Things that I can still recall from the event.
I think Floodpits Drowner's stun-giving ability is better than Merfolk Trickster's ability because (i) you'll feel the former's ability in two turns while the latter's only for a turn. And (ii) it can act as "removal", is better.
Game three versus Living End, I decided to keep a six-hand of 2 Spreading Seas, 2 lands, 1 Tide Shaper, 1 Sink into Stupor. Thinking denying him his colors would be enough to delay him until Chalice of the Void and counters would reach my hand. I was correct in the delay part, but the cards I was wishing for did not come in time.
Won two mirror match ups! Floodpit's Drowner. Mockingbird, and Dismember all played key roles.
Mockingbird was great! Here are some of the situations where the copying jitsu of the Mockingbird's stood out. Master of the Pearl Trident (for islandwalk), Svyelun of Sea and Sky (for card advantage), Kira, Great Glass-Spinner (for school's protection), and Orcish Bowmaster (killing opponent's Orcish Bowmaster).
4-2 landed 10th but still happy with the school's performance.
This is all for now.
Thank you for reading!
