RD 1 vs Tron
G1: Home team got to a hot start. Bogles + two other one-drop enchant auras + an Ethereal Armor got me there.
G2: I keep a hand with Gaddock Teeg in it. I thought the old man was enough but I was wrong. The opponent simply ignored my green-white kithkin advisor by dropping big fatty creatures.
G3: I won the game because the opponent was not drawing lands or any green mana source that could let him cast Scrying Sheet.
RD 2 vs Mono-Blue Merfolk
Lucky break because the opponent did not draw Chalice of the Void.
RD 3 vs Jund SagaVan
G2: Shadowspear is house. For one mana generic, it stripped off my creatures of their hexproof. Good job there.
G3: I should have dealt the other combat damage directly to my opponent instead of addressing it to his Liliana of the Veil.
RD 4 vs Boros Burn
G3: Each player's life total was below ten points when I attacked my 11/9 lifelink, trample, first strike, vigilance, and hexproof creature. It met Deflecting Palm. GG.
RD 5 vs Jund SagaVan
G2: Opening hand Leyline of Sanctity dictated the tempo of the game; plus no Urza Saga or Shawdowspear came to his aide. Win.
RD 6 vs Grix Death's Shadow
Game one gave me a refresher on how first strike and Death's Shadow's static ability interact during the damage-dealing step.
I encountered the same game one problem during games two and three. A 5/5 Death's Shadows blocking my 7/5 first strike, with umbra, trample, and hexproof Gladecover Scout. But this time, instead of dealing the excess damage to the opposing player, I decided to give it all to his black creature. And to my joy, it died. No removal of whatever form came to his aid. I win in two swings.
This is all for now. Thank you for reading.
