Mono Red Prowess W

Notes:
I tried to upload a whole game (from games one to three 40+ minutes long) but Youtube did not let it. So I just recorded game after game. 

SCAPESHIFT PRIMIVAL TITAN DECK (June 1st)
I got fried in game one. Scapeshift into Valakut for twenty-four damages for the win. My defensive duo, Trickster and Harbinger, took care of his creatures in games two and three. Denying him blockers and bouncing them for more delay worked pretty fine. He tried to win through Scapeshift during game three but got blocked by Force of Negation. WIN

RAKDOS PROWESS LURRUS (June 2nd)
He had a very fast game one. Prowess plus burn spells then ended the game with Lurrus recycling Seal of Fire for the win. For the next two games, all counter spells were thrown at his burn spells with one exception, Deprive that black feline. Trickster, Harbinger, and Reejerey took care of the prowess creatures. "But Lurrus is loves graveyard." No need for Relic of Progenitus Just save a Deprive for it. If in case Deprive is not available, you still have Tricksters or Harbinger in some corner case situations.

Edit: Two hours after this game, WOTC announced its new ruling concerning companion cards.

MONO RED PROWESS (June 3rd)
Game one was fast. It only lasted for like two minutes. Here's the video of it. 

I played tight merfolk gaming during game two. Two Merfolk Tricksters and three Harbinger of the Tides made it an uphill battle for his one drop prowess troop. I forgot to record our game two, unfortunately

Game three is here

ELDRAZI TRON (June 3rd)
Game one was an uphill battle. He had a Chalice of the Void (for one) out by turn two when I started drawing three straight one-drop cards. He also summoned Thought-Knot Seers in turns three and five thus hence removing some of the early two-drop lords that I drew. In time things went to my favor when I started drawing Merfolk Tricksters, Reejerey, and Harbingers. 

My opening hand for game two was: two Lord of Atlantis, Reejerey, 2 Islands, Mutavault, and a Trident. In the first 5 turns I drew the following in order: Island, Reejerey, Island, Island, Phantasmal Image. I won the race using this formula: lord effects + tap blockers off the Reejerey's trigger abilities. 

GWur YORION (June 3rd)
Yorion, Sky Nomad in a GWur COCO Deck made me feels like I was playing against the then Pod Deck. The remarkable play he had was Avalanche Rider then blinking it twice with a single card, Ephemerate. Then in his upkeep, blink it again with Restoration Angel. Sweet flow of interactions. Good thing that I am familiar on how his deck works. I won two games thanks to the triggers of Reejerey and Merfolk Trickster. Force of Negation and Deprive also did a great job by denying him of his creature-tutor green cards. 

This is all for now. Thank you for reading.
