The GMAT was taken today, and the results are very pleasing. Two local schools will be applied to, and hopefully one of them will decide to let me in.
As you can probably guess from the previous post, the Time Spiral Pre-Release tournament happened on Saturday. While I had a good time (more on that later) my opponents weren’t of as high a quality as I usually expect, so I’ll not discuss that matches all that much. You can check out my deck though.
The cards were great, and I was able to play a Serra Avatar, which does not suck, and Jaya, which also does not suck.
My first opponent was a serious tourney goer. He wasted me in two rounds without my deck doing anything. He had a response for all of my creatures, and pounded me into the ground. After my defeat, I removed Lighting Angel, Dreadship Reef, and Gemstone Caverns with a Mountain, Conflagrate, and Plunder. Duel results: 0-2.
Opponent number two was a pregnant woman. It was the first time a judge had to be called to decide something on one of my matches, and the first time I’d ever started to run out of time. She hit me pretty hard, and gained a lot of life through Spirit Loop, but she couldn’t stop the fliers or my pro-white attacker. Duel results: 2-0.
Opponent three again was more serious. He too had gone one and one, and seemed upset about it. Fortunately, it was over soon, and I walked away victorious. Duel results: 2-0.
My fourth and final opponent started out with an advantage, he had +3 INT. While those around me were trying to make card splitting deals, my opponent said he would be splitting the winnings with his friend, so he couldn’t split with me. I hadn’t offered to split, so I didn’t mind at all. We fought, had a good back and forth, when Jaya put the game firmly in my corner. Duel results: 2-1.
