YES! IT'S A 98% COPY OF WHAT I PLAYED @ WW GAMESDAY
well apparently between waking up 30 minutes before FNM starts and wanting to eat, I have no time to do anything good to the deck, but I do manage to find the 4th Lightning Bolt Round1: Ipank with Naya Realmrazer(win 1-0)
Game1 started of with him playing as naya, I traded removal with his creature and countered a couple of spells and hit drops realmrazer which surprises me, I lost shortly afterwards
Game2 I was well aware of the existence of Realm Razer, playing arround it and finally winning the game with back to back Cruel Ultimatum
Game3 wasn't close since he kept a slow hand I manage to build my mana to cast siege-gang, he resolved realm razer but I have board pressence with 2 turtle and 3 goblin token and 2 land saved in hand, I drew the bolt needed to kill the razer and take the game with ultimatum
Round2: Bern with JUND(win 2-0)
Game1 and Game2 went the same way, I traded 1-1 with his threat and Ultimatum for the win it's not close since neither game he didn't have turn 2 leech
Round3: Isan with NAYA(lose 2-1)
Game1 i got stuck at 3 land and his cat made a short work of me, game2 he kept a slow hand and I just ultimatum for the win after controling the board, game3 I mulliganed to 5land 1counter hand which I relucatantly kept but I figure anything I draw, I can cast, well that ofcourse if I drew any spell, I drew like 12-13 out of my 28 lands and finally get some action going when I resolved an ultimatum....... WHERE like a stupid noob I forgot to gain 5 life, his next attack step put me to 1(6 if I remembered to gain life) and I can't clear his board with earthquake despite having another Cruel to take down the thornling
Round4: Arie with UW Control(Win 3-1)
Game1 wasn't even funny since he denied me my mana with edge and I got stuck at 5 land when he resolved Jace's ultimate, well to be honest, game 1 is not really the game I'm expecting to win anyway
Game2 and 3 was a lot in my favor thanks to good sideboard planning on my side, both game, duress and a resolved cruel sealed the
Top4: Bern with Jund (Win 4-1)
This is another 2 quick games where I perfectly draw what I need to actually fend off all his threat, in game 1 I got triple turtle to clog up the ground to his 3 thrinaxes, I finally ultimatum and swing with turtle for the win, game2 I killed all his threat and ultimatum for the win, it's not even funny
Final: Isan with Naya (Lose 4-2 boohoo)
It's rather anticlimatic to lose out on final due to mana constraint, both game I didn't actually get to cast ultimatum, nor even near that, game 1 I'm stuck @5 land for arround a couple of turn and keep drawing ultimatum and bolas. Game 2 i'm stuck @ 4 with only 1 red mana, needing the 2nd to cast 2 chain reaction i'm holding, but it was never meant to be as I kept on drawing blank and died to mass creature soon afterwards
Props:
- Apek for the 4th Lightning Bolt and organizing the tourney
- Isan for making it! GOGOGO
- SGC on my sideboard
cons:
- Huge misplay with cruel ultimatum not gaining 5 life
- Mana screw for the anticlimatic finish
