Congratulations Fma.
Thanks everybody for playing. It was long, and I apreciate all of you seeing it through to the end. I had alot of fun, and all of you are fantastic players. It was an honor. Thank you for being patient with me through all of my mistakes, and mis-haps.
Good-luck in future games!
Thanks Aaron and Crysus! Tourney was really great and I second it was filled with a lot of skilled players. Crysus gave me an intense fight and especially our games 1-3 were really close and well played and worth sharing. Here’s the rundown.
Final games
Fma vs. Crysus 3-1
Game 1
Sepulchral Strength vs. Collective Might 1-0
Crysus started attacking and I double-blocked his Wilt-Leaf Liege
with 2 trolls only to see it returning to the battlefield after a kicked Marshal's Anthem
. I played Pernicious Deed
and got down to 2 life, when a Pelakka Wurm
. gave me some life. The battlefield was his Liege + Loxodan Hierarch + Liege against my wurm + Drana when I popped Deed for 5 and had an open field for my Pelakka. I played another Pelakka which got exiled and Crysus followed with 2 spirit tokens and Photohydra
. I kept attacking with my lone Pelakka, luckily survived an Overrun
next turn with 3 life left and got the win.
Game 2
Obedient Dead vs. Dream Puppets 2-0
We were both mana flooded and besides some mill spells the field didn’t see much action at first. Crysus tapped down my Massacre Wurm
and countered some creatures. I was able to tutor for Mire's Toll
and resolved a Grave Titan
. With an body doubled Massacre Wurm Crysus got rid of my tokens and bounced my titan. I killed the wurm and recast the titan when Crysus played Chancellor of the Spires
into Rise from the Grave into Body Double for my Rune-Scarred Demon which blocked my titan next turn. With another Counterspell Crysus saved his Chancellor from my kill spell, but Corrupt
brought him down 1 life and he couldn’t stop another attack from my zombie token.
Game 3
Dream Puppets vs. Sepulchral Strength 2-1
After an early Traumatize
chances were good for a mill victory, but I was missing more mill spells… I could tap down a 32/32 Sewer Nemesis
and clone it, but mine got killed immediately. Thanks to a Clone and a Body Double I could bring down 4 Chancellors in a row the next 4 turns and use Crysus’ own sacrifice spells to clear the field. Unfortunately he had Master of the Wild Hunt and could sacrifice tokens and thanks to Ascetism
I couldn’t use his target kill spells. Crysus killed my first Chancellor right away and used Damnation
after the third, so I went for a discard spell with my 4th Chancellor and cleared his hand. With a flier on the empty field and Crysus top-decking victory was near, but his next card was a 52/52 Lord of Extinction
. Thanks to Ascetism I couldn’t use my tap and bounce spells and lost to a single attack.
Game 4
Celestial Light vs. Born of Flame 3-1
Crysus dealt with my Pridemate, Rhox Faithmender and first Baneslayer Angel
, but I top-decked another one. Thanks to Recumbent Bliss
and Swords to Plowshares
I could deal with his Phoenixes and finished the game around 45 life.
