This is gonna be long ...
My Regionals 2008 tournament – recapI decided to use the UB Faeries that was crested by some Japanese dude which uses Shriekmaw and Makeshift Mannequin. Here are some of the re-cap for each round if I can remember.
Round 1 (UB Faeries)Honestly, I did not practice at all against mirror match-up. This is the game on who gets the Bitterblossom out 1st wins the game. 1st game, lets make it short … my opponent has 2 Bitterblossom in play and had some counterspells in his hand. 2nd game, I sideboard in 3 Thoughtseize and 3 Fledging Mawcor, I was land flood the whole time, even with Ancestral Vision resolves, I kept on drawing lands. I manage to Thoughseize and reveal 1 Peppersmoke, 1 Spellstutter Sprite and 2 Sower of Temptation (I even wrote it down) and I have 1 Ancestral Vision with 1 counter left. My huge mistake was, I when and remove the Sower of temptation, which I was supposed to remove the Spellstutter Sprite, after that my Ancestral Vision resolve, he counter it with Spellstutter Sprite, then I told myself, it okay. Then during his upkeep, I got 6 mana, and I cast Spellstutter Sprite after that (still during his upkeep), I cast Mistbind Clique, which I forgotten he has a Peppersmoke in hand, then onwards it a GG for me.
0-1 | 0-2Round 2 (Mono-Black Control)This is my 1st time playing Mono-Black Control (MBC). 1st game, t2 Bitterblossom, I kept on making creatures, in the end I control the board with my faeries, Spellstutter Sprite and Scion of Oona, he drop stuff which all I countered. He also dropped Lillian Vess that was attack by my faeries and died. All my faeries smack for the win. 2nd game, I sideboarded in 3 Thoughtseize only. My Thoughseize remove his Demigod of Revenge. I got a t2 Bitterblossom as well but after the game go further, he Tendrils of Corruption my Mistbind Clique but I still has another one in my hand. During his upkeep, I cast out Mistbind Clique and during my turn, all my Faeries attack.
1-1 | 2-0Round 3 (Doran Rock)This is also my 1st time going against a Doran Rock deck. 1st game I won easily with lotsa Spellstutter Sprite in my hand, a turn 2 Bitterblossom (but got Oblivion Ring-ed) I then cast another Bitterblossom again (and got Oblivion Ring-ed again) but in the end Mistbind Clique saves the day. 2nd game, I sideboarded Damnation and Flashfreeze, it was his game as he stompy me all the way. 3rd game, same as 1st game, I had like 5 counterspells in hand which is 2 Spellstutter, 2 Rune Snag and 1 Cryptic Command. I just keep on countering on whatever he cast out and win the game.
2-1 | 2-1Round 4 (Dragonstorm)This is the fastest game I ever played. 1st game, 4-turn killed. He cast double Grapeshot with Pyromancer's Swath in play dealing me a massive 15 damage which my life was already down to 14 after receiving 2 Rift Bolt. I sideboarded Thoughseize as I have nothing else to sideboard against Dragonstorm deck. 2nd game, t2 Bitterblossom in play, I was producing my faeries tokens and I Thoughtseize him pulling something which I can’t remember what. Hehe ?. I had a Spellstutter Sprite, Rune Snag and Cryptic Command in my hands and he got tons of lands. During his turn, he resolve Lotus Bloom which I countered it with Spellstutter Sprite, then he cast Pyromancer's Swath, which I did not counter, he cast out a Rift Bolt which I counter it with Cryptic Command and bouncing back the Pyromancer's Swath, he recast Pyromancer's Swath, which I can’t counter with Rune Snag since he got tons of mana know that he has a Grapeshot in hand. Then he cast Grapeshot and took the game.
2-2 | 0-2Round 5 (G/W Mesa)Ill keep this short, some ppl may know why. 1st game, I got a turn 2 Bitterblossom producing my faeries like mad. He cast got Glittering Wish and search for Vexing Shusher and cast it out. Then on my turn, I just Shriekmaw it. By then I have a lot of Faeries in play, he cast Wrath of God and I countered it. It was my game. 2nd game, I got greed and cast 2 Bitterblossom because I got 2 Mistbind Clique in hand, my opponent got plenty of mana (lands) and he cast Sacred Mesa. Just say … he Wrath of God ant I died by my 2 Bitterblossom. Move on the 3rd game, he cast Martyr of Sands in turn 1 and I had another turn 2 Bitterblossom on my board. I Thoughtseize him taking out his Crovax in response he gain life till 29 life, soon after that Glittering Wish again but could not find the Vexing Shusher because it was in the main deck already, that was 1 mistake he made. I was board controlling him with my faeries tokens and a Mistmind Clique. I keep on smacking his for a few turns. I decide to cast Wrath of God and just got countered by Cryptic Command and I won.
3-2 | 2-1Round 6 (R/B Demigod)My opponent was playing a new deck with Demigod and Dusk Urchin. Both 1st game and 2nd game my opponent just run outta gas after 5-6 lands in play. My MVP for this round will be Mistbind Clique and Makeshift Mannequin.
4-2 |2-0In the end I was place #11. If I do the wrong re-cap, do correct me yea. Was very sleepy while writing this. LOL.
like I told u day b4 in Toybox, Faerie will face alot obstacle. Consider good u can go 4 - 2.
