A couple points about the deck:
- The Warping Wail main is a place holder for another Matter Reshaper.
- Need to get 1-2 more Mishra's Factories. Solid choice I think.
- Love 2 Jittes
- 2 Walking Ballista is super good.
- I know I know, 8 Leylines in the SB? My local meta has a couple devoted burn players. I want to be ready for burn to the face.
I am considering running this Sunday at Game Hunters, but I would swap out the 4 Leyline of Sanctity for something like a 3rd Ratchet Bomb, an All Is Dust, and maybe a 3rd Thorn.
Round 1 vs u/b Ninjas
Funny thing is, we were chatting before the start on what we were playing and bad matchups. His bad matchups are anything fast like Eldrazi or SnS. I've lost to him before on SnS because of bad finding of cards. We got paired up and laughed.
Game 1- I mana flooded, and got ninja'd. Not great.
Game 2- He got mana screwed, like zero lands.
Game 3- He wasted a key Eldrazi Temple, and I proceeded to do like 12 damage to myself with an Ancient Tomb. Oh well.
Round 2 vs r/u Delver
Game 1- First turn Jitte, followed by a river of creatures, only interrupted by a Chalice on 1, which really hampers his efforts. Turns out, Jitte in an Eldrazi deck is great. I had my doubts, but no longer. Between Jitte and a well timed, un-countered Chalice on 1, sealed his fate.
Game 2- Put in 2 Thorns of Amethyst, and managed to drop 1 turn 1. He did not counter it, which proved to be his downfall. Also cool, he did Light up the Stage and flipped a Smash to Smithereens, which he could not cast in time due to the Thorn. I had pretty much perfect mana, and hit a seem of creatures which he could not handle all of. He did Waste a Eye of Ugin, but then I topped another. Jitte provided the answers at the right times.
Round 3 vs manaless dredge.
Same kid as last week, same deck. This time, I was PUMPED to play him. I knew my sideboard was loaded for bear against him with the Leyline of the Void.
Game 1- Mimic and Endless Ones are a hell of a combination. Just smashed face, quick game 1. Turn progression- Temple -> Mimic, Temple -> Endless One for 4, smash with Mimic, Wastes -> Endless One for 5, smash with Mimic and Endless One.
Game 2- Sided in my 4 Leylines, did not draw one, but had Mimic and Smasher. Seemed like a good attempt. He finally got 1 creature in to play, but I topped a second Smasher and that ended.
I think we were done both games in like under 10 minutes. I asked him what happens if someone flopped in a Lelyine of the Void, he said- "I scoop."
