![]() Game 1: Our decks both crap on us, with me whiffing on enough free creatures or Therapies, and only having some anaemic Nether Shadow beats, while he shuffles off every Ponder and bottoms every Preordain. He has an Angler and Delver in play, but I get a bunch of Zombies thanks to double Bridge and some Amalgams entering. ![]() He has a Surgical that he uses a bit too late, and he ends up choosing Dread Return. I’ve been told to sideboard lightly for this, and maybe the additional Chancellors aren’t necessary. Sideboarded perhaps too heavy, with a lot of cards to ensure I could stop a turn one Deathrite. He has turn one DRS, but I have Phantasmagorian, and quickly create a monstrous army on my turn two. There were 5 rounds of Swiss, cut to Top 8. It was close between all three, and I think after this tournament I might move to the third Chancellor, but anyway. The main toss-up I had was the 3rd Nether Shadow slot, which could've gone to either a Shambling Shell or the third Chancellor. Very similar to the list that Top 8ed BoM Paris. There was a smattering of other stuff too. I highly recommend it.Ģ0 players showed up to with the room being split between fair decks (Delver, Shardless D&T) and combo decks (mainly Reanimator, S&S, two Storm players). I did so many things that simple discard like Unmask never could’ve done. The brute strength of the deck is real – and it also had a lot of strength against combo with (what I believe) should be the standard blue package. I fought through a lot of tough situations and hate, as well generally overwhelmed opponents who were unprepared. I put my money with my mouth is by bringing it to this more “serious” (although small) tournament and the deck proved to be truly awesome. ![]() Anyway, second with a deck people call a “gimmick”, a deck people kick me out of Cockatrice for… People should hurry up and respect it – the deck is genuinely good. I've been goldfishing and Cockatricing Manaless a lot in between being chained to my desk for exam study, and finally got to take the deck for a spin in the recent sanctioned tournament here in Melbourne, Australia. ![]()
