| Type II Bemidji,MN / October 12, 2003 |
| Well, I reused that Type-II peasant that I built last week. It's a green stompie elf deck; it does well early, but has problems finishing games, and against removal. There were 10 people in the tournament. We played a 4 round tournament, and then the top 4 played another two rounds to determine a winner. I didn't do so well, but I guess it could have gone worse. 1st round : I played against a black/blue Psychatog deck that had heavy bounce and removal. I lost in two... had one close game, but he bounced on my killing attack and took control after that. He came back from a 28-5 life defecit to beat me. 0-1 round / 0-2 total record. 2nd round: Played against a mono red speed goblin. Game 1 was close, but I lost. Game 2 I had an incredible draw (defiant elf and 2 alpha status.) Went on to win that game perfect 20-0, killing him in one turn. I got fucked for creatures and got oblitereated in game 3. I was quite displeased with my results at this points. 0-2 round / 1-4 total record. 3rd round: Played against a red/white control deck. He Wrathed, I died... I just couldn't compete with his defensive capabilities. Lost in 2 without putting up much of a fight. 0-3 round / 1-6 total. 4th round: Played a White weenie/life gainer. He had removal, but couldn't get enough to beat me. I obliterated him in game 1 thanks to my Treetop scouts. Game 2 went badly, he Wrathed and I couldn't recover. I went on to lose that one badly. Game 3 was long and drawn out, but he couldn't draw into removal and my Wellwishers wwre nullifying the damage of his fliers. I then got a taunting and an alpha status with 6 creatures on the board. It was over then... I slowly beat him down from 43 life to take the match. 1-3 round / 3-7 total record. So for the day I went 3-7 and only won a single round. I really hate Type-II... I am going to burn this deck once it's no longer legal. A red/white cycler with Lightning Rift and fliers went on to win over the speed goblins I lost to in round 2. End of tournament analysis. |
