I decided after pulling the Boseiju, it was time to use Titan Post to effect. I used on-line streamer- into_play's list. Marched over to Level up to challenge mighty wizards! I believe we had at least 16 players this week, showing strong come back for the scene!
The only downside to all of this was, my brain was fried from work. Example- normally I am done for the night of playing 2-3 rounds and my brain won't shut down for awhile. This particular night, I came home, and within 20 minutes I was asleep. Just fried.
Round one was vs Alex, who I met a couple years ago and he extremely fun to play. Nothing but good banter and friendly chatter. The funniest part was- he was playing Titan Post as well! We laughed, and almost giggled about the stupid nature of the match-up. I completely shot myself in the foot by playing a Needle and naming Eye of Ugin. If I hadn't done that, I could have won about 5 turns earlier because I was out racing him with Titans and such.
We literally had no side board cards for the second game, and the only reason I won that one- I had an Emrakal in my opening hand and he didn't.
Key point about this match-up: Cloudpost counts ALL Locus in play, just not yours. There was one point in game one where we were tapping for 8 mana off one Clouldpost.
Round two was vs Enchantress. Yes, enchantress. I was NOT prepared for this match up. At all. Sooooo, I lost. Brilliantly to a Tendrils of Agony.
Game 2, see game 1.
Argothian Enchantress- go F yourself.
Note to self- next week, bring something that can kill them on site. (mission accomplished)
Round three was vs Jeskai Control
Game 1- I won, but it was on the back of my Glacial Chasm to be honest. I was able to Boseiju away a Back to Basics, crank up Eye of Ugin, find Ulamog, and even bounce my Emrukal to replay. He was laughing because he forgot about the Boseiju that I got with my Map.
Game 2- I won, but have very little memory about. What I recall was top decking the Bosejiu and calling it a night. I also recall Green Sunning for a Rec Sage and knocking out his back to basics.
He was a very nice opponent. I missed about 3 triggers that he was very helpful with. I had to explain how fried my brain was from the week.
Others decks of observation-
- At least 2 Kappa decks
- Saw a third Cloud Post deck, but not entirely sure the flavor
- One guy I hadn't seen in about 2 years due to Covid was back playing the most recent Doomsday pile with Murktides and Strix. (oh, and a Malevolent Hermit) He had told me before the event that he had been jamming on MTGO, and getting a lot more reps that way. Huzzah for him
