Q: UR Murktide Ragavan DRC (loss)

I am writing this tournament report days after my last game. With no paper pads or recordings to help me remember things, here are some of the happenings that I can still recall.

 

RD 1 vs Rakdos Tempo

The opposing deck had tons of removals for my little green men. I was just lucky that I drew into Lightning Bolt and Goblin Grenade for the reach needed.

RD 2 vs Blue Living End  

Mogg Fanatic was the MVP of this round. The opponent was down to three.  He cracked his fetchland into Violent Outburst (down to two). Cascade triggers. I let the cascade resolves. Living End on the stack. Ping him with Mogg Fanatic (down to one). Mogg goes to the graeveyard. Living End Resolves. Mogg Fanatic returns onto the table from the realm of the dead. Ping him again. Win. 

RD 3 vs Death and Taxes

The opponent had an online Batterskull on the table. I had an army  headed by Legion Loyalist. Win.  

RD 4 vs BW Hammer 

I completely missed this round. 

RD 5 vs BW Hammer 

Our last game is here. 

RD 6 vs Ad Nausem

The opponent was down to three when Phyrexian Unlife came to his aid. I topdecked a Lightning Bolt on my turn. Bolt him before combat bringing his life to zero. Summoned Reckless Bushwhacker with surge. Swung my entire warrens headed by Goblin Piledriver and its crew of Reckless Bushwhacker and Legion Loyalist. Win.   

Quarters vs UR Murktide Ragavan DRC 

Game one: Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and a 3/3 Dragon's Rage Channeler were no matched to Legion Loyalist's first strike giving ability. Win. 

Game two: I decided to keep a hand full of one-drop creatures. I was a turn a way from winning when a timely Engineered Explosives single-handedly destroyed the entire warren . Then a 9/9 Murktide Regent came down the turn after and punished me for the next turns.

Game three: Lightning Bolt and Unholy Heat took care of the two and three drop goblins. Engineered Explosives took care of those one drops. Then two Murktide Regents took over from there. 

Happy Holidays and have a Safe New Year!
