Rally v2 (Modern)

Base was a GP DECK FROM HOUSTON that went 5-4. This the tweaks I would have made on second thought and processing through the day.

Modified the mana, and tweaked the sideboard a little.
The overall original deck performed well during the course of the tournament.

MATCH ONE. 1-2 vs. Mardu Green. Games 2 and 3 were mana issues. Mainly flooding.
RECORD 0-1.
MATCH TWO. 2-0 vs. B/R Dragons. Switching to an Abzan Midrange out of the board befuddled him game 2.
RECORD 1-1.

MATCH 3. 1-0 vs. Mirror.
EPIC GAME that took the entire time and went to turns. Very up and down game in terms of life gain and effects at one point he was up to 37 life through the use of Ayli. He never hit a Rally and I had used all mine to stave the pace.
Going into turn four. His yard was full and I was at 14 and he was at 18.

His board state: 2 Catacomb Sifters, 2 scions, Reflector Mage and Ayli with one fetch land open and he was top decking. If he hits a Rally on turn 5 I am dead.

I had a Hangarback, Reflector Mage, plus 3 lands.
Played a fetch and dug. About 14 cards in library now sitting on 10 lands.
I played hangarback from hand for 0 to dig into my deck for the last Zulaport Cutthroat in my deck with 2 Grim on the field, 2 Catacomb. 2 scions, 1 Reflector mage, , 1 hangarback at 1, and my last husk.
Trigger-scry 2 then draw. Scry land, send to bottom, 2nd scry Elvish Visionary. top.
Draw Elvish Visionary and Murderous Cut.
Play Visionary. Draw Zulaport.
Murderous Cut his Reflector Mage with delve then bounce his Ayli.
Swing with team. He blocks takes 8. Then Sac out for the win.
RECORD 2-1

MATCH FOUR. 2-0 vs. Atarka RED. Powered out with Rhino game 2.
RECORD 3-1

MATCH FIVE. 2-0 vs. MIRROR Game 2 went to turns. Won on turn 2 with Woodland Wander and Fleshbag on board vs. a flipped and unflipped Jace. He was at 6, I was at 9. Sweet win because he had asked for a Judge to watch for slow play going into game 2 with about 17 mins in regulation.
RECORD 4-1.

MATCH SIX. 2-0 vs. Mardu Dragons
RECORD 5-1.

MATCH SEVEN. 0-2 vs.Controling B/U/R
Game one miss played mana. Knew it as soon as I laid down the turn, and locked myself out to battle back when I failed to hit my second white source with 3 Rallies in hand and five mana up and a yard full of fun tools. Game 2 Flooded. Nice opponent though, cool dude from Mexico.
RECORD 5-2.

MATCH EIGHT. 0-2 vs JESKIA ASCENDANCY COMBO DECK. Coolest deck I had seen all tournament. I had no chance at all due to mana screw and even then it would have been a very tough challenge. Was a cool deck to see.

MATCH EIGHT. WIN and IN. 1-2 vs. Bant Company.
Crushed him first game. 2nd game he tempo played me well and couple with a miss play on Rhino and Wander. 3 game misplayed a dispel to save a Collected Company. Should have saved it for his own company play. I knew it. I thought about it and I punted it. He reestablished his board and won with no play in hand for me and 5 mana open.

So, out of the 4 loses. 2 were directly linked to mana issues. One match was mana screw couple with miss play of land in game 1 of round 7. Followed by a mana flood in game 2.
Over all I am very pleased with my finish at my second GP every. Improving from my 1st by adding over 4 more wins, but to be so close to my objective of Day Two, needing only to win 1 out of 3 after six rounds is what it is.
Live, Learn, and Adjust.
