There wasn’t much in the first few packs except some Green cards. Green ended up being the right place to be with the late Gloomwidows. the Incremental Blight gave me a second color. From there things were pretty simple. There weren’t many playables but I got enough to have a reasonable deck.

Round 1 my opponent didn’t submit his deck and conceded the match.

Round 2 I played against a mediocre White Black deck featuring hits like Woeleecher Crowd of Cinders and Cinderhaze Wretch. Game 1 I didn’t play a Forest until turn 7 but Incremental Blight was able to keep me ahead. The board eventually stalled with his Woeleecher holding off my dorks. Eventually I drew Tower Above which killed him. Game 2 I flooded while he drew all of his good cards. I got him down to three before my lack of spells left me with no game. Game 3 was pretty similar but I flooded sooner and was never really in the game.

This deck definitely had some subpar cards but it felt like it was probably good enough to make the finals. I think the main problem was a lack of potential for card advantage other than Incremental Blight so when I didn’t draw that I simply had to hope I’d draw more spells than my opponent.

Until tomorrow…
