Round 1 vs Jund (Jason)
Dammit, just gotta bump into the only 2 person in the whole room that knows I m running storm.
Game 1: Nothing much really, couldnt get a decent draw and Jason quickly put me on clock b4 i tried to tried to storm off.. couldn't draw a past in flames nor 2nd grapeshot.
Board in 3 Empty, 4 bolts took out 2 Epic, 1 increasing vengeance, 2 ascension, 1 grapes shot ( Cos i know jason runs surgical extraction) 1 electromancer.
Game 2: Mull to 6, and kept a hand that storm off with empty the warren for 5 on turn 2. Jund couldnt keep up with that =)
Game 3 was a bit tricky, i choose to keep a 1 land hand since i m on draw and it has a serum vision and a electormancer, past in flames , a couple of rituals and a grape shot.
Draw. grapeshot. Damnit
Land, serum vision. Draw. !@#%@#$@#. 2 lands on top. hmmm.
decided to scry away 1 land since i have a electromancer in hand..
Draw, land, cast electromancer end.
by then opp has a goyf and a treetop villager waiting to pound on me.
Draw another land, play it and play some draw spell.
He cast a lotv and +1, i discard a past in flame (cos i need the rituals)
Turn 5 i tried to do a 'blind storm', drew nothing but lands and since i m on clock , i have to storm off for 7 damage to kill off his goyf.
He swung with his bbe and dark confidant. to put me to 1 life.
Turn 6. It's now or never. With electromancer in play, I just need 1 seething song and i can flashback my past in flames and storm for lethal.
1 seething...
1 seething song...
and it was a bolt......=(
Round 1 lost 1-2
Round 2 was against a Infect deck. At this point, I was thinking about my lunch cos it's most prob the worst match up for a storm deck.
Game 1 i mull to 5 due to land screwed, nothing much to talk about since he end my miserable life by turn 4.
Board in 4 bolt, 3 pyromancer swath and a slagstorm, out goes 1x empty 2 epic, 1 increasing, 3 past in flames and 1 electormancer.
Game 2, I drew 1 bolts 1ritual 1 seething 1 gape shot 1 pyromancer swath 2 sulfur falls (yes gerald this is y i should play shivan reef.)
me: falls tapped.go
opp: inkmoth. Go
I draw into 1 into a probe.
Me: falls tapped. go
Opp cracked a breeding pool and activate his inkmoth and attack for 1 poision.
Draw another bolt, hell yeah!
Me: probe u
Opp reveal nothing but pump spell.
draw into another probe.
At this point, i was pretty certain i can win since i have 2 bolts in hand and my grapshot+swath is pretty much lethal to him.
End.
Opp drop another misty rainforest and swing for another posion.
EOT: i threw 2 bolt in his face.17 -> 11
I drew a land and play it.
Me: probe.
Opp reveal his hand and i proceed on to stor....
WAIT!
He has something blue in his hand... BLUE instant TT_TT
HE TOP DECKED A MOFUKING SPELL PIERCE!
and things went downhill from there. Tried to play past the pierce, but opp was pro enough not to get tricked. and so GG
Round 2 lost 0-2
At this point life was meaningless until i saw a sadder face, Zane! He had a bad round 1 lost due to some error which was spotted and reported by another player, the other tron player no less.. and round 2 he lost to sowing salt.
So when i was paired against him i decided to joke around abit, cheer him up or something.
Round 3 Vs GR TRON (winner of 2nd monthly modern tourney at gh, ZANE)
Okay game 1, so as to cheer him up, I let him have the win ;). Besides that, he had a mb relic of progenitus, which stopped my past in flames combo. And besides the fact that i empty the warren for 6 storm counts, and he has a pyroclasm in hand. Yup, I let him have that win. ;)
Sbed in 4 bolts, 3 pyromancer swath. out 2 epic (notice the trend?), 1 empty the warren, 1 increasing vegeance 1 past in flames and 2 pyromancer ascension.
G2, Can't rmbed what happened but i storm off with a couple of bolts and finished off 2 grape shots.
G3, drew a 2 land hand, a bolt 1 swath, 1 grape shot and 1 ritual and 1 seeething song.
Keepable i guess.
Zane drop a tron tower and cast a expedition map like a boss.
I drew another swath, played the land and go
He played his tron mine and end.
I drew another bolt and at this point i was thinking hard. mr karn will pretty much disrupt my game, but nothing much can be done at this point. so i just end my turn.
He crack his map eot and cast a wurmcoil during his turn.
Should i bolt his wurmcoil? hmmm.. i should have lethal damage as long as i top deck another ritual if i bolt him now.. The gambler inside me took over and shot him with 2 bolts (20->14)
But life's a bitch and gave me another bolt, causing me to be 2 damage short from lethal.
End.
Next turn, Zane cast a couple of cromatics and attacked with his hungry wurmcoil. (14->20)
It's now or never!Just need another land or ritual..
land or ritual..
And it is a landl!!!
hell yeah, I played the land, cast ritual seething song swath bolt for 5 damage and grapeshot for the lethal 20 damage =)
Me and Zane was about to drop g4 since there's no point in playing, but suddenly we heard a voice.
"round 4 pairing!'
and Johnson, another regular at GH's modern tourney came over to me and ask You are Jia leong right?
Darn, not another jund player~~and the worst part is he refused to let me drop. =( and since Zane was paired against his new arch enemey, the other tron guy, i thought what the heck.
It was a damn funny game 1 cos, he cast bbe 2 twice, both cascading into abrupt decay, while i cast my 1st epic expt of the day for 3 and hit 1 land 1 ascension 1 serum vision. lol. g1 lost for me
Pretty much the same sb as when i play against Jason, Board in 3 Empty, 4 bolts took out 2 Epic, 1 increasing vengeance, 2 ascension, 2 electromancer.
G2 ended quickly when i cast a turn 2 empty the warren for 5 counts.
G3 ended on turn 3-4 where he cast his bbe into a dc or something and i storm off with 2 grapeshot.
and that marks the end of my first gpt. The storm may be weak and disappointing this turn, but just you wait. THE EPIC STORM WILL BE BACK
