As most of you players and friends know I went to game day Saturday august 9th 2014. Most of you know that I did pretty well and also use my sliver deck. It was kind of a last minute decision to use the deck, so I am glad I went with the deck because otherwise I don’t think I would’ve done as well, but yet again we would never know until I give it a try.
As first of the rounds gets started I played against a super nice girl (mind you everyone I played against and talked to were pretty darn awesome) with a black/white deck. As I put out my mana onto the battle field she noticed I’m playing tri colored deck and as soon as I put out belligerent sliver onto the battlefield, she gave me this look and said “a nylea sliver deck?” I respond nicely with a “yup” and a smile. She proceeds to letting me know how much she hates playing against slivers for the rest of the round we played. It was quite fun to play her, especially with the first win I made was with all my slivers I control can’t be blocked except by two or more creature’s, double strike, produce mana, and having +1/+1 counters added to them. She had attacked me last turn with one of two creatures she had out so with all my creatures swinging (for 18 points of damage by the way) she couldn’t even block one of them giving me the win. now with the second hand we played she had more creatures out trying to keep up with the belligerent sliver’s ability and swinging at me for small damage points but I end up blocking her creatures killing them before they do anything to my creatures. The second hand gave me the win by swinging for 24 points of damage, even when she was able to block one of my creatures she was still being hit with 20 points of damage hitting her 16 life total down to below zero. Round 1 win goes to me.
At this point I’m catching my breath, only because that’s a first win right out of the bat. Moving onto round two playing against a red/blue deck which was obvious just from the first land card he put out (a pain land). The player is fairly new to the game with only starting two weeks before m-15 came out. But he did put up a pretty good fight with his deck. First round pretty much destroyed him rather quickly, I killed him with a sorcery card Lava axe which deal 5 points of damage to him. The second round he did really well (me being mana screwed helped too) he put out three enchantments where it would deal one damage to my creatures when they attack (I can’t remember what the name of the card is to save my life) so with me forgetting about the enchantment card being there I kept killing my creatures, stupid move really but I couldn’t get anywhere with what I have coming out. So the second hand went to him. Now the third hand he was mana screwed and couldn’t get his guttersnipe out the quickly enough to do some excessive damage to me. So I have won round two with my slivers swinging for 13 getting his life total down below zero. Second round won by me.
Now the third round lasted like 10 minutes it seems because I was playing against and black and red aggro deck. Annihilated me in what seems like 2 moves. I couldn’t get my creature out quickly enough to do anything. Obviously the second round I lost. This is ok with me only because I’m now 2 wins and 1 loss. I knew I’m going against other people who done pretty well in the other rounds. But I was happy because that’s really the most wins I’ve ever done at an event at my LGS, or any other place I’ve attended events at.
Now it’s the fourth round. I’m playing against a guy I’ve seen at the shop a few time before and usually do pretty well when it comes to his deck. First hand ended rather quickly with him putting an artifact and then enchanting it with ensoul artifact making it a 5/5 indestructible creature swinging with it each turn until my life total ran out. The second and third hand took a little bit longer to finish. But I did win the second hand but I barely held on, it wouldn’t have lasted as long if I didn’t get my belligerent sliver and bonescythe sliver out there. The third round he had 2 dragons out and kept swinging with them. But I had enough creatures out to be able to take majority of his life total down but I t wasn’t enough to beat him.
That last lost gave me a 2 win 2 loss record and placed 5th place out of 12. I couldn’t be happier with the result of the day. I didn’t win any packs but I did get a top eight promo card and also a participation card. The top eight promo is a foil chief engineer, and the participation promo card is reclamation sage (with an awesome alternate art).
