PTQ Kyoto 2

Saturday 27 December 2008 - Filed under Magic the Gathering

The last limited tournament of the season, it was last week, December 20 at Robinson’s Galleria. The format was Shards of Alara sealed deck. For once, I opened a pretty good pool. Unfortunately, I failed to make the follow through. Decklist and (short) tournament report follows.

(The decklist above only lists 39 cards…not sure what the missing 40th card was )

The pool was pretty meaty, with lots of removal. Unfortunately, removal doesn’t help if you don’t draw it. I lost round 2 to an opposing Mycoloth without drawing any of my O-rings. In round 3 I lost in game 3 to mana screw – I drew a lot of red burn but the mountain didn’t come out until I was on my last legs.

Round 1: 2-1 win
Round 2: 1-2 loss
Round 3: 0-2 loss

I was a bit frustrated due to having a nice pool but bad luck (and admittedly, not so tight plays), so I just dropped after going 1-2. My limited playing has been really bad lately, I hit a GPT top 8 at the very start of the limited season but after that all the GPTs and PTQs I joined I scrubbed out. I think I need to take a break from Magic for a while :p

Will probably resume playing when Conflux comes out (or if there are any good Standard tourneys in January)
