Mtgo Standard 2

Filed under: Standard — jimbobway4 @ 2:38 am

So I decide to play some more standard today.

In the first queue I played vs Dr.Greens using a RW kithkin deck. Game one I mulled to a decent six card hand and won after killing his first few drops with Agony Warps. The crucial point was where he tapped out to cast Spectral Procession and I had the Broken Ambition for one. Game two I boarded in my infests and then mulled to six again. If a bitterblosom were in my hand I would have felt much better. Instead I played a couple of spelltuter sprites and a Scion to try and aggro out. He eventually won when I couldnt find an Infest. Game three was over before it began I had an uninteresting seven card hand so I mulliganed into a six card no lander, then a five card no lander. I end uup keeping a four card hand with Mutavault as my only land. He then proceeds to kill me on turn four as I sit there with only a Mutavault in play.

Since the first queue ended so baddly I decided to give it another try today. Round one I played Vindicare1986 using a Naya deck. His deck was interesting it was like Kithkin, but he had Steward of Valeron and Wild Nacatls. Game one I mulligan to six, then fail to find a black source for the now triple Bitterblossoms in my hand. When I finally draw a black source I am too far behind to recover. Game two I have the all important turn two Bitterblossom. Then have a turn four Mistbind Clique durring his upkeep and all he has is a 3/3 Nacatl. The Mistbind Clique goes all the way. In the final game I end up running into a Guttural Response and it results in me losing the match.

So today did not go so well. There is always tomorrow. Hopefully people will play control decks again.
