Tournament for fetches, a report

I ran my eldrazi stompy list. Which had been doing fairly we over the past few weeks, but the variance of my winning finally caught up with me. I made a couple errors, and it bit me.


Round 1 vs Goblins

He was running late, and I might have even picked up a game win if he was 5 more minutes. However he showed within 30 seconds of being told that. He was completely flustered, but one of the best goblins players in the area. Entire deck was foiled out where it could be. Including Masterpiece Vials.


Game 1- I just flooded the board, and he had no answers to 2 Smashers

Game 2- Got lite mana and he overwhelmed me.

Game 3- A back and forth, and the end showed me at 9 life and him at , and him able to swing for 4 a turn. I needed one of my 4 answers, Smasher or Walking Ballista. I flipped the top card, Smasher and extended my hand.



Round 2 vs White Eldrazi

We had been talking before the round, and explained some of our decks. Good local player. He was usually on D&T, so we talked recent variants. Hawks, and Avengers with Force of Virtue.

Game 1- Did have it, a Displacer got him out of a tough spot.

Game 2- He wasted a critical Temple, and I couldn't catch up. I had the right cards in hand, but couldn't cast to get even.

Displacer for the win!

[note- I watched him play the next round vs G/B depths with David Long at the helm. I caught game 3, and on the back of a single Eldrazi Displacer, take down the round. Locking up the top seed. There was a critical turn where Long fetched a waste up, removed the only Temple he had up, and Chris top decked another Temple which saved his Displacer activation.]



Round 3 vs Burn

My first ever deck check! Everything was hunky dory.

Game 1- Wiped the board when a Thorn hit the table.

Game 2- Had no early ability to stop his burn, and I got burned out.

Game 3- I was a COMPLETE idiot and did not aggressively mulligan to my hate. Turns out, a simple Chalice on 1 would have won me the match, but NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo, I brain farted HARD and that was that.



Round 4 vs Grixis

Both games I mulliganed, why? 5 lands, then no lands. Really bad matchup for me.

Game 1- Don't even recall, just everything kinda went sideways. Hymns suck.

Game 2- Lands didn't bother showing up. He didn't Waste me out of existence, I just didn't draw them.It was embarrassing.

I need to get off the sol land merry-go-round for a bit. Between Sneak and Show, and now Eldrazi Stompy... I haven't had a "stable" land base in, AGES.
I do have D&T to fall on if need be, but that is my back up to understanding the meta. For this coming week I am going to run out this B.A.E build that was talked about on LaL podcast.
When I proxy, I proxy HARD:

Homemade foil tokens.

Cheap white core proxies.
