Mayer 15 people showed up Place 1st You had to win an invatation for this.I got up at 7:50am, with my brother,Randy and got my cards together,and got dressed, and watched some tv. we left around 9:20 and got there around 9:30 or 9:35. when i got there my friends Jake and Craig were there.

In all 15 people showed up. We started around 10:50 even though we were supposed to start at ten sharp because some peeps wern't sure what to run. Round 1 vs Upheaval/nimble mongoose. this kid was a jerk. I got stuck at a 5 card hand & 2 land untill he played upheaval & nimble mongoose. game two I made the mistake of siding out 4 temper & 3 firebolt game record 0-2 MATCH record 0-1 pts 0 Round 2 bye I guess its better than losing 0-2 1-1 pts 3 Round 3 vs blue/red/green. I think? game 1 he plays call, i Rage it.turn 4 he plays call. I fiery temper it.turns 5&6 flash backs the calls. I Rage 1 & temper 1. I then burn him out before he gets goin again.this guy is supposedbly the best at P.E.S. services. game two he sides in a lot of counter and I get land screwed. game three I burn him out & win on like turn 5 or 6. 2-3 2-1 6 pts Round 4 vs black shade/w ichorid Ok I need the win to slide into the top 8. turn 3 he plays arena.yes! I burn him out with the help of his arena.he didnt even get set up. game two time to test out my sideboard - 1 mongrel -1 rootwalla -1 thornscape +3 compost. he goes first. he's set up on turn 4 with a shade & a shambling swarm. that hurt. game 3 I get turn 2 compost. he's playing diobolic intent or something. it's sack a creature you control to search your deck for a card.It's a planeshift rare.anyways, Im sittin drawin 2 cards off compost's effect. turn 6 skizzik /w kicker. he was at 3 life. turn 7 I Rage to win the game 4-4 3-1 9 pts Round 5 vs krosan beast & counter this guy is currently in first so we agree to draw 4-4 3-1-1 10 pts Round 6 vs green blue counter & arrogant wurm. I play Johnny. he's cool & he goes to Mel's ( thats where I won the invatation ) every week. we watched the games & aggreed to draw as it was to our best intrests. the top 8 looked like this 1 5th round dude 2 upheaval kid from round 1 3 first place dude's girlfriend, Kristy,I think 4 Me 5 Johnny from round 6 6 green/blue non krosan beast deck 7 guy from P.E.S.& round 3 8 Mike B. from round 4 Quarter-finals vs Johnny. crack! I wasn't sure how I'd do and was a little scared but winning against 1 counter &losing to one 'cause of land screw on the first game I was Confident. game one was like attack with mongrel, block,discard arrogant wurm & rootwalla.I'll pitch a violent eruption & fiery temper.I was in trouble 'cause his wurm was murdering me.I topdeck a flametongue & target the wurm.from there I topdecked burn like crazy and I won before he could get anything else going. game 2 -1 thornscape & 1 mongrel +2 price of glory i got price out on turn 3.It screwed him. late game he's using all of his coliseums & compulsion to get something 'cause i had the burn but it was a matter of time & stay'n alive. He's mak'in 2 squirrles a turn & im at nine.in his efforts to find an arrogant wurm he lost both of his overrun 7 I won with the ring & Rage. Semi-finals vs green/blue non beast deck. game 1. he's snak'in my creatures but only has a 2/6 wall in play. he made the mistake of blocking my rootwalla's with his snakes when I could beef um up. repulse's slowed me down but then my burn kicked in and I won. game 2 mostly the same 'cept for I had 3 Rage and won faster. Finals vs awsome dude with awsome krosan beast deck. game 1. long game.Rootwalla got some early beats & I opened with 3 Rage. He was land screwed & could'nt find the beast. Rage, Rage, Rage and Win game 2 - 4 of something.+2 price, +2spellbane. long game. He was at 2 & had out 2 beast.me had 5 cards in graveyard & 2 ring in play.block each beast and win,right? In between turns I explain my reasoning to him and lo and behold he topdecks an aboshan. plays the three to tap all non flying creatures without flying in responce to the block.????he owned the game anyway so i didnt argue.On to game three. game 3 he cant find beast for his life. rootwalla gets some early beats and I desperately cast burn spell after burn spell. he's at 7. in between turns I rage him. then on my turn I would've activated the ring & the necropolis. but he gave up. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! I won 2 booster boxes.they only had one torment so I got a box of torment & a box of oddessey.
