Misty Mountain June Sealed Event

[webtroll]

As we are devoid of starters (well, we have 1 Season 3 starter left), we will be doing another Methos vs. Kalas event.

Each player will be getting either a Methos deck or a Kalas deck and 2 boosters. To add some fun to it, we will be drafting the boosters.

Predictions for the Event
Zombie Joe (Methos)
Nick (Kalas) -- he got Methos last time
The Dude (Methos) -- at least that is what he said he wanted
The German Kid (Kalas) -- I think he said he wanted Kalas
Van the Man(ager) -- well that leaves him open to whichever flavor he wants.

The German Kid did in fact want to play Kalas more than Methos. The Dude really wanted to play Methos more than Kalas. Nick and I decided it the way we always do... (Dude, you played Methos last time...) Van the Man(ager) went with Kalas. His may have been random, I forget.

German Kid -- Kalas
The Dude -- Methos
Van the Man(ager) -- Kalas
Zombie Joe -- Methos
Nick -- Kalas

As a curve ball, I picked up 5 more boosters and we drafted 3 boosters each to go with the precon deck. That gave us more cards to work with, more thought behind our draft, and more that players needed to trim out of their deck before playing.

Round One... Hot Methos on Methos Action (Me vs. The Dude)... FIGHT!!!

We were both playing heavy decks, so were dropping cards to cycle through fairly regularly. I managed to brainfart on saving my Pressed Attack to go with my Richie "Tricks of My Own" (or whatever his UB/UD attack is), Methos Extra Attack YDK Masters Attack. I did still manage to sneak in a few attacks (being an attack heavy draft, while keeping a large number of full grid dodges (which I drafted a bunch of).

Even though I cycled first, I managed to keep him on his heels. I had him down, but he pulled off the Upper Right Block in the exertion to cover the one grid I could head shot to (and did). So, he managed to keep his head.

1-0 no heads

Round 2... Methos vs. Overconfident Kalas (Me vs. The German Kid)... FIGHT!!!

The fight went real close. I managed to cycle before him, although my watcher kept his hunters on their toes. I also managed to regain my weapon the one time he disarmed me with a Watcher Fair Fight (he didn't fully read the card). Pulling off some combos later in the game go us to the point of him exhaust through and dropping to 0 before me, but keeping his head.

2-0 no heads taken

Round Three... Methos vs. Kalas (Me vs. Nick)... FIGHT!!!

As we were the only undefeated immortals, we were the last to fight. I was able to pull off most of my combos fairly early on. I drew much of it, and was able to discard into the rest. There was some fight left in him though, so I had to keep my wits about me on what not to discard.

In the end, he did not exert into the defense to keep his head.

3-0 1 head taken

Final Standings
Zombie Joe -- 3-0 with 1 head taken
The German Kid -- 2-1 with 1 head taken
Nick -- 2-1 with no heads taken
The Dude -- 1-2 no heads taken
Van the Man(ager) -- 1-2 no heads taken

Note: All players but the undead ones (me and Nick) had a Bye Round.
