Adventures in comics and games

First set of playtesting:

1-2 vs Mono White Tokens (Misplayed late game) 0-2 vs Sultai Energy (will make changes to deck after this one) 0-2 vs Superfriends (no way to answer planeswalkers, will update deck as well)

Booo. Drew pretty poorly.

Round 1: Grixis Delver, 0-2

I got poor draws, he got great draws. Not much more than that honestly. Opponent topdeck'd Snapcaster Mage into Kolaghan's Command to kill our Spellskite and get back and play Gurmag Angler all on T6. Can't win from there.

…

Twins great. My draws were not.

GAMES

ROUND 1: Grixis Control, 2-0

It was his first time playing grixis at all (he's normally on a green Tarmogoyf deck), but I don't think he did anything inherently wrong. We each had decent draws, but Grim Lavamancer did work game …

Twin's great.

ROUND 1: UW Tron, 2-1

Game 1

"Show me the Twin and I'll concede" in response to my EOT Exarch to hit his white source. Unfortunately didn't have the 4th land although I did have the Twin. Felt like a dick move to flash it so …

Love this deck, possibly more than any of the Grixis variants I've been jamming (Abbot, Twin, Control, Delver...). Pure UR Twin feels more like a control deck with a combo finish than a combo deck with control elements. You get to attempt to navigate the game to a position where …

Only 9/15 qualified players showed up for the Championship. Why?? I guess most likely because some were busy or maybe didn't want to play in a free tournament with the only prizes being old promos? Whatever.

Before the event, I made some quick deck changes: -1 Island to go to …

I was hungry, so once I lost round 3 I decided to go get dinner.

ROUND 1: RUG Delver, 0-2

Game 1 I kept a sketch hand of Inquisition of Kozilekx2, Thoughtseize, Lightning Bolt, Thoughtscour, Poluted Delta, Mountain. I figured I could rip any threats away and then just draw …

I literally cannot win the first round at adventures, it is beyond my control at this point. Quick summary of the matchups:

ROUND 1: Affinity, 0-2

Kept a baaad hand G1, and he had a decent Affinity start into T4 Cranial Plating. I could only stall for so long. Could've …

Step 1: Show up for Modern Tuesdays.

Step 2: Lose Round 1.

Step 3: Win the next 4 rounds.

Seems to be my M.O. for these Tuesdays, but whatever, not going to complain about a 4-1 finish!

ROUND 1: Grixis Delver, 0-2

This matchup seems like it wouldn't be terrible, …

A bit salty that I already typed this up and then TappedOut lost my write up, so I'll just do a super brief one:

ROUND 1: Grixis Twin, 2-0

Baited combo out when I had disruption, which let me do my combo with his hand empty. Sided out combo for …

SPELLSKITE CAN REDIRECT BOTH MODES OF KOLAGHAN'S COMMAND

KEEP KOLAGHAN'S COMMAND IN THE DECK IF THEY MIGHT HAVE SPELLSKITE

Overall the night went great. It was my first time playing with most of my sideboard cards like Spellskite and Magus of the Moon, and I naturally made some mistakes. I'll …

First time testing out Mono Black version and ranked 12/20!

Great learning experience! I started off well at 2-0 in the 4 round tournament, but in the end went 2-2. I feel like some of the games were winnable if I were more familiar with my deck, but this was really my first time ever playing it competitively, so considering …
