Legacy side event at SCG Baltimore

I finally got out and played my paper legal DnT deck. I had been considering several different builds, but I went with a slightly stock build. I did chop a Crusader in favor of a Serra Avenger.
Before playing, I picked up a 3rd Rest in Peace from a vendor for $4. I just hate graveyard recursion with a passion.

I need to pick up two Shalai, Voice of Plenty to stock up the different builds I can run.


Here are my results per round:

Deck used for side event

Sideboard used

#1 vs Lands- he had the nut draw in both games. Seriously. Game one he had out Exploration, Crucible, Tabernacle, and multiple Ghost Quarter. I scooped. He could just blow up all my lands. Seriously, I had no outs.
Second game, I kept a reasonable hand with Vial and Rest in Peace, but one land. I figured Vial could help get me there. He blew up my Vial with an Explosives, I got Rest in Peace down, then I tried to get something going but he got the nose over my head before I could do anything. Stupid Krosen Grip. Good lord.

#2 vs R/U Delver. Game one he trampled me with lots of little creatures. No defenses came out, I just got whooped. And he did not play optimally. Gawd.
Game two, I got a Sword of Fire and Ice down, started picking off his creatures, and he crushed my hopes and dreams with direct damage and Price of Progress. *sigh*

0-4 in games.

#3 A BYE! Woot.

#4 R/U something, I assume Delver, but never saw it. Game one I got out two critters with a Sword of Fire and Ice, he ate one of them, I then re-equipped and just took over.
Finally, a win.
Game 2, I got down a Sword of War and Peace down from my SB selection, and it stuck. He couldn't find an answer to pro-red, and I won in short order.

2-2, 40 prize points. I cash them in for 4 packs of Dominaria. Pulled nothing of note, but still- its better than a kick in the teeth.



Notes from the event:

• In our little pod, there were two other DnT players. I guess with the prices of DnT dropping largely due to Rishadan Port being re-printed, the entry bar was lowered quiet a bit.
• The Baltimore convention center had two other events occurring at the same time. One was a cheer competition, the other was a Tattoo convention. Either way, I knew I wasn't at the right location by the attendees I came across. 
• There was plenty of food and drinks for those in attendance, and the bathrooms were decent. 
• There were also some decent food within walking distance of the event as well. 
• I managed to watch Phil Gallagher play for a bit. He was on an of row, end of table during my Bye round. I wanted to say hi and thank you, but did not have time as my next round began before he was done. Then after I was done round 4, he was in the feature match area. Not much chance there. I'm curious to see if he does a write up of his deck from the event.
