It begins innocently enough with a roll of the dice to determine who goes first. He wins and i already feel like im gonna lose.

He casts a duress at me, and grabs the only non land non critter there was, my grim monolith, and he starts wishing that he didnt cast it at all (you will see why in a bit).

On my turn i put down a mountain, and throw a goblin welder onto the table, he has no counter for this: Advantage Pickle.

Next he lands a hypnotic spectre into play. On my next turn i throw down a workshop and an artifact critter. Now he is in a tough spot, he knows i have a teekas dragon in my hand, and if he makes me discard it, i have a 5/5 flyer with all the fixins, he attacks anyway. A short while later i have a teekas dragon in play, aswell as some other phat beats, and a goblin welder that still hasnt died. My opponent is not so lucky.

Round two i throw in a very small amount of anti blue hate (im terrible at making sideboards) and he apparently throws a whole battalion of good cards into his deck during this time. I manage to get out a welder due to my sideboard blast, but it lasts about two seconds. I cast something else and he taps two blue mana, and next turn hes got a stroke for like 6. An Infiltrator or two and maybe a Hippie see play aswell shortly after and im just hoping that i can topdeck enough threats to run his entire deck out of counters. I fail miserablely and its now 1-1.


Game three i drew two welders. Ill elaborate, but i think you get the idea. He hydroblasts the first one, but the second gets through. He gets another hippy and i get to wait for some mana to put an artifact into play. I get out a factory, and the bastard strips it before putting a juggy in my grave. But i topdeck a workshop, and put a juggy into play manually anyway, thankfully he had no counter. A few turns later hes got nothing on the table, 4 life, and ive got a jugg and su chi, a masticore, and two bolts in my hand just waiting for my untap step. He takes the longest turn this side of an academy deck drawing a zillion cards and finding some crazy mana, but fails to get himself the three edicts, and two free counterspells he needs to survive.


Each game was very good, and soso played very well, but stackers heavy beats were a little bit unexpected, i think he will do very well against the rest of the field though.
