Store Name: Disposable Heroes Location: Johnston, Rhode Island Format: 4 Rounds of Swiss style, top 4 advance Fee: $5 Date:March 12,2005 Well, it's been one month since I won the Tourny of the 5 Civilizations in RI. This day didn't start to well when as soon as I got up it was snowing -_- I continued getting ready, hoping to go. I called the place, and THANK GOD they were open. I did a report that was due the day before so I could actually go. I hopped in the car (I love starting with that line) and we went to get my friend. Once we had him, it was off to BK (:D) When we got to DH (nickname of Disposable Heroes) I looked forward and didn't see anyone, but then I turned to my right and saw three people. I was worried that we weren't gonna have a tourny, but we just got by with 8 people entering. Check the deck. M-M-M-MANA! Deck Total: 45 cards Creatures: Avalanche Giant x3 Raging Dash-Horn x4 Rumbling Terahorn x4 Niofa, Horned Protector x2 Torcon x4 Barkwhip, the Smasher x4 Bronze-Arm Tribe x4 Poisonous Mushroom x4 Burning Mane x3 Fighter Dual Fang x2 Spells: Mana Nexus x4 Dimension Gate x2 Natural Snare x4 Tourny Time! Round 1 Drizer vs. ... I looked at the match up sheet, and I was suppose to face this kid, but he had left. I basically got a bye this round. 0-0 Round 2 Drizer vs. Cory (His Deck: Blue/Green) Match 1 I started off with a quick hand, getting out a mushroom on my second turn and laying extra mana. It was his third turn, he puts out a King Coral. I draw, get nothing I can play yet. Then attack with my mushroom.Then, I pretty much delayed breaking sheilds, making him top-deck. When I had enough creatures (Niofa, 2 Barkwhips, Torcon, 2 Poisonous Mushrooms) I just swung away for the 1 shot kill. Match 2 This match was very good on my part. I started with a great hand. First, I had two Barkwhips on the field. Again, I started making him top-deck. Then, I pulled out a Terahorn and searched for another Barkwhip for a total of 3. Then, guess what? I drew yet another Barkwhip. 4 Barkwhips on the feild! Powering each other to 11,000 a peice. Then, I just summoned Niofa just to myself look cool and swung with him for the win Current Record: 1-0 Round 3 Drizer vs. Josh (His Deck:Test Mono Black Deck) I was very suprised that Josh was already 4-3 since you usually does awesome, yet again he was only testing a new mono-black deck. Let's see how the matches went down. I'm not gonna really go through the matches very much, since all the matches were pretty much the same. We would both take some shots at each other with some weenies. Luckily, the win came to me. Only the second time I have beaten Josh in tourny play. First time Josh has been knocked out of the top 4 in constructed play =) Round 4 Drizer vs. Joe (His Deck: Green/Yellow) Match 1 I was stalling which isn't the easiest thing to do with a mono nature deck. He summoned an Alcadeis. He hits a couple of my sheilds. He hit a Torcon. I then evo'd the Torcon to Barkwhip. If he didn't have Holy Awe, I would win. I hit 2 sheilds, nothing. Another one, "Mana Nexus!!" he said. Then, I cooly said: "Wow, your Alcadeis just $cre\/\/ecl (trying to bleep it) you" Then I hit the last of his sheilds with no Holy Awes and I won. Match 2 I get my hand, I didn't see anything under a 3. This was litterly my face -_- LOL, I thought I had a high hand? His lowest was like a 5 or 6. His hand just delayed his progress and I just got some small creatures out and won. Congratz to my deck!! First time it was in the Top 2! Round 5/ Championships Drizer vs. Mike S. Match 1 He got a Valdios out early on me. I battled back and was making him top deck when I had no sheilds. I knew if I hit sheilds and he got a speed attacker I was done. Just my luck, he drew one :*( Match 2 I just got rushed to death, not being able to do anything at all Props and Slops Time!!
