I ran 42 Cards as I wanted Plummet and extra Rampant Growth, my reason is I have two ramp cards and alot of 2 drops so I can afford to pull it off with 42.
Match 1 vs coxy1403 (Green/Red)
Game 1
He drops a Gladescout and Basilisk while I drop a Devouring Swarm and swing for a BT Vampire Outcasts. I DB his basilisk and he brings out a Bangchuckers followed up with a Overrun to swing at me to 7. I draw an overrun myself regain 7 life from the outcasts, then he starts throwing a few flings and goblin grenades killing my creatures till I cast Carnage Wurm for the win.
Game 2
I bring out Tormented Soul and started swinging with alot of low level creatures, he simply draws alot of land and concedes.
Match 2 vs Stroyer24 (Blue/White)
Game 1
I win by simply aggroing him to death. Can't remember much and didn't have the replay but I believe it was tormented Soul + Darkfavor for the win which he cannot answer.
Game 2
I basically draw a hand with no 2 drops and start off slow with a non bt bloodrage vampire which he spell leaks. And he starts dropping Fliers like Skywinder and Assault Griffin while I lay down the stingerfling and a duskhunter bat. He proceeds to win the game with a mind control on my Stingerfling spider and it goes downhill from there once he gets out his Djinn.
Game 3
Pretty much same as 2nd game trading back and forth but I was prepared for his Mindcontrol which I bait with Vampire Outcast and before I drop my 9/9 Wurm for the win with Overrun.
Match 3 vs Bookstax (Black/White)
Game 1
He does his Griffin Rider followed up with a Griffin Sentinel which I flinged, while I start beating him down with Skinshifter and pumped up Swarm which wins me the game.
Game 2
He doesnt get much of a good draw, while I drew a removal to get rid of his Griffin Sentinel and buffed up my tormented soul and started getting hits in with a devouring swarm taking him down.
All in all I find it that I have a better chance of winning all my games with not alot of Mythic/Rare bomb cards. The best bomb I have was Overrun which was okay. I do have to say alot of people say Green is bad, but I've had pretty good runs with Green/Black and Green/White (Which I won 3-0). Please leave any comments or suggestions!
EDIT: 0-2 and drop from next daily... Game 1 to RW aggro to not drawing anything relevant both games, game 2 to Valakut, could not draw spreading seas... Valakut MU is still very bad, but it is bad for any version of UW I think, my more classic one was loosing horribly to it as well
I just played a game vs Valakut. 1st game I lost hands down even though I was able to get 2 spreading seas on two of their mountains and CS'ed the harrows.
Games 2/3 were much more cake. I sided in 4x archive traps, 3 hedron craps and sided out my emeria angels and conquerer's pledge (I kept in a few sanctifiers incase I can nail their artifacts).
Game 2, I manage to get a crab out t2 to mill for 3 before it got burst lightninged. Then followed up with a t4 archive trap to mill him out of a few mountains, harrow an a valakut (main 3 things you want to mill). Things went back and forth with him trying to ramp up more lands before I draw intoa nother Archive trap and milled him again. On turn 7 he tries to summon a kicked mold scrambler and i cancelled it (these things are annoying! Valakuts always side in LD 2nd game vs control decks so save cancels for these). I missed a few land drops so I simply hard casted a sphinx without the kicker (speed is of the essence) and managed to nail my 3rd archive trap and simply milled him to 0 and won.
Game 3. I sided in 2 luminarch ascension (havent taken any damage for a few turns so I figured I might put some pressure if its t2 luminarchs) and sided out rite of replication since if it got that far to cast it kicked I should have won or lost. I manage to draw into two archive traps and he scooped after i casted both back to back nailing 3 valakuts around turn 5.
Will keep trying to play against more valakuts and give some more detailed info, but from what it looks like the MVP cards are Archive Trap, Spreading Seas, Cancel, and !Hedron Crabs! (though he lived only for one landfall, he will be much missed)
I went to the New York one and surprisingly....not alot of Jund. maybe at best 5-6 decks from what I've seen? There were bunch of Nayas, Boros, a few Xmas decks but none of them made it to top 8 from what I heard. A few RDWs.
