pick 5 - seriously considered the sprite chaser and moving into u or b or the balloonist. going into u or b was a weak idea in retrospect due to passing wydwen.

pick 7 - considered battlewand, but due to the nice g i sent and a lack of gr synergy i passed.

pick 15 - this is a pretty weak pack for me considering i didn't move into w pack 1. onward and upward.

picks 18 and 19 - vary nice!

pick 20 - this was kinda tough, but heat shimmer can be so strong.

pick 38 - oh geez!

round 1 played a GUwb? deck that was lost without its titan. game one was a blowout but i couldn't deal with an early titan (popped my tarfire too early) game two so we went to three.



ugh. just watched replay and if he didn't have anything i could've won if i played differently even with my tarfire mistake:

opp1: twig
opp2: gilder
my2: tarfire gilder (should've held cause i saw titan last game)
opp3: elvish eulogist
opp5: titan
my5: glarewielder
opp6 - 17 life: protective bubble
my6 - 12 life: cast titan pre-combat, championing glarewielder; cast brawler (this turn was so bad)
opp7 - 17 life: kithkin daggerdare
my7 - 5 life: heat shimmer titan championing brawler; attack with briarhorn and blades in hand. opp naturally chumped.

what should've happened:

my 5: glarewielder
opp6 - 17 life: protective bubble
my6 - 12 life: attack; cast brawler; cast titan championing brawler
opp7 - 14 life: kithkin daggerdare
my7 - 5 life: heat shimmer glarewielder; attack with titan and 2 glarewielder; cast either briarhorn or blades for win.

this is assuming he didn't have a crib swap or ambush with 2 cards in hand and wgu open. regardless, i wouldn't have totally punted this game.

round 2 took out a BWr deck in two. first was a trouncing and manascrew helped game 2.



totally unnecessary in retrospect; forgot about the boggart once i played it.

round 3 took out an insane BR deck in two (i'll take opponent mana problems whenever i can get them).

this deck played very, very well. caterwauling boggart was super strong for me.

up to 1741.
