Consistency is on point! Of course it will all need to be changed for Friday onward with
Sword of the Meek being taken off the band list. I played last night and ended up going 4-0.
Match-01: Mardu Control (2-0)
G1: My opponent had a lot of
dead cards in his hand with no creatures to target. By the time I had an animated
Darksteel Citadel he had already discarded or used 3x
Path to Exile on my
Tidehollow Sculler in order to get cards back into his hand.
G2: I locked my opponent out with
Ensnaring Bridge and
Leyline of Sanctity on the field. Ended up using
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas ultimate three times in order to kill my opponent who was regaining lift with
lightning helix; targeting
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas or
Liliana of the Veil.
Match-02: GW Hatebears (2-0)
G1: I drew a lot of targeted removal into
Engineered Explosives. Finished him with an animated 5/5
Torpor Orb.
G2: I was able to keep creatures off the board by using
Engineered Explosives,
Supreme Verdict, and
Drown in Sorrow.
Match-03: Abzan CoCo Combo (2-1)
G1: Having played this deck myself for roughly 9 months I knew the decks weaknesses. I targeted the combo pieces and used
Ensnaring Bridge to prevent combat.
Lingering Souls for the win.
G2: I couldn't draw any board wipes. Lost turn 4; he had a "nut-draw."
G3:
Grafdigger's Cage turn one; turning off
Collected Company and
Chord of Calling.
Ensnaring Bridge on turn three. Turned off combat by discarding on turn four through
Liliana of the Veil. Locked him out with
Chalice of the Void for one and
Chalice of the Void for two on turn six.
Match-04: Fish (2-1)
G1:
Serum Visions is to thank for this win. I was able to dig for targeted removal and board wipes for the win.
G2: Seas Claim on one.
Spreading Seas on two. Seas Claim and
Spreading Seas on three. Yea I wasn't doing anything.
G3:
Pithing Needle on one for
Aether Vial. Drew enough targeted removal to get me to turn 4 where I
Chalice of the Void for two. Finished him by swinging with an activated and animated 5/5
Inkmoth Nexus; two turn clock.
NOTES:
1.
Serum Visions was definitely what this deck needed.
2.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang is a good finisher but having a searchable finisher with
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas would be better; maybe
Myr Battlesphere.
3.
Tidehollow Sculler was utilized more efficiently; I understand how to use him now.
4. I need to run 1x Ashiok,
Nightmare Reaver in the side for long grindy games.
5. I will be experimenting with the list on how best to incorporate
Sword of the Meek,
Thopter Foundry, and
Time Sieve; I think the count will be 2/2/1. I think
Tidehollow Sculler will be the card to cut for this combo.
