Magic Weekend - Report 1
2017年4月10日 Magic: The GatheringLast weekend, I played a lot of Magic.
The first event was in Shizukuishi. 27 people. Five rounds, then 8 player single elimination.
This was my deck:
4 Verdant Catacombs (新緑の地下墓地)
2 Bayou
1 Blooming Marsh ( 花盛りの湿地)
1 Snow-Covered Swamp (冠雪の沼)
1 Snow-Covered Forest (冠雪の森)
1 Bojuka Bog (ボジューカの沼)
4 Dark Depths (暗黒の深部)
1 Ghost Quarter (幽霊街)
1 Sejiri Steppe (セジーリのステップ)
4 Thespian’s Stage (演劇の舞台)
3 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (ヨーグモスの墳墓、アーボーグ)
4 Lotus Petal (水蓮の花びら)
3 Expedition Map (探検の地図)
3 Pithing Needle (真髄の針)
4 Duress (強迫)
4 Thoughtseize (思考囲い)
4 Crop Rotation (輪作)
4 Vampire Hexmage (吸血鬼の呪詛術士)
4 Sylvan Scrying (森の占術)
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
3 Not of this World (この世界にあらず)
Sideboard
1 Boseiju, Who Shelters All (すべてを護るもの、母聖樹)
1 Karakas (カラカス)
1 Pithing Needle (真髄の針)
4 Rite of Consumption (消耗の儀式)
4 Sylvan Library (森の知恵)
4 Abrupt Decay (突然の衰微)
I decided to play Dark Depths because two weeks ago there were four Chalice of the Void players and two Miracles players at the event in Shizukuishi.
There was only one Death and Taxes player, so there was not much Swords to Plowshares.
In addition...people still don’t understand Dark Depths, which is an advantage.
The sideboard is also different.
Rite of Consumption and Boseiju are to fight Miracles.
Make Marit Lage, keep priority, and throw her at your opponent.
I didn’t keep good notes...After all, this isn’t Doomsday!
Round 1 - Infect
I roll double 1 to lose the dice roll.
Game 1, I lose quickly to combo despite casting Duress.
(L)
Game 2, I make Marit Lage on Turn 2.
The opponent played Inkmoth Nexus on his first turn because he didn’t know my deck was so fast.
He must block with Inkmoth Nexus, and he loses when I use Thespian’s Stage to copy his Wasteland to destroy his second Inkmoth Nexus.
(W)
Game 3, I have 2 Abrupt Decay.
The opponent tries to combo. I cast Abrupt Decay on Blighted Agent, he casts Vines of Vastwood, and I cast Abrupt Decay again.
His combo fails, I make Marit Lage after.
(W)
Round 2 - Eldrazi
I roll double 1 again to lose the dice roll.
Game 1 I make Marit Lage quickly.
(W)
Game 2 I make Marit Lage even more quickly. (Turn 1)
(W)
Round 3 - RUG Delver
My opponent rolls double 6 to win the dice roll. I joke about rolling double 1 again...And I roll double 1 AGAIN.
Game 1, I mulligan to six. My opponent plays 3 Wasteland. I never draw Pithing Needle.
(L)
Game 2, The opponent mulligans to five.
I make a big mistake.
The opponent has Wasteland in play. I have Duress in hand, and I play Dark Depths before I cast Duress.
The opponent responds to Duress on the stack by using Wasteland to destroy Dark Depths, then casts Surgical Extraction to exile all of them.
I can still win this game with Elvish Spirit Guide and Vampire Hexmage attacking, but I am bad at combat so I focus too much on using Bojuka Bog to shrink Nimble Mongoose instead of thinking about double blocking Nimble Mongoose.
The opponent has Stifle and I never draw Duress to prevent him from countering Bojuka Bog.
(L)
Round 4 - Burn
The opponent plays first.
Game 1, I make Marit Lage on Turn 2.
(W)
Game 2, I make Marit Lage on Turn 3.
(W)
Round 5 - True-Name Nemesis BUG
I intentionally draw.
Interestingly, all of the American players are in the Top 8. I make it in at 5th place.
Quarterfinals - True-Name Nemesis BUG
The opponent plays first.
Game 1, I lose to Force of Will on Crop Rotation.
(L)
Game 2, the opponent allows me to draw Vampire Hexmage with Jace, and I am able to punish him for it.
(W)
Game 3, the opponent can’t do anything to stop Marit Lage.
(W)
Semifinals - Eldrazi
The same opponent from the swiss rounds.
He is a little unhappy that the Hachinohe players are all so good (there were 6 of us in the Top 8).
I’m proud! Five years ago, no one played Legacy in Hachinohe.
The opponent plays first.
Game 1, my opponent has Wasteland and I cannot answer it.
Game 2, I can make Marit Lage on Turn 2.
The opponent plays Pithing Needle and names Thespian’s Stage. I use Vampire Hexmage.
His play was a mistake because he also had Wasteland: if he played Turn 1 Wasteland I could not win.
Game 3, I use Abrupt Decay to destroy Endless One, and I use Ghost Quarter to destroy Wasteland.
The opponent has no other creatures so I have a lot of time to win.
Finals - RUG Delver
We split.
Honestly, this matchup is great for me, but:
1) It is late,
2) This is my friend, and
3) My luck was SO bad in the Swiss that I do not want to risk it.
Overall, Dark Depths is...okay.
I didn’t play against anyone using Swords to Plowshares so my matchups were not bad, and my opponents still have no experience against Dark Depths so I was able to punish their mistakes.
