Draft 62 - LLM

don't remember much about this one.

Draft 61 - LLM

i meant to save my deck since the client isn't doing it, but i forgot. :frowntown: * oh, documents and settings. :/


what i remember: two surge, earthbrawn, vanquisher, greatheart, winnower, jagged scar, ambush, two branchbenders, two avians, ambassador, huntmaster, galepowder, two plover knights, and swell.

round one i take fairly quickly. opponents playing gr i think. i don't remember much so i'm not sure. i just know he had a foil mutavault and g2 he was 1 mana short of releasing the ants on his mudbutt to kill me.

round two g1 opponent stumbles on mana badly. he's playing WB, but doesn't really get much going and concedes early. g2 he gets out two judges and gains four life after i swing with my vanquisher. i get out greatheart, then avian, then plover knights, then another. his plays are two judges, mirror entity, frogtosser, and cairn wanderer. i double block a judge with two first strikers (he's pumping to 5/5) before i get out the second plover knights. i have a surge and earthbrawn so i swing with everything, killing him if he only blocks one creature. he blocks judge on vanquisher and frogtosser on greatheart. he has entity and wanderer left and i drop my secret weapon, warren scourge. any chump blocker would've been ok, but this is fantastic. next turn i swing in and he blocks vanquisher and greatheart. i surge and he taps out to ending a plover knights. in response i brawn my warren scourge for the win.

round three i play a rw giants deck. g1 i get a pretty good hand. he has out a pyroclast consul and not much else. the consul never hits and i take the game. g2 he has out an early stinkdrinker and i get overrun. not to mention problems with stops :/. g3 things are looking good until he drops a thundercloud to wrath me. my reprieved ambassador and token vs his firebelly, war spike, and thundercloud. i take out thundercloud by sacrificing ambassador and using barrage but he drops axegrinder. i get out a winnower and am getting low. i cast an ambush which misses and that pretty much spells it for me. i have a mourncaller to chump, but i can't come back. he o-rings my winnower and that's it. my last turn i draw my swell that would've won it for me if i had my winnower to attack with. them's the breaks.

Draft 60 - LLM

wow, so v3 officially kinda sucks (kinda, lol).

i did a draft and looked for my saved deck afterward. no dice. how retarded. * oh, documents and settings. :/ anyway... i drafted a Uw deck with two ink dissolvers, pestermite, two wings, two whelms, inspired sprite, grimoire thief, two fencer clique, mothdust, sage of fables, sage's dousing, stoneybrooks, sentinels, ruse, ambitions, ameboid, deeptread, divers, mistbind clique, douser, adept, angler, and stuff. it was full of relatively solid cards but no real theme.


round one i played a rg giant deck. g1 i lost. he had too fast a start. g2 he was hurting for mana and my t2 and t3 dissolvers went all the way. the last turn he has 6 cards left and i'm at a comfortable life total. i drop a divers and get two wizards for the dissolvers, i put wings on top. he drops mulldrifter and i'm like 'what'. i reveal and he's goes 'so lucky' i'm like 'i had two out of my top four, *shrug*'. what i didn't say was, 'i had out two dissolvers and you cast a mulldrifter knowing full well if i hit you'd be gone'. i see thundercloud and cloudthresher. g3 i have a nuts aggro draw and he stumbles a little early on. i think this was the game where he drops thundercloud with another giant out and i ameboid his giant to something else so the majority of my dudes live. i take it.

my sideboarding was something like: +ruse, +dousing, +wings, +thief; -whelm, -stream, -throng, -clique

i had to go walk a friend's dog so i had to let it timeout. :(

p1: this was clearly between brion, ending, and douser for me. i just think brion can be such a house.
p2: am i getting a green signal? i'd be willing to go GWr or GRw if i had to.
p3: cheap giant. ok.
p4: i'm thinking that perhaps i really should be in blue at this point. also black.
p5: ok, so black :(.
p7: WHAT?
p8: considered the daggerdare, but eh.
p16: i hated to take stinkdrinker this high but last pack of L you really have to prioritize enablers. otherwise, hero.
p17: disappointing pack.
p18: somewhat tempted to try handservants, but no.
p31: it's somewhat disappointing to take a volley pick 1 when i'm playing giants. then again, removal doesn't go so late.
p32: considered the wall, but i'd rather have a giant.
p33: axe is probably correct.
p34: almost grabbed war spike, but i decided that more removal would be nice.
p35-38: really fortunate to grab these guys.

replays aren't on (:/), so i'll try to remember.
round one g1 i played against a ub faerie deck. g1 he goes something like eot flashed spellstutter into latchkey into cloak into equipping it into fencer clique. my slow start of firebelly into stinkdrinker and a hand of double red and only one mountain kinda bit. unless i'm blending together here, i got out a late brion and i was sure he had the wings, but i had to attack in for the lifegain anyway.
g2 i sided out a plains for a mountain as well as +3 hurly burly for -2 firebelly -1 hillcomber (unsure, i know i considered that but was worried about blind spot). i think it went something like soulbright into stinkdrinker into blind spot. at this point he had out pestermite, dreamspoilers, and a final sting faerie. i swing with my stinkdrinker into his untapped final sting. he blocks, i hurly burly away his two dudes, and drop another stinkdrinker. i proceed to dump large giants and he conceeds.
g3 i side back in the mountain for a plains because i only had one plains that game. he stumbles on mana a bit but then starts to pull back. i have out a brion early and he's low enough that he has to block the axegrinder i send his way. i sac it and he's down to like 10. i then drop behemoth who is 8/8. next turn i hurly burly to get in extra trample damage and then send the behemoth at his face. savage.

round two g1 i played against an insane merfolk deck. he drops schoolmaster and then casts summon. i attack my firebelly into his tokens and he trades and i volley the schoolmaster that slows him a little but he has drifter to refill and dubs nevermaker.
g2 i side in hurly burlys again. he gets out an early wizards come into play with +1/+1 dude which makes me sigh. somewhere along the line i go to drop a greybeard and he has the ruse, bouncing his mulldrifter. i have double hurly burly but a lot of his guys are now x/3s. i double burly to kill his shapesharer as douser, douser, counter giver and a few others. i have out plover, axe grinder, and hearthcage to his dubs schoolmaster, nevermaker, mulldrifter. he drops commerce and can basically block me all day while he hits me through the air. trample might've saved me but i had to kill the soulbright when i burly'd.
