Most MTG players like to play deck to beat “JUND”, champion deck GP Kuala Lumpur “RDW”, or expensive deck “Mythic”. Now you have to consider the other deck...”ALLY” tongue.gif

Here’s my deck which I name it “Ally mc Beal” hahaha...

Side Board:

Game 1: vs Ipang (Elfdrazi Deck)
He put Arbor Elf at 1st turn. The next turn was Llnowar Elf. The next turn so many elves came onto the battlefield. And he ended with Eldrazi. Nothing much I could do in round 1. Creature stuck *sigh* Same condition as round 1. His deck was so fast with 1st drop in turn 1. My creatures weren’t enough when he cast Wolfbriar Elemental with multiply kicker. (Lost 0-2)

Game 2: vs Untung (Mythic deck)
With his BOP and Cobra, he cast Reliquary at 3rd turn. While I cast Hada and Kazandu at 1st and 2nd turn and never stop to attack before Reliquary getting bigger. At 4th turn and above I cast Join the Ranks three times...my Kazandu is 11/11 with Honor on the battlefield and he couldn’t handle it. Round 2 thanks to Kabira with his protection ability. And I ended game 2 with Celestial Colonnade. (Won 2-0)

Game 3: vs Ari (RDW deck)
Round 1 lost with top decking Ball Lightning when I thought I will win at next turn. Round 2 my side board came to the battlefield... KOR FIREWALKER! And the next Firewalker ended the round 2. With Firewalker in 2nd turn in round 3 you know the result. (Won 2-1)

Game 4: vs Bobby (Jund deck)
Once again thanks to Kabira and Brave the Elements for the win. Round 1 and 2 Hada, Kazandu, Kabira, and Brave then bye bye Jund (Won 2-0)

TOP 4

Semifinal: vs Ipang (Elfdrazi deck)
Hada, Kazandu, Kabira, and Talus... won in Round 1! With a little bit trick to play Day of Judgment I cleared the battlefield when he had mass creatures. With only Kabira and 3 Honors I finished with top deck Brave the Elements. End. (Won 2-0)

Final: vs Haudy (Knightfall deck)
I won because I could cast Hada in 1st, Kazandu in 2nd. His big creatures was exiled by PTE. Won. Same as round 1, I ended the game with victory when he asked if I have protection ability or not. When I reveal my top deck is Brave the elements, he knew what to do biggrin.gif (Won 2-0)

Props:
- Great players, great decks, and great environment
- Koko Yop, for the tourney

Cons:
