Pick 1: Even though there are some quality cards here, I think Silvergill Douser is the
best one.
Pick 2: Usually I’ve been picking Dreamspoiler Witches over Sentinels of Glen
Elendra when I’m Bllue/Black, only I’m not Blue/Black at this point, so it’s
safer to pick Sentinels of Glen Elendra.
I ended the first booster in Blue, possibly White but with Black as a
backup. In White I had Plover Knights and Judge of Currents if I went
Merfolk (plus Hillcomber Giant in the sideboard), while in Black I had Ghostly
Changeling and Moonglove Winnower.
Pick 16: Liliana and Warren Pilferers
were a little better than anything else, and from here things fell into
place.
Round 1 I played versus Red/White Giants.
He won Game 1 as he had perfect mana. Two Plains, two Mountains, and
Stinkdrinker Daredevil, which allowed him to play all the cards in his hand
with only four lands. I knew I was in trouble when he had turn 4
Blind-Spot Giant plus Giant Harbinger, fetching a Changeling Berserker.
Game 2 I played some early guys and started attacking and gained a huge
advantage on his turn 6. He used the Soulbright Flamekin ability three
times, so I responded to the third one with Whirlpool Whelm. I even won the
Clash so it was a true Time Walk, and from here he was always behind.
Game 3 I realized he switched into Red/Blue Elementals as I saw no
Plains, and all the creatures in play were Elementals including
Smokebraider. Despite the turn 2 Smokebraider his draw wasn’t too fast,
and when I untapped with Dreamspoiler Witches I killed three creatures over
the next two turns. Having two Silvergill Douser in play, I won with
Dreamspoiler Witches and Pestermite in the air.
Round 2 I played versus Black/Blue/Red splash White Goblins/Faeries
Game 1 his Amoeboid Changeling was nullifying my Streambed Aquitects, but I
finally managed to stabilize at a low life with Silvergill Douser and I was
attacking in the air with Pestermite. I had him at eight life when he drew
Fodder Launch for the win.
Game 2 I only made my third land drop on turn 5, which give him an early
tempo and life advantage. He started with Squeaking Pie-Sneak, Mudbutton
Torchrunner, and Fodder Launch killing my two creatures. Eventually I stabilized
at a low life again with Silvergill Douser, knowing that this time he had
already used Fodder Launch. Besides, I was holding a Faerie Trickery I
sided in, as an insurance things would be kept under control. I wasn’t
counting on the Faeries… The next spells he played were Crib Swap,
Changeling Berserk, Sentinels of Glen Elendra, and Pestermite.
See you tomorrow!
