Saturday Magic 2-19-11

Now its time to report on my rounds on Saturday at Crazy Fred's. Some people don't like going there. They just can't handle his sarcastic humor. To each their own, I'm not here to rate stores (COUGH! Game Empire is at the bottom)
I apologize if I can't remember much but rounds go by faster at Freds and Im not able to record anything.
So my first game is against Jessie, a four-eyed asian looking guy who didn't like my Summoning Trap SB in Big Red. First game he had the board with landfall creatures and I would have a hard time keeping my creatures. He kept using his arc trails viciously. But when I did hit him, it was pretty hard. Managed to get him to 4, but he had so many landfall creatures and fetches, I couldn't stop it all. 2nd game after I sided all my creature hates, I didn't let his creatures stay on the board long. Bushwhacker and Battlecry got there. In game 3 he got a good head start, but then I played more creature hate and got all my creatures through. We went to turns, mine being 0, and we were both at 12. I managed to hit him for 6, then he hit me for 7, but I wasn't worried. Along with the creatures I had on the board, I had Cheiftain, Bushwhacker, and Summons in my hand, with the mana to 2 of them but not all 3, which wasnt needed. Boros is a fun match-up of speed. Game win Me, 2-1.
Round 2 was against Aj with his Elves. Not much to report on. Both games went by too fast to say anything, it was the same thing each time. First couple of turns I would kill his mana producers, and then just keep swinging in for lethal. Didnt give him any time to cast Ezuri or Monument. Elves are good, but while they're setting up, I'm already wrecking shit. Game win 2-0.
Round 3 and Im undefeated. Felt damn good. Then my matchup was against Leo again, and I felt confident. Fuck that fool. I beat his deck once and I was gonna do it again. And then reality hit, he learned from his mistakes and fixed his deck up. First game I was hardly able to play any creatures without him killing them. Yeah I was able to hit him a couple times, but it just wasnt enough. I am proud to say that in the second game I raped his shit up, got him down to -16 and he couldnt get me past 15. He wasn't having any trouble either so there's no excuse there. However I wasn't so lucky in game 3. I had to mull and even then it wasn't good enough. Got stuck with a mountan, warzone, and a couple of 1drops with cheiftain. I figured I was good and would draw another land. Which I didn't. Kept strugging, kept trading my warzone, in the end he was at 4, I was at 5, and then he swung for game. Douche. I don't think he likes me either. Before the game he listed gamewinning "gay shit" and told me not to do them and not to give him gay cuts. When I mulled and I asked him if he wants to cut me, he said,"Yeah with a knife." Fuck that nigga.
Round 4 was a sad round, just because it was against somebody Im cool with, Trent. A tall, white guy who is tall and tall. This nigga tall. A deck like his is built for a deck like mine. 6 board wipes. Its horrible. Just horrible. I couldnt have creatures on the feild for too long before Id have to rebuild my army again. All in all I did good though, managed to get him down to 5, but then he played Inferno Titan, killed off my creatures, and I was sitting at 14. I had one turn to live, and Ive could have survived it if I hadn't made the mistake of passing turn. With his Inferno, he could kill me in one hit. But if I had played Cheiftain, and Summons for 2x 4/4s, then the win coulda been mine. Since he'd kill my Cheiftain, and I wouldnt have blocked, Id be at 1 life. Then my 4/4s would have gotten me the win. Shoulda woulda coulda. But I didn't. After sideboard it was a lot harder to keep my creatures on the field. I got him down to 7 this time, and then he dropped another Inferno. I was only at 18 thanks to my fetchlands, I thought I could pull through, topdeck creature after creature and somehow haste my way to win. Seeing me struggle, Trent decided to make it easy for me. He showed me his hand, with more Infernos and Wurmcoils. All I could do was laugh as I scooped and said "Good game." Which I rarely do scoop. I like to play it out. But when you're staring at Wurmcoil... All you can do is "Fuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!"
That day I got 8th place out of 18-19 people. Yay, the better half of 50%. Somebody else asked what he gets for being in the top 50% a couple weeks ago, I still laugh about it to this day. "Hey Fred I got 6th what do I get?" "YOU GET DICK!"
