I've basically been using this blog as a dumping spot for thoughts about Magic and as a record of my attempts at competitive play. I thought I'd do a quick summary of the last few tournaments, before I head off to my first Grand Prix tomorrow.
Nationals - Played a bad build of Mythic, went 1-3 in standard, 1-2 in draft, dropped after day one. Was seriously unprepared - competition much tougher than PTQs/5Ks/State level tournaments; didn't draft enough, didn't play test enough. "Highlight" was losing to GerryT in the 4th round of standard when we were both 1-2. He baited me into mana leaking the wrong spell in game 3 - I had a feeling I was getting baited, but went ahead and fell for it anyway.
States - Played a rough Bant Shaman/Vengevine build I threw together. Top 8ed, lost in the quarterfinals - KYT tweeted a request for States tournament reports so I threw something together - report is on ManaDeprived here: http://www.manadeprived.com/2010/10/bant-fauna-vengevine-indiana-states-top-8-5th.html
PTQ Indy - Scars sealed. Opened a bunch of bombs but not enough support. Convinced I built the deck wrong suckered into the bombs (despite others thinking my build was correct). Went 3-3.
PTQ Columbus - Scars sealed - one bomb, but a good one - Contagion Engine. Built my pool as infect first - after winning r2, decided I hated it, built a r/g metalcraft deck, sided 23 cards every round after that. Played well, took advantage of opponent's mistakes, lost in r9 to opponent's hoardsmelter dragon - 6-3, 19th.
GP Nashville - coming up. I have one bye, and I feel like I know Scars Sealed well enough that I expect to d2. We shall see.
