Last week came and went WAY too fast. Honestly had a lot of stuff I wanted to get done and somehow didn’t get too.
The weekend was pretty good anyways. I took 9th place in a WPNQ (PTQ) at my local store on Saturday, while my close friend took 2nd, some minor drama here actually for both my 9th and his 2nd place finish. Updates perhaps to follow later.
Sunday we went to an IQ, This time I fared a little better, splitting the finals to get myself Q’d for the Invitational before 2020 even starts hah! My friend took 8th as well, so overall a great weekend for the “team” especially considering both of these events were standard and I have rarely touched the format in the last couple years.
I doubt my list from Friday will appear anywhere but it was practically Kannister’s Jund Sacrifice list with maybe 2 or 3 numbers tweaks with the board to hedge against the local meta. Here > http://old.starcitygames.com/decks/135372 < is my list from Sunday, it was more of a for fun event but the deck performed surprisingly well! I would love to find space for another Niv in there because that card was my path to victory most games. Had a few sweet moments like copying a growth spiral with an Expansion//Explosion then casting my own off the extra land to “steal” the play. Copied an opponents drawn from dreams into a counterspell for the original as well.
Honestly I did not play particularly well and at the time I wasn’t exactly proud of my victory, but a W is a W.
UNFORTUNATELY now I am seriously sick, I have no idea why and I am supposed to leave tomorrow evening for another WPNQ (PTQ?) Saturday morning. To top it off apparently my car battery died today, so I have to dig that thing out of my trunk, which is way harder than it needs to be, and get it charged up, in the sub 20 degree weather, while sick. Hopefully there isn’t something actually wrong with it and it doesn't re-die on me when I am somewhere in Pennsylvania.
Double hopefully I feel better in the morning.
