League night at Golden Store Talenti
Golden Store Talenti
Three league rounds: I lost the first two and won the third, finishing second to last with 3 points. This is the first recorded result with the October 1 list, the one with Torpor Orb in the sideboard.
List used in this session
Two Torpor Orbs in the sideboardNotes from the session
Round one, lost 2–0 to a very aggressive mono-red deck: red creatures dealing damage every turn, plus a card that made me lose 1 life every time I drew. I lost both games in about six turns.
Round two, lost 2–1 to Izzet Spellementals. I won game one because my opponent never drew or cast Sunderflock: I closed it out with Icetill Explorer and other creatures. In games two and three, though, Sunderflock bounced all my creatures back to my hand. I never drew Mossborn Hydra, and Torpor Orb got destroyed.
Round three, won 2–0 against another Izzet deck, this time without Sunderflock. My opponent could not find lands: they had combo pieces in hand but could not cast them. I won game one in six turns, growing Sazh’s Chocobo up to 7 with Icetill Explorer. Game two took five or six turns, with Leatherhead on the battlefield and Mightform Harmonizer doubling a creature’s power.
Final standings: second to last with 3 points. First place finished on 7, second and third on 6, and fourth on 4: that was the very opponent I beat in round three.
