Over 400 players in the Bazaar of Moxen Legacy trial. That means Ten rounds of swiss before the actual competition starts tomorrow. Yikes!
Here’s the deck I ran
Round 1 – Maxime with RUG Delver
White decks to the left of me
White decks to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with Blue.
1-2, 0-1
Round 2 – Patrick with BWG Vial
Sneak Attack + RR > Karakas
3-3, 1-1
Round 3 – Jerome with White Weenie
Sometimes you get dealt lemons and your opponent is thirsty for lemonade.
3-5, 1-2
At this point mental and physical exhaustion is creeping in. The team resolves to play one last round and call it a day at the Trials.
Round 4 – Peter with EsperBlade
Nice gent from Ireland. I lose the first to multiple Wasteland and Stifles, then quickly take him apart in Game 2 with an untested turn 3 Sneak Attack. Game 3 Peter seems to be lite on land and Forces a Thoughtseize. This signals something he’s trying to protect and I go for Sneak and it resolves after we trade Forces.
I give Peter the win as my brain has completely turned to a Grüyere fondue. I figure its high time for lunch.
