I took the Tromp first over the White cards because I figured whatever I took there would be a couple players directly behind me in White, and when you play White it’s very important to do well in Planar Chaos. After that things went pretty well, with a second pick Firemaw Kavu, which is out of the ordinary to say the least, especially with another uncommon missing. I was looking for another color to splash for the Tromp because I had Evolution Charm, Search for Tomorrow, and Greenseeker, but nothing came.
I lost to a White/Green deck in the first round. He played nothing but creatures. In the first game I kept a hand with three land and four removal spells, and only drew lands and more removal from there. I played my first creature on about turn 8, but by then he’d drawn into Hunting Wilds, and was able to hit me for nine before I could put up any kind of defense. I was able to stabilise the board for a while, but only drew lands while he drew into Strength in Numbers to kill me. Game 2 I kept a hand with two land, two two-drops, Dead/Gone, Flowstone Embrace, and Prodigal Pyromancer. I didn’t draw a land until turn 6. The game was still looking good since I’d handled all of his action, and once I drew a land I was going to start dominating the game. Unfortunately he drew Amrou Scout, Malach of the White Dawn, and Gaea’s Anthem in a row to steal the game.
Another frustrating loss with a good Red/Green deck.
Until tomorrow,
Rich
