Dustin Davis This week was spring break so it allowed me to do a lot of research into what I am going to play at regionals. At first I was going to play psychatog or ubg control when I decided to look into a deck that I saw at a local jss, "PT Junk". The deck placed 3rd but smashed the top 15 year old and under player consistently who was playing gomar. I decided that day to start looking into the deck but as far as regionals was concerned nothing was decided. This week I must have read 10 reports on "PT Junk" trying to find out every angle of the deck possible. On Friday night when I got to the store the guy who had my 3/4 complete "PT Junk" deck didn't show up. I was going to sit this tournament out but at the last minute he shows up. I go to my friend Mario and pick up the last Vindicates I need for my deck, then I remember that my friend has my playset of caves and my playset of Spectral lynx so I pick up 2 Spectral lynx and four Caves of koilos. I am forced to sub Plague spitters for the lynx because no one has Phyrexian ragers, not even the store! finally I am ready and I sit down to play. Round 1 Mario playing UWB desolation angel control Mario is a really good player and a good friend of mine. He's helped me out in a lot of tournaments. game 1: Mario gets stuck on three lands and I Vindicate his Coastal tower to stick him with no source of white mana to play Spectral lynx. He gets trampled by spiritmonger and call tokens. game 2: He gets a decent amount of lands but see's no counters. I get rid of his hand in about 4 turns and run him over with a Mystic enforcer (pre-threshold). He plays Wrath of god putting me into threshold and next turn I drop another Mystic enforcer and he scoops. 1-0 2-0 Round 2 Mark playing GRb fires This round lasts less than 10 minutes. game 1: I get lots of early discard and demolish his hand in 3 turns and then play a Spiritmonger and disrupt his mana with Vindicate. game 2: See game 1. 2-0 4-0 Round 3 James playing ubg control. James has a really solid deck but seems to get beat a lot despite that. game 1: Game is really close until he drops a Spiritmonger and I don't have an answer. Game 2: This game is also very close but I establish control and Haunting echoes him and he scoops. Game 3: Game three went just like game two only the Haunting echoes resolves without a scoop and he is left with 2 Prohibit and one Pernicious deed in his deck. 3-0 6-1 Round 4 Barry playing a very good version of Wb weenie. We decide to split and both make top 8. 3-0-1 6-1 Round 5 first round of top eight, I play Mark again. game one: He and I play tag with our Spiritmongers until I drop another Spiritmonger and he loses. game two: I draw lots of land. I play some early threats and he Obliterates but I have 2 lands in my hand along with a Ravenous rats. My next two draws are lands so a rat and a flashbacked Call of the herd take the day. 4-0-1 8-1 Round 6 Louie with Wr weenie He is a good player but he wouldn't trade me Spiritmongers before the tournament so I payed him back. game one: Back to back Resilient wanderers have me bad until I get rid of his hand and drop a Call of the herd token and flash it back the next turn to win. game two: This game is really close. At one point I am stuck with a Spiritmonger and a Mystic enforcer (with threshold) versus two Resilient wanderers and a Mystic crusader. Somehow he gets rid of my Mystic enforcer so I am stuck with just a spiritmonger. He declares his attack phase and to his surprise I rout as an instant (I know I know, it doesn't go in "PT Junk" but I built the sideboard in less then 5 minutes). The next turn I flashback a call of the herd and drop ravenous rats and he loses. 5-0-1 10-1 round 7 barry again This match was very intense game one: I get very little discard and I beat him into the ground with a Spiritmonger and a Nantuko Cultivator as a 3/3 after multiple deeds and edicts and then deed for 3 and win. game two: I rape his hand with discard but he still recovers before I have a chance. Chainer's edict cleans up and I drop a Spiritmonger for the win. 6-0-1 12-1 This was a really good tournament overall. As for my props and slops: Props: *Mario for hooking me up with the cards I needed to finish my deck *Chris Harris for the Call of the herd *Mark for the spiritmonger *Me for going undefeated as far as matches go with my first time playing the deck. *Opponents for not complaining too much *Cheif and Barry for running a smooth tournament. Here is what I ran: 2x Spiritmonger (*MVP*) 4x Vindicate 4x Chainer's edict 4x Duress 3x Call of the herd 2x Spectral lynx <-----<--------<----------< 2x Plague spitter (for lack of a better cars ^) 1x Nantuko Cultivator 4x Ravenous rats 2x Mystic enforcer 4x Pernicious deed 4x gerrard's verdict 9x Swamp 4x Caves of koilos 4x Elfhame palace 3x Llanowar wastes 1x Forest 1x Plains 1x Darigaaz's caldera Sideboard was crap but here you go: 2x Mesmeric fiend 2x Haunting echoes 2x Rout 2x Orims chant 2x Wrath of god 2x Spellbane centaur 3x Kavu chameleon Here is what I, and hopefully the rest of T.V. will be running at regionals.
