[Masters Tourney, Trials 5] MrBlonde 3 - 10 men 0

[MrBlonde]

Just wanted to say good games 10 men. Sorry it didn't go your way. I just picked the right decks at the right time and it didn't hurt that i got good to very good draws. Wasn't going to post my decks.... but with only 6 cards off-element it's not like this is rocket science.

Game 1 - Figured that he would use purifies game one so i made a deck with no poisons at all... i used a modified version of darkness dominion. He managed to get out an early eternity which i promptly stole and basically most of the game went with me playing my recluse and it getting rewinded. I also had a vamp dagger out which defrayed much of the damage that came my way. He managed to get a pharoah out pretty late but really wasn't able to dent my HP that badly.

Game 2 - 10men used the same deck again and this time i decided to use EQ's with poison. Got an early arsenic out, EQ'd his pillars and we again played the recluse rewind game as again he had an early eternity out. Unfortunately for 10men he was quanta starved and was forced to use his scarce quanta supply rewinding me every turn which in turn did not allow him to damage me very much this game either. Also i saved my 2 starting poisons in my hand to play when he played his purifies as getting the early arsenic would force him to play them.

Game 3 - This time i knew for sure he wouldn't use this deck again. I had a feeling nightmare/GoTP was coming so i sent my dial/poison/dragon deck against him. And lucky for me i was correct. Saw the darkness mark and was just hoping it was a full nightmare deck with no steals. Got out a first turn arsenic 4 dials in hand and it was off to the races. Played one card at a time to limit the nightmare damage and actually at one point i actually chose to discard a GoTP (i used hasten each turn to speed up my draw and i pulled a dragon on one of them so rather then playing an additional dial or discarding my dragon i just took the damage instead) to put my HP to 50. Not really much 10men could do here though as my poison damage just mounted up.

Good games 10men and good luck in the elimination bracket.

Yeah good decks MrBlonde, was a pleasure playing you.

Death is a really difficult matchup in the first place as Recluses are fast, Poison ignores Shields and Arsenic beats healing, and I got outdecked a little too, so I didn't have much of a chance.
