Week 7

Currently in progress

MaximumCDawg 1 - 2 Stormanimagus

MaximumCDawg: The match against Stormy was a boondoggle. My internet connection kept burping and we’d lose the entire game. He was nice enough to reset once we did that, but even so, I was doing really well Game 1 before the bad times struck. The games did not feel terribly lopsided, but he managed to keep the control roll up just enough before finally Mentorin’ for the win

Tom Dixon 0 - 2 Dave Kaplan

Matthew Gottshall 1 - 2 Brian Kelly

James Saltsman 0 - 2 Sean Ottaway

Sean Ottaway: Game one he gets a solid start with some Thorns and Revoker on Time Vault (which I have in play). I have a Welder but haven’t found anything to Weld on either side. I steal his Revoker with Dack, he copies Revoker naming Dack, has a couple more lock pieces and finds a Golem. I’m eventually able to get a revoker into his graveyard to take care of the Null Rod in play, which gives me the mana I need to Hurkyl’s him. Put the game away shortly after, tutoring for Key and Welding the Vault back in.

Game two we both mulligan, he has a mana light hand (wasteland and Factory) and a Chalice on 0. I have a turn 1 Welder. I Chewer his Chalice, he attacks with Factory, I weld the Chalice back into play, cast a vault and tutor up key for the win.

Not a great matchup for James, 4 maindeck welders and Dacks makes life difficult for a workshop, but good games regardless!

Wappla 2 - 0 White Lotus

WhiteLotus: G1 I choose to play conservatively rather than take a risky opening knowing that I probed him t1 and his hand was pretty bad, but his topdecks help him a lot, while mine don’t change anything so my line ends up costing me the game.

G2 just an insane amount of variance in his direction, nothing I can do my opponent has it all and my draws are pretty awful.
