April 7th Misty Mountain Predictions/Event Report

[webtroll]

Packing has kept me from thinking on this too harshly, but at the same time, you would think being in packing mode would lend to wanting to draft this week. To prepare for the upcoming Regional Champs, we are doing constructed again.

The Dude - I have found I am losing my knack for this, so I am going to go with a Luther deck. I think he will want to perfect this a bit more. Otherwise, Malick.

The German Kid - I would be surprised if he brought Nefertiri two weeks in a row. So I am going to call either Ritchie or Marcus for this week. I think those are in his top 4 to play, so likely it will be one of those two (assuming Thomas doesn't read this and switch decks... lol)

Van the Man[ager] - Unless one of us drops a deck on him, I am guessing Rameriez as that seems to be the most fleshed out of his decks. That, or he will attempt to put together that Kyala deck he is working on.

Zombie Joe - I honestly have no idea what I am going to be playing this week. Possibly something movie-ish since AMC had Highlander on all weekend. (The original movie that is.) But we will see. I have been trying out a couple of gimmick deck ideas lately.

The Dude - Redneck Duncan (running Avery Hoskins)
The German Kid - Katana Cheese
Van the Man[ager] - Annie Devlin, Crazy Biatch
Zombie Joe - Yung Dol Fasil

Round One - Zombie Joe vs. The German Kid... FIGHT!!!

Although the cheese did have an early effect on Yung Dol, he managed to disarm General Katana and get to the point of swinging for the fences and taking his head.

He did manage to make me rip on a sniper to prevent me from being able to draw more cards later in the game. I hated to spend my rip card so early in the event, but it was worth it.

Round Two - Zombie Joe vs. The Dude... FIGHT!!!

Although he did manage to get me to the point of having to deal with Avery Hoskins and his BS, I was managing to deal with the exertions without going down faster than the attacks I was dealing.

In the end, I was down to 3 ability and made him exert through his last 3 or 4 cards with a disarm check. I was left with no head shot as I had exerted past the head shot.

Round Three - Zombie Joe vs. Van the Man[ager]... FIGHT!!!

He managed to get through several passes of his deck without taking much for damage, but bringing him down from ability loss. The head shot was thrown, but there was a dodge in his final exertion to save his head.

Summary...
Zombie Joe 3 wins 0 losses, 1 head taken
The German Kid 2 wins 1 loss, 1 head taken
Van the Man[ager] 1 win, 2 losses, no heads taken
The Dude 0 wins, 3 losses, no heads taken
