Marang River Regent, and the rares in two other packs were Mistrise Village and Cori Mountain Monastery.
But Rebecca had a solid suite of removal, and I had a Stormscale Scion to build around so here we go!
Rd 1 vs Vin & Riley
They were playing Jeskai and Sultai, and while we had a fairly good start, including a Scavenger Regent, Vin had removal spell after removal spell. Eventually we started topdecking lands, and Riley was able to surmount a sizable board presence that we couldn’t get over.I think I made a critical error, waiting on my own spells to use the Stormscale Scion, and it was only after the match that we realized that I could’ve done it after any of our combat steps when they used removal spells.
Next time!
Round 2 vs Fry and John
They were playing Mardu and Jeskai decks but Fry found himself mana starved, and we pushed on that while John made tokens. While they got us down to 19, we had a massive turn where Rebecca cast a Worthy Cost, then a Kin-Tree Severance, that I followed up with the Stormscale Scion. With three 7/7 dragons, the pressure was just too much and they conceded shortly after.
Round 3 Liz & John
Our opponents were playing Jeskai and Sultai decks that were VERY strong. Rebecca had a great start, playing out her hand on curve, including a Delta Bloodflies, Trade Route Envoy, and Riling Dawnbreaker.
