Semi finals: v Mothman, Terra, Magar

Cucked again! It was a close game where everyone went for the win at one point and got stopped, and everyone punted away winning the game at one point that no one could’ve stopped excluding terra, who had three different layers of protection. 7th Overall.

Round 5: v Kenrith, Sephiroth, Anim Pakal

Top 8 locked, let’s go. I had pretty close to the nuts. T3 I had put together flubs, floodcaller, earthcraft w/2 basics, and just stormed off until I found ewit to grab a shrieking drake I milled over earlier.

Rogsi wheels, I tragically hit no free mana sources and exiled earth craft and relic of legends (I’m internally crying, I’ve lost now). Rogsi Jeska wills, consultation for breach, breach, will, preators grasp targeting me, terra brain freeze targeting me, I don’t mill thoracle, Rogsi steals it. 4/4.

Rogsi flare of duplications it and grabs bowmaster, I grab eruth. My turn I draw land and decided to go in (I should’ve waited) tragically I played a fetch and got dream ended. Veil, countered. Tinder wall, breach, breakthrough, hit 5 lands and 3 slow dorks play them pass with no open mana. 3/4

I was first so end of T2 I flashed in the floodcalled without any avenues to give it or flubs a mana ability and couldn’t play flubs. Going into my turn 4 mana, veil, breach, breakthrough, eldritch evolution. I pass, terra casts ashiok dream ender. In response eldritch evolution sacking a dork 2/?.

Round 4: v Rog/si, Terra, Ratadrabik

This game was a certified cucking, but the most interesting game of the day. Rog/si mulled to 4 and got a slow hand, I went to 5 and got a slow hand, rata mulled to 5 for a trash hand, and terra kept a bad seven. 2 turbo decks did functionally nothing T1-2. 1/2

Mid round shenanigans:

This whole even we had assumed they were pairing tables so 1,2,3,4 would play, so when standings were posted and I saw I was gonna be down paired to play with the no winners I was so fucking excited. Plot twist the tables were paired 1,5,9,13.

Round 3: v Pantlaza, Kresh, Mishra (UBR)

We finally got there! It was a risky 1 land 5 mana sources that cost 1/2 hand. But T2 six after drawing a spirit guide into T3 song of creation saw mishra lock down with a one ring, but it only took me about 10 minutes to assemble the win.

Round 2: v Kenrith, a precon

Kenrith had T3 infinite colorless, but was a newer player and was investing extra colored mana in turning on the combo giving us like three extra turns to play. But a dress down and dismember on flubs turns left me unable to take advantage (I let him know post game).

Round 1: v Mothman, and Kenrith

Due to an odd number there were two tables of 3, and damn does that make the game even more pod racing.
I kept a hand able to loop Displacer kitten + pyretic ritual as soon as I found red mana (I never did). Kenrith tapped out, mothman thoracled.

Round 2: v Doomsday 0-2

Sometimes you have the nuts, and sometimes they have you by the nuts. They had the T1 line both games, with daze back up game 2.

The list

You’re telling a guy Nuh-uhed 4 different professionals he hosted, was wrong, and has struggled to host medical professionals since. Interesting.

Where did they say there were ban announcements coming at the end of the month? Last I saw was the minimal changes spiel that came with the October ban announcement, and my nerd circle keeps me in charge of keeping up on them so I gotta see the tea.

Semi Finals & Finals split so I could technically be 2nd and get the qualification, hell yeahs in chat plz.

Quarterfinals vs 5c Domain (same opponent as R3) 2-1

Game 1 was what a repeat of round 2 with us going 15 turns until I could handle double beans anymore. Game 2 saw me getting a really aggressive start killing him before he could sunfall. Game 3 saw him mull to 5 and I kept double duress.

Round 5 vs Esper Pixies 2-0

Game 1 started off scary but impending three overlords meant once they started coming to life it was over. Game 2 was locking him out of playing after turn 4 with a bat and drowner.

Round 4 vs GB Midrange 2-1

Game 1 was a preacher and sentinel bullying me, but games 2 and 3 saw bats and mishra leave them unable to properly stabilize to my horde of 1/1 fliers.
