So I joined my first queue a 4-Man, It seems that the 8-Man ones are not firing I guess If I keep winning the 4-Man events it won’t bother me.
Round one I play vs: POPEOFCHILITOWN playing Merfolk
I played a few games yesterday with faeries in the tournament practice room and it seems that alot of people are trying this deck. I don’t understand why they would play this over faeries.
Game one I have a double Bitterblosom opening. he soon O-rings one of them but sucumbs to the first after a few turns.
Game two he misses his land drop on turn two and I have a Bitterblosom. On his turn four he hits land and I simply spellstuter sprite the spell. Next turn i Mistbind Clique him on his upkeep, he concedes after drawing a non land.
Round 2 I play Hiro.M playing Faeries?
Game one was so short that they didnt record it for a replay. I mull to 5 on the play but its 4 land Bitterblosom. Ofcourse he leads with a turn one thoughtsieze. I draw a land and then concede after drawing another land.
Game two I had the perfect draw turn two Bitterblosom into turn three spellstutter. Then had Cryptic Command for the following turn and he concedes.
Game three we I had a slow hand of two Cryptic Command, Mistbind Clique, Bitterblosom, and three land. He leads with a Thoughtsieze to take my Bitterblosom. Like a master I draw a Thoughtsieze and take his Bitterblosom the following turn. his hand contained only lands at that point. He went on the offensive with a Mutavault, but a freshly drawn Agony Warp takes care of that. I then go on the offensive with a Mutavault, he answers with an Agony Warp. We then go back and forth playing lands for three turns. He plays thoughtsieze which I counter to keep the Jace I was saving for him to tap out. The he trys a Bitterblosom and I Cryptic Command again. On the next turn I am able to resolve Jace who led to a Bitterblosom. The game ended shortly after.
After only a small amount of games I can see why many top players are playing faeries. Hopefully the good luck keeps coming.
