Weekly S2D Battle
As usual, this Tuesday I headed out to Something 2 Do to play Magic. It was finally Extended which I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, there were only seven people there to play this week, and if showing is low next week we revert to standard.
I decided to play Affinity this week, because I couldn’t use the cards for Enduring Ideal, or Gifts Rock. In round one I got to play Jason, who was also playing Affinity. It was a short match. In game one I drew spells I couldn’t play, and in game two I drew spells I couldn’t play without the lands to play anything. He got it 2-0. In round two I played against Tony P., and he was playing Counterbalance. I won game one with a pretty good topdeck of Cranial Plating the turn I needed it. I won game two when he attacked with all his guys, and forgot I had a Blinkmoth Nexus to kill him. In round three I played Chris O. playing UW Tron. The matchup is really in my favor, so I was pretty confident. I won game one like I thought I would, making a big Blinkmoth Nexus. In game two he got 3 Ghost Quarter’s to start the game, along with Remands and Condescends, so I lost. In game three I played turn one Land, Ornithopter, Springleaf Drum, Pithing Needle, Frogmite, Frogmite. On two I played a Pithing Needle, and a Chromatic Star. On three a Goyf, that was countered, and on four a Ravager for the kill. It was insane. I got 4th place, which was just a Mogg Fanatic, since there were so few people, and then I went home.
