Subject: Onslaught/Onslaught/Legions Draft Report (5/17/03) Shayne Quintons Limited Tourney Report (Onslaught/Onslaught/Legions/ Booster Draft) Gamestop Ajax, Ontario Saturday, May 17th, 2003 14 Partcipants This was my 3rd tourney. My other results were like this: 1st Tourney Games: 2-3-1 Matches: 1-2 5th place (out of 6) 2nd Tourney Games: 2-4-0 Matches 1-3 10th place (out of 10) For this tourney I started out big drafting a Rorix Bladewing 1st pack. I backed it up by getting lots of black creatures and spells. The guys beside me took lots of the good red spells. But I couldn't drop red. Rorix was the only bomb I had. I had 3 chances to get Timberwatch Elf and switch to green but I couldn't. Anyways here was my drafting deck Total: 44 Cards Lands: 17 10x Swamp 7x Mountain Black Creatures: 12 2x Skinthinner 2x Dripping Dead 2x Spined Basher 1x Gempalm Polluter 1x Haunted Cadaver 1x Sootfeather Flock 1x Aphetto Vulture 1x Festering Goblin 1x Infernal Caretake Black Spells: 6 1x Smother 1x Swat 1x Dirge of Dread 1x Misery Charm 1x Cruel Revival 1x Aphetto Dredging Red Creatures: 4 1x Rorix Bladewing 1x Bloodstroke Howler 1x Spurred Wolverine 1x Frenetic Raptor Red Spells: 4 1x Eratic Explosion 1x Lavamancers Skill (There was nothing else to put in) 1x Wave of Indifference 1x Laywaste Sideboard (19 cards) 5x Island 2x Anurid Murkdiver 2x Mistform Mask 1x Lonely Sandbar 1x Crown of Ascension 2x Fugitive Wizard 1x Thrashing Mudspawn 1x Hundroog 1x Mistfrom Mutant 1x Crafty Pathmage 1x Aphetto Alchemist Round 1 vs Chinese Guy (R/U) 3 words. I GOT SMOKED. The closest I got to killing him was when he was at 13 health. Games 0-2 Matches 0-1 Round 2 vs Winner of Last Draft (G/B) 1st game I beat him by keeping his Nantuko Husk off the board. I got Rorix out and that was it for him Games 1-2 2nd Game he pulled out a combo late when I was at 12 health. He sacced a Symbiotic Beast to get +2 +2 onto Nantuko Husk then he sacced all the tokens to get +8 +8. Then he played Vitality charm and sacced that for +2 +2. ME BEING STUPID AND ALL DID NOT BLOCK THE NANTUKO HUSK (He did all this before combat damage was assigned and after blockers were assigned)BECAUSE I HAD A COMBO OF MY OWN THAT COULD HAVE KILLED HIM NEXT TURN! Oh wel Games 1-3l 3rd Game. I basicly did what I did in Game 1. Games 2-3 Matches 1-1 After the game he accused me of cheating. ( he even shuffled my cards and cut my deck)So my friend(A Newb at magic) dissed him up and he left afterwards. Round 3 vs "Veteran" who hasn't played in 6 years (R/G) My friend (Branden) got a bye. But my other friend (Matt) had to battle. I had to win these next two matches. I now loved my Rorix. He was going to draft it if he came ahead of me. Anyways, I lost the first game by just running out of creatures and him attacking me with his 3/4 spitting gourna and his 3/3 pumpable beast. All I had were morph creatures that were useless against him. Games 2-4 The 2nd game it was more close. We both had just a couple of creatures out. We did damage little by little until we dropped both of our bombs. I played my Rorix and attacked him for 6. He was at 10. I was at 10. On his turn he played Silvos. On my turn I didn't attack with Rorix because he could block it with his Spitting Gourna and because I wanted to kill his Silvos. So its his turn. He plays Wave of Indifference targeting both of my creatures, and attacks for 11. I was so surprised. I wasn't expecting him to play that. Games 2-5 Matches 1-2 Round 4 vs Guy with Cleric Deck (W/B) My friend Matt plays Branden of all people (Branden is a Newb). I was thinking here is 2 wins for Matt. (We were both tied at 1-2 and we both really wanted 'my' Rorix.) 1st Game This was the most longest battle of the day. His dumb clerics were so annoying. First I had to swat his Akromas Devoted and then I had to smother his Starlight Invoker. My 2/2 morph creatures weren't enough though. It might of stalled him for a little but he kept regaining life after I had attacked with my Frenetic Raptor. He took game 1 with only a little bit of trouble Games 2-6 2nd Game I sideboarded in 2 Anurid Murkdiver for 2 Dripping Dead. The dripping dead weren't doing much anyways. Anyways he got his usual Cleric army out early while I swatted and smothered his Akromas Devoted and Starlight Envoker until my morph creatures came. I morphed a few creatures and just stalled. Once I got 1 Murkdiver out and Rorix out the game was over. He took 10 damage each turn until he was dead. Games 3-6 3rd Game Matt was already done with Branden he won that series 2-0. Now I knew this was a must win. He was voting for the other guy. He got his Soldiers out and I just took his 1/1 soldier damage until I finally got a Morph creature out. Tha battles went back and forth but I remember I took no damage for a long time. I was at 17 for a REALLY LONG TIME. I swatted his Akromas Devoted as soon as it came out.I started getting my army out. I got out a Frenetic Raptor out and a Murkdiver. He killed the Murkdiver via Profane Prayers but I got it back via Cruel Revival targeting his Starlight Invoker. I started to attack him with my Murkdiver and my Raptor. About two turns later I drew enough mountains to send out............. GUESS WHO? RORIX!! This is where it started to go downhill for him. I then cycled the Gempalm Polluter dealing 3 to him. He was at 18. I attacked with the Rorix and the Raptor but he did his little Prevent damage trick dealing only 6 damage to him he was at 12. The next turn he didn't do anything. I brung out another Murkdiver. I attacked him with the Raptor,Rorix and one Murkdiver. He could only block the Raptor bringing him down to 2. The next turn he played the spell that gains him 6 life and then he just quit because he knew I was going to win next turn anyways. Games 4-6 Matches 2-2 Matt and I both had a record of 2-2. Now it was just all down to who got the most points (points are given due to who you beat, the better the player you beat the more points you get) THE RARE DRAFT We all gave back all our rares for the rare draft. I had came in 6th, Matt came in 8th and Branden in 13th (out of 14 people) The winner took the Holo Bloodstained Mire. THE PERSON RIGHT BEFORE ME TOOK MY RORIX! I was so sad. I took a Toxin Sliver and a Foil Cephalid Path Mage instead (I collect Slivers) Matt took a Kilnmouth Dragon and Branden took a Synapse Sliver. For my second pick I took a Synapse Sliver I forget what Matt took and Brandon took a Mistform Skyreaver. For my third and final pick I was going to take a Vexing Beetle but the person 2 before me took it. So I took whatever even moderatley good was left which happened to be Gangrenous Giant. After the RARE draft the who drafted the RORIX BLADEWING came to me and asked me if he could get the Foil Icy Manipultor for it. I gladly accepted caring less about how good the Manipultor is. Props: Me getting a non losing record!, Getting Akroma in a pack, trading for Rorix, getting all 5 rare slivers in 1 day. Slops: Me not getting a winning game record :(, people trying to rip me off in trades.
