Guys, it's that time of year again, when we discover how each of us did in the Standard GD event.
Did you come in the
Top 8? we'd like to know how your match-ups went!
Personally, I did better than I had expected. I hadn't brought the correct deck with me, as the accursed boxes were the same colour.
I used an archetype that isn't currently in the Standard Meta (G/R Eldrazi Ramp)
I came 4th (2/2/1/0) I was forced to concede in the playoffs due to it being 11 pm GMT
The current GP Meta is Mardu Vehicles and B/G Counters with Jund Energy. 3 decks of the 11 that were played were of this type.
I competed against a G/R Pummeler Energy deck, a Mono-White
Human Tribal, A U/R Dynavolt with
Torrential Gearhulk and B/W tokens deck which was the only deck type I lost to. (
Marionette Master/
Hidden Stockpile is a combo to be feared)
The playoffs consisted of G/B counters deck which I had won, could have swung in with Ulamog, two World Breakers and a
Reality Smasher, but granted the opponent the win. (Had to get home fast)
Kozilek's Return is a card that cannot be underestimated in Standard, despite not being played, due to lack of Eldrazi in the current meta it is still applicable as a 'wrath' with token generation, as seen in the Aether Revolt set.
Tireless Tracker and
Sylvan Advocate did the heavy lifting allowing me to enter the late game, the use of
Oblivion Sower,
Chandra, Torch of Defiance and
Hedron Archive excelled at allowing me to bring out
World Breaker/
Combustible Gearhulk earlier.
Let me know how it went for you!
