Beyond Dominia: The Type One Magic Mill: Tournament -- T1ToC4 Archive: T1ToC2 T4: DerangedParrot(Acc Blue) over Bob(Hatred) 2-0

-->
By Deranged Parrot (Parrot) on Friday, May 25, 2001 - 11:27 pm:

These games were utterly unfair. I drew almost perfect hands and I cast Fact or Fiction six times. Therefore, I won.

I don't remember a whole lot of detail because we played yesterday night, so I'll let the logs tell the story. Keep in mind they are heavily gutted- if something seems confusing, I probably cut out something important.

This conversation went on during turn six. I moved it all for easier reading.

This was a tough choice for me. Consider this: I have 3 Island out and a 3 mana Drain to use. I have a Masticore and a Fact or Fiction in hand. Which do you play? I'm not at all sure of my decision for the FoF, but it seems to have worked. I was worried about getting my hand killed, and with only three land, Core isn't that amazing. Who knows?

And that's it. Build better aggro decks, people. Rubber Face, Jelal Sligh, something to stop the rampaging control players. Please. That's the only way to cut down the menace that is mono-blue and super-metagamed keeper.

Bob played very well, though, considering the quality of his hands. I must admit that I was surprised that he made it as far as he did, but Hatred was a perfect choice for the metagame that we had. Congrats.

Congrats Parrot.

So the winner is guaranteed to be XL blue now? Holy Crap, what is the world coming to?


By Big Blue on Saturday, May 26, 2001 - 03:20 am:

This is sick... Don't get me wrong, I congratulate you, Parrot, and all that (especially since you have won one of your worst match-ups). But... after half a year of seeing mono-U dominate the field it bores me to death.

Well, have fun in the mirror matches :)


By Acolytec on Saturday, May 26, 2001 - 03:23 am:

Go Parrot!


By ETP on Saturday, May 26, 2001 - 04:41 am:

Good job with cutting the logs to a good size, and the notes you give throughout. This was actually a very interesting log to read through.
oh yeah, and good job on the win too.


By Deranged Parrot (Parrot) on Saturday, May 26, 2001 - 10:46 am:

What I really need to do is learn VB and write a program that goes through a text file and deletes every line that has like "It is now the Untap Phase" and "Person untaps Random Card" and stuff like that. That would make the logs a lot easier to do than now, which takes about twenty minutes a pop.

What's frightening is that my current mono-blue deck can actually say that Hatred is a winning matchup for it. That's kind of sad.


By Azhrei (Azhrei) on Saturday, May 26, 2001 - 12:28 pm:

Indeed it is.


By Big Blue on Saturday, May 26, 2001 - 12:47 pm:

A simple perl script can do the job. It is in fact practically a one-liner. (Un)fortunately, I do not know how to implement such scripts under Windows, but for anybody who is interested in a linux version drop me an e-mail.
