Last Weekend

Last weekend, I made another bad metagame decision.

Since Shadows over Innistrad came out, I have wanted to play Prized Amalgam(秘蔵の縫合体).
The best deck for Prized Amalgam is Manaless Dredge.
These days, Delver and Eldrazi are popular, and both decks are not very good against Manaless Dredge.
I knew Deathrite Shaman would be popular, but 1 Deathrite Shaman is not instant death.
However...
My record was 2-3. This includes the bye.

My matchups were:

0-2 Shardless
→G1 Deathrite
→G2 Deathrite + Grafdigger’s Cage

0-2 Mono-black
→G1 Tombstalker (too fast)
→G2 Leyline of the Void

1-2 4C Delver
→G1 Combo Win
→G2 Two Surgical Extraction
→G3 Cabal Therapy->Street Wraith, Surgical Extraction

2-1 WUR Delver
→G1 Combo Win
→G2 Containment Priest
→G3 I am very lucky.

2-0 Bye

I got crushed. Oh well--Manaless Dredge is a gamble!
I am upset because there were NO Chalice players.
I should have played Doomsday.

Every time I play a deck that is not Doomsday, I regret it.
There is also GP Chiba, in November.
At the GP I will play Doomsday no matter what,
so I should practice Doomsday more.

On Sunday, I lent someone Doomsday.
Watching the player reminded me that Doomsday is very hard to learn.
The best way to learn is experience, so if you want to play Doomsday,
you can borrow my deck!
Teaching other people helps me learn, too.
So, I will also write more about playing Doomsday.

Next time, I will write about my sideboard plans.
