So my first week with tokes... It got me in the swing back to my 3-2 self. Although, I could have gone 4-1 to make the final but i got a really really bad match up... Lets start with match up one... here we go!
Planeswalkers v. Tokes.
game1: good start got my tide hollow out turn to stick an Ajani eot for a few turns. that was followed by my Medowgrain and then another tidehollow to stick garruk under there. No anthems came out and i didn't see the cousin of Ajaini ven. Both my tidehollows were a bust. he eventually over ran me with garruk.
game 2: pretty much the same... only one tide hollow and a bitter blossom and a glorious. Lost again to a overrun. this time to the help of elspeth....
look back: I spent allot of time with planes walker hate. Giving my opponent allot of time to build and destroy. Should i have just said fuck you planes walkers most certainly. I could have killed my opponent well before he got underway. lesson learned.
Not sure (Angel life link kinda deck.) v. Tokes
game1: Turn to BB. followed by a turn three glorious and turn four spectral turn five and six were a bit of a stale mate and turn 7 attack with three and flip 2 cloud goats from under wind brisk.... " i concede." Never heard that before.
game2: Turn two Hollow nabs me a wrath!!! GO GO HOLLOW! turn three medowgrain. turn four hollow grabs me an elspeth WOW GREAT HOLLOWS! and the only thing that could make it better was the turn five glorious. I hope you have another wrath in there buddy you're going to need it. He knew he was dead next turn and again looked at me and said you go it.
Boatbrew v. Tokes....
Before i even start with this one i just wanna say one things..... I OWNED HIM HARD.
game1: t1 bitter, t2 medowgrain, t3 glorious, t4 ajani game.
game: alright this one was the hope crusher for the kid. he got screwed with a 2 land hand after mulling down to five. what else could you do muli to four and gimme a 2 turn head start? he eventually conceded and left the shop... (i thought that last bit was funny.)
Elves V. Tokes......
Game one and two went very well. I was actually very pissed off for losing this game. I know this kid should have not won but i was getting beat up by a nasty hang over. I know this is a really bad match up for me. but i also know i am a far better player then this kid is. so I know what i did wrong and that was not muli enough. I took hands that had unplayable cards in them like a fool.
That this last weeks match ups. Next week i will be doing my last draft for a while in the shop. I am starting a new job and i don't know when i will be able to get in there for another one.I am going to be getting as many Sundays in as possible. I just hope that the effort and cash and stress i put in to tokes doesn't go to waste. On another note A very good friend and i have started to pool together and team. we are building decks and our hope is to just get invited to a PT soon. we shall see. anyway stop by for more updates and more magic fun.
