Friday! Time to play some Magic, a slight derust after I spent my entire last week off playing Final Fantasy TCG (including the Monday following the Winter Cup that I didn't do a write-up on - only one other person showed up, who was new to the game, and I walked them through a game to teach them a bit better).
I showed up on my own, a newer player joined me, and then we had two others sit down to join us beside, so for all three games we got in tonight, we had a full pod of four.
In order, the three decks I played were:
And in short form, I won...
Exactly none of the three games.
Without going wholly into headings and whatnot, because this is going to be a short write-up week:
Ashling, I kept a hand that I knew was a mistake. I couldn't even call it greedy, but it was a bad idea and I knew it. Two lands, one of which was colorless, and the other was a Swamp, with none of the deck's precious few mana rocks. I was stuck on two lands for a good three-quarters of the game, and only barely eked my way to a playable situation when I finally drew lands 3 and 4. Unfortunately, it was too little, too late, and while I did manage to make a few decent plays, the rest of the table was far too well established for me to make any real headway against.
For Sanar, the deck underwent its sole game plan flawlessly, with me dropping Sanar on turn 4, turn 5 getting my Artillerist and my Treasure Hunt, playing a fifth land and dropping both the Creature and the Sorcery... only for one of my opponents to hit the Artillerist with Path to Exile. I summarily scooped and stood to go stretch and grab a snack from the shop
And lastly, Cloud, where I was removed from the game after my 4th turn because of an opposing landfall deck going absolutely ham. They successfully deleted myself and one other opponent, and then subsequently atomized the final player on their next turn.
Not a great night back to Magic in terms of results, but ah well. I had fun.
