Post downtime, I entered an IPA draft and "money drafted" Meddling Mage to keep in the IPA mood. Ran a jund colored deck for Darigaaz splashing blue for Cetavolver, Jilt and Stormscape Battlemage. Mana screw in game 3 = gg.
My next endeavor for the weekend was the standard MOCS tournament, where I'm aiming for the foil Stifle...
Expecting a degree of Bonfire of the Damned, I ran this particular UW Delver build that my friend gave me with Redirect as tech to turn away the said spell:
I went 7-4 which placed me 70+ places, losing to Naya pod, zombies and 2 delver decks. The 11th round loss was the killer as it knocked me out of top 64 and out of any prizes. I thought that I was in a really good shape in the final game but my opponent cast a timely Timely Reinforcements and in the same timely fashion drew a Snapcaster Mage to recast it.
With the tournament experience, I updated the list and passed it back to my friend who is running it at the world cup qualifiers as of now. (Mocs was 10pm to 7am++)
Redirect was too difficult to use and was replaced with Negate in the board and Mutagenic Growth in the main. Steel Sabotage was horrible vs zombies and ultimately was the key card in my final game that should have dealt with the opposing Sword of War and Peace only to get Mental Misstepped so that was replaced with Divine Offering.
I moved Blade Splicer into the maindeck and put in 2x Hero of Bladehold in the sb. Sick card to cast with Caverns.
During the Mocs was also the Wotc gunslinging sessions. They were playing Momir, MoJoSto, pauper, standard, modern, kaleidoscope and in the later part, Classic.
Games were snapped up in split seconds and each person would get one chance. A win gets you a Foil Promo Kitchen Finks. A loss gets you a non-foil. The games were insanely difficult to join. You would need to anticipate the correct person setting up a game in a particular format and have the deck loaded ahead of time so that you can double click and enter in the microsecond opening.
Fortunately for me, wotc_troy was playing classic (which happened to be something very casual which was not very common for the wotc people who were easily running good decks against the general public). Unfortunately for him, I was playing Classic with my Doomsday list and I easily scored my Foil promo Kitchen Finks that I would get in a couple of days. (Haha)
I'm still suffering from the insanely unhealhy sleep pattern with a mild headache. Bought a foil promo Stifle at 45. May try to get another.
