Battle Report of North Island Champs 2006

Since Radioactive Phoenix has beaten me to posting the battle report I shall now do one. It was a good tourney with lots of different decks involved. Learnt quite a few things in the tournament like how Dragonstorm combo is actually viable and quite consistent or maybe it was just the Dragonstorm deck I played against. Anyway here’s how I did

Round 1
This was vs a G/W/B beats. Wasn’t too sure what to expect as it was my first game but when he dropped a duel land first turn and another on turn 2 and farseek for another one I thought OK this blood moon in my hand is looking very good. On my third or forth turn I played blood moon and you can hear is mind think F”K! It was nearly game over and after a wildfire it was just me waiting to get to a magnivore before it was all over. Second game was nearly the same as the first game although he was careful in playing his lands but with a deck full of nonbasic lands it was hard not play them. Blood moon did come out although I don’t think wildfire was played. His deck consist of lots of small ish creatures and loxodon elephant guy with the sacarb bettle for draw. Also he was the only one that played tonod’s crypt which didn’t affect my vore at all. All I did was played 2 sorceries and he had 2 in his graveyard so when I cased my vore it was 4/4 already.

Round 2
This was quite annoying as I was vs the person where I borrowed most of  the cards from. Game 1 he was in control with flying men, unstable mutation and looter but that went down the drain when wildfire came out with no counters in his hand. Game 2 I had out 3 deserts which prevented him from attacking and I do believe wildfire came out again then vore. I subed out blood moons for volcanic hammers as he didn’t use non basic lands besides deserts

Round 3
Not much to write about here besides I was completely wrong about the Dragonstorm combo. Game 1 I slowed him down with blood moon so he won in turn 8 or 9. Game 2 he stormed on turn 5 with a sleight of hand, 3 seething songs

Round 4
This round was really bad for me, probably because I as still sore from the earlier defeat vs a deck that I thought would suck. Anyways I think this guy was running blue/green burn beats using herd. In game 1 I did one MAJOR mistake and played a mountain on turn 2 instead of an island so I couldn’t mana leak his herd which he proceeded to beat me silly with that before pisonic blast. Game 2 was a blur I can’t really remember what he did except he was being a real dick about how these pisonic blasts are expensive and what not. This was my worse match out of the whole tourney
Round 5
This round was interesting. Game 1 went to me easierly when blood moon, wildfire and magnivore all came into the picture. Game 2 he did something very unexpected. Ok he runs G/U signets and counters and kills with mystic snakes and similar creatures. He must have anticipated the blood moon tech and sideboarded for it because as he’s not playing any red when blood moon came out and all his lands were mountains he cast magnivore before I could. And from then onwards I could not draw the the burn cards for it and I just sub’ed out my boomerangs. Third game was well played by him as he had a hand full of counters and prevented me from doing anything and used his counter creatures to win. He also used urza lands but wasn’t sure what that was fore besides countering my mana leak

Round 6
I played vs a guy who I thought was either stoned or just woken up as he had blood shot eyes and didn’t seem like he was all there. He used slivers and I lost the first game after my wildfire and I couldn’t get another mountain for my vore. He used a might sliver to beat me. Game 2 I sub in most of my sideboard with hunted dragon and pyroclasm. When I played those 2 cards he went to me “oh that was a good combo”. Oh first time I played wildfire he went, oh I’ve got to sac lands, that’s even worse! (than discarding). Game 2 and 3 was the usual stuff with me beating him easierly

Round 7
This was another match where blood moon made the opponent go F”K! as he played a lot of non basic lands. I think he was playing firemane angel burn. After about turn 5 with a few stone rains he goes, oh you’re not playing vore are you in an most damn I’ve lost voice. Well it was the case when after he said that I casted wildfire then 2 turns later a vore came out. In game 2 I did the usual things and someone came to talk to me after I played a blood moon, when I turn back to look at my opponent, he’s packed up and said I can’t beat you from here so I went sweet.

So in conclusion I would of done a lot better as all the people I played and won I won easy. It wasn’t anywhere near. Blood Moon made sure of it and it stuffed soooo many people up that when one of them said, you run blood moon in your main deck? Sure I do, especially when they’ve got 4-7 basic lands out of 22-24 lands. Also when you see the F”K S”T F”K looks it’s worth it
