Yesterday I got to head out to the Local Game Store for some games with friends. I had a couple of decks to try out and got at least one game in with each.
Game 1 – Sharuum the Hedgemon – I dealt a huge amount of non-infinite damage with a Disciple of the Vault. Other player was playing Prosper with a lot of Treasure tokens. I ended up winning on the back of back flyers, Disciple of the Vault and mana screw for one of the other players.
Game 2 – Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer – I made this deck at the recommendation of a buddy of mine. It’s very much a combo deck and I got the combo around turn 5 or 6. I was playing against some slower decks. It worked, I felt bad, let’s move on.
Game 3 – Yuriko, the Tiger’s Shadow – Drew Arcane Adaptation early and just did Yuriko stuff and had good flips.
Game 4 – Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald – This game was interesting. I got off to a quick start but got stopped dead in my tracks when Konda, Lord of Eiganjo and Kathril, Aspect Warper came online. The Kathril place got tons of counters on his commander along with Double Strike, Trample and Deathtouch. It was over pretty quick after that.
Game 5 – Sharuum the Hedgemon – Slow game, I got stuck around 5 mana for a while. Crazy ending since the Kathril player was just one shotting the other twio players to death but both of the other players had Cloudsteel Kirin and the Kathril player was unable to find removal. Game ends with Konda player one shotting the Kathril player and blowing up my Cloudsteel Kirin target. Good Game.
The best game we played was Game 5, ended up with multiple triggers from Magister Sphinx, the Kathril player being over 200 life and me getting locked out of casting artifacts for half the game.
My least favorite game was Game 2. I felt like crap for winning that early.
