Assassin's Trophy
I took out the
Gravedigger
,
Pilfering Imp
,
Torgaar, Famine Incarnate
,
Undercity Necrolisk
,
Vicious Offering
,
Vraska's Stoneglare
, and a
Swamp
and a
Forest
to add everything but the
Reclamation Sage
,
Plague Mare
, and
Ritual of Soot
, which I added mainly as sideboard cards.
So on 1/17/19, I played in a Standard tournament, and went 2-0 and ended up facing my friend in the finals, we agreed to split the winnings and not play the final round.
Before the match, I bought
Vraska, Golgari Queen
, and
Vraska, Relic Seeker
.
First matchup, mono blue not really sure but he had multiple copies of sleep and some merfolk wizards and counters. I went in first game with the lineup above but with Llanowar Elves, and Rituals of Soot in, and barely won with 4 hp swinging two creatures to his one that couldn't block both. Second game, I sideboarded out the Ritual of Soots, one Llanowar Elf, for another Necrotic Wound, and Plaguecrafters. I won the second but I admittedly got lucky and that second game saw me playing all three planeswalkers.
Second matchup, I sideboarded out the Plaguecrafters for Golgari Raiders before the first game. He was playing some red black blue with counters, damage spells, and creatures with effects. I won with him getting out a few creatures but ultimately just removing a lot of mine which lead to me bringing out I think the Demon and the Nullhide to finish. Second game, I sideboarded in Swarm Guildmages to try to gain health from his burn, and took out the Raiders for Plaguecrafters since he didn't seem to have many creatures. I won it pretty easily.
With the winnings from splitting the finals, I got another Assassin's Trophy, and I'm going to try out a slightly different build without Llanowar Elves and with
Deathgorge Scavenger
. I didn't feel like mana was a problem, I also took out a swamp and a forest before I played the matches in the tournament. Also taking out
Charnel Troll
and
Nullhide Ferox
. Added another
Glowspore Shaman
and also added
Arguel's Blood Fast
.
