Onto the recap of the 4 rounds of friday then, let's start with round 1.
Round 1 vs Blue/Black/Red Mill
This was a very odd matchup to start the match since my opponent ended up at the draft table farthest from me so i didn't know what to expect Game 1 was a rather slow but well paced game with my opponent playing 2 Deranged Assistant's during the first game however he also managed to fix his mana enough to play Olivia Voldaren whom pinged my 2/2 tokens after i played Moan of the Unhallowed then stole them and the one she stole had Trepnation Blade and Cobbled Wings meaning i couldn't block and she swung for lethal for the first match. Game 2 was a bit of a slow paced match up with my opponent constantly milling himself via the Armored Skaab and Deranged Assistant's while holding me off by bouncing my tokens/countering my stuff, eventually though i managed to get through for the final points of damage and onto game 3, Game 3 was a barn burner, i managed turn 1 Diregraf Ghoul into a turn 2 Cobbled Wings when i found out my opponent had 3 Deranged Assistant's i was like wtf and i let him mill himself while taking one of a Armored Skaab every turn for 5 turns till eventually he said "You don't have any sportsmanship, do you" then he conceded, what a ass
1-0 for me as of this point.
Round 2 vs White/Blue Aggro
The card i now despise is Cloistered Youth/Unholy Fiend as it was my bane during this match, i tried to play Moan of the Unhallowed and a few other creatures to back me up namely Riot Devils however with him having 2 Cloistered Youth's turning into Unholy Fiends i was overwhelmed did i mention he brought out nothing else that game that i can recall, kinda wow much, onto game 2. Game 2 was a land screw for my opponent, since he never drew his fourth land and eventually scooped after i overwhelmed him via Moan of the Unhallowed/Bloodcrazed Neonate and we were onto game 3, game 3 is where i made the crucial error of him having a human when i misread the Night Revelers thinking it was me who had to have a human oops on my part, i realized my mistake but eventually lost to a nasty overrun of his Unholy Fiend while having nothing to play or block with.
1-1 at this point.
Game 3 vs No One
Let me explain why, my original opponent didn't show up because he dropped from the event prior to round 3, so that left me wondering, go up and down stairs to figure out why and explain to the tournament organizer what exactly happened according to the other players, at that point i was like huh and realized a win was a win so i took it and went onto a nice 2-1
2-1 at this point.
Game 4 vs Red/Black Death
Due to the previous screw up my opponent was another person all together, after getting it sorted out since my win was counted as a loss previous round, due to a mistake on the tournament organizer's end, i got paired with another opponent after costing 10 minutes in the round, it was nothing short of stupid that it was, i don't even thinking it was worth mentioning that i lost 2-0 due to a lot of early mistakes and Bump in the Night which is the worst 1 drop spell of the set, never draft that stupid card unless you get 6 of em.
2-2 at this point and that ended the night, again i fell short of the prize contention due to annoyances/etc oh well next week i'm going to skip draft and go straight for EDH instead where i will be putting my Mimeoplasm EDH deck to the test against the best toronto has to offer, till next time this is vergil signing off.
