Greetings fellow quarantined planeswalker!
For my 37th year on Earth, I am going to play the three formats that I haven't played in a paper tournament in a very long time.
Here are the results.
LEGACY: The Epic Storm
vs. BG Control
Grand Prix Kobe Team Event (Modern Legacy Standard) was my last legacy tournament wherein my personal record was at X-1 for day one with AnT Storm.
Game one: He had Chalice of the Void set on one and two. I had no choice but to concede.
Game two: In my last turn, life points were: him at 16 and me at 2. He had the following relevant cards on his table: Leyline of the Void, Chalice of the Void set at one, and a Collector Ouphe. On my table I had: 4 Lands and LED. My hand after the draw: two Mox Opals, a petal, and two Burning Wishes.
Burning Wish fetching Grapeshot (storm 1). Dropped 1st Opal followed by petal (storm 3). Then Grapeshot his green Null Rod and two damages to him (14life 4 storm). Artifacts can finally move. I tapped Mox Opal for R, then bings down the 2nd Mox Opal tapping it for another R (storm 5) into Burning Wish - crack LED and petal for BBBB. Wish to Tendrils of Agony for the win.
Game three: Turn two Chalice of the Void for one. Turn four Chalice of the Void for two. Abrupt Decay never reached my hand in time. GG.
VINTAGE: Zoo
vs. MUD
It has been more than 10 years since I last played in a Vintage MTG tournament. So before I creating an untap in room for this, I updated myself of the following: (i) BnR cards and (ii) rules/meta.
Game one: He was dropping hate for non-creature spells. I was dropping pets. Not just ordinary pets, but pets with hates. Such as Tin Street Hooligans and Qasali Pridemages.
Game two: I started fast: Black Lotus, Mox Ruby + SSG into Eidolon of the Great Revel, and Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Yeah! Speed! But after that, I never get to draw a land or mox. GG.
Game three: Mox monkey won me the game by eating his zero casting cost artifact creatures. No blockers? I swing in all my creatures for the win!
EDH: Mono Red Burn
I only have three 1v1 EDH (or commander as others call it) tournaments experiences. A total of 15 rounds in which I lost all but one. Yeah that's how bad I am with this format. And like Vintage MTG, it has been many years since my last EDH game.
So I had to update myself of the rules, the banned cards for 1v1 tournament, and other more rules relating to this format before creating a room over at untap in.
I decided to go with Mono Red deck because I do not know really what to expect from them.
vs. Avacyn, Angel of Hope (Mono White)
He asked me if what life do I prefer. Well, I really don't know what to say so my reply was, "whatever you want." "40" he said. Then 40 it is.
He went first but I had a Leyline of Punishment out by turn zero. He then continued with Plains into Serra Ascendant. Early in the game I thought he was on something like Soul Sister deck, but as soon as the game progressed, he was more of like a mono white enchantment base control deck. His deck reminded me of the Modern Mono White Enchantment deck I once had. Eventually he assembled his enchantment-lock-army headed by the legendary Moat.
Fortunately, Zo-zu together with a small army of burn spells at hand, artifacts, and red enchantments, Fireblast, Lava Axe, Mind's Eye, Manabarbs, and Sulfuric Vortex, were enough to keep him at bay. I am now at 2 wins and 14 loses, EDH-ly speaking.
Well, that is all for now.
Stay safe everyone! Stay at home!
