I couldn’t tweet during the event but I had some thoughts that I jotted down in my phone which I will now share unedited:<\/p>\n
Thoughts:<\/p>\n
People are assuming I’m from the philippines which leads to a bit of confusion. \u00a0I don’t speak Tagalog! \u00a0(though I learned how to pronounce it.)<\/p>\n
Round 3 opponent couldn’t believe I was black, exclaimed the unbelievable fact to his friend later.<\/p>\n
He was going to guess half brazillian I guess.<\/p>\n
After I told him of the Jamaican dilutution of my black half, he asked me if I smoked weed, I sadly told him no, but I guess Filipino grass is really good. \u00a0Oh well.<\/p>\n
Rd 1: \u00a0mono-red. \u00a0Game 1 he gets me before i can\u00a0stabilize. I die to hell thunder tricks game 2.<\/p>\n
R2: \u00a0white weeny. \u00a0Game 1 I didn’t draw a planeswalker but sphinx almost got there. \u00a0I couldn’t counter the second conqerors pledge though.<\/p>\n
Games 2 and 3 I did draw planeswalkers. \u00a0I exiled 2 baneslayer angels because emeria was live an I wanted to win. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Rd 3: \u00a0sqeaker games vs Jund. \u00a0 Game 1 he got me with burn mostly. \u00a0Casting hell’s thunder 3 times. \u00a0Game 2 I stabalized but i needed a 6th land for my sphinx for 7 turns before I died to incidental damage that included thunders and sarkhan throwing broodmate dragon’s at me.<\/p>\n
Rd 4: \u00a0vampires. \u00a0No witches or vapors. \u00a0game 1 he hits me with mind sludge to destroy me. \u00a0Game 2 walkers plus sphinx. Game 3 he mulls to 5 and I day 2 hexmages. \u00a0Then I count up Jace because he’s stuck on 2 lands. \u00a05 turns later I ultimate.<\/p>\n
Martin juza should never call a judge.<\/p>\n
Rd 5 vs jund
\nGame one I double sea’d and won with the walkers and sphinx. \u00a0Game 2 I went to 1 before stabalizing with coup and counters. \u00a0I countered a pulse on my tokens but maybe I should save the counters for burn only.<\/p>\n
Rd 6 vs mono green
\nKilled me game 1 with monument. \u00a0Planeswalker awesomeness games 2 and 3. \u00a0Game I day\/coup 3 times.<\/p>\n
Rd 7 vs NLB
\nGame 1 I mulled to 5 and never had more than 2 land. \u00a0Game 2 I mulled again and took some time to get some blue sources. It happens I guess.<\/p>\n
The Mosquitos here love to bite my legs.<\/p>\n
Rd 8 grixis draw.<\/p>\n
Greedy game one. \u00a0Spinx game 2. \u00a010 minutes left. \u00a0Draw.<\/p>\n
Rd 9 gw aggro ramp
\nHe was late so he received a game loss. \u00a0He had a pretty aggressive start game 2 with 2 escorts and so many spawn tokens. \u00a0I slowly ramped up playing walls and spreading seas while keeping negate open for the overrun. \u00a0I countered it eventually and won soon after that.<\/p>\n
So many girls here. \u00a0More girls than I’d ever at any magic event. \u00a0Most were even playing in the event. \u00a0Definitely a good sign for magic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
