Ronnan Wins

Ronnan wins vs Holzi

---

by coolcreep on 2008-12-28 01:05 CET

@linkman: Glad to see you like my name for the deck :)
@ cmc: You do realize Ronnan and Holzi's list has blink in it, right?

---

by Diablo49 on 2008-12-28 01:12 CET

i win 2-1 vs ronnan

cya

---

by cmc on 2008-12-28 01:28 CET

of course coolcreep.
Ronnan (blink) beats HHH (not blink)
Argus (blink) beats Canabiest (not blink)
Holzi (blink) beats you (blink)
Diablo (not blink) beats Boogaloo (not blink)

Ronnan (blink) beats Holzi (blink)
Diablo (not blink) beats Argus (blink)

Diablo (not blink) beats Ronnan (blink)

Blink's only losses were to blink and the storm deck, but I hear Ronnan mulled 5 times in the last 2 games so whatever.

---

by coolcreep on 2008-12-28 01:35 CET

Oh ya i misread you, sorry. Ya blink should probably go ahead and get banned for the next tournament.

---

by Benobi on 2008-12-28 01:36 CET

Sheesh, that's one SB card short of a mirror in the finals.. and no green in the top 8? Kinda surprising, IMO.

---

by dragon1299 on 2008-12-28 01:54 CET

Titanic Bulvox is tech w/ blink lol

---

by Holzi on 2008-12-28 02:32 CET

game of my qf was over after 3 min. he mulled to 6 and went turn 1 harrier, turn 2 double harrier, i answered with ravenous rats and echoing decay

---

by Acid_Christ on 2008-12-28 02:54 CET

"Ya blink should probably go ahead and get banned for the next tournament"

You forgot Trinket Mage.

---

by dv8r on 2008-12-28 03:34 CET

so, nobody decent decided to play a red aggro deck then?

---

by KeySam on 2008-12-28 05:29 CET

yea i knew blink was good i knew what deck is good i didnt played it because i am in for the power, and i had to drop. But! mtg.de ftw. + drunk people are more fun.

KeySam

---

by coolcreep on 2008-12-28 05:54 CET

@Holzi: You forgot to mention that i didnt draw another land for the rest of the game :)

@ dv8r: Blink + Riftwatcher and Mage + Sunbeam makes MRA pretty bad.

---

by mrwegle on 2008-12-28 07:14 CET

GJ top 8. I realy thought that format is much funner than it is from 6 rounds that i played 5 of them was blink.
I build very good deck, GW tokens finished with it 4-2 and my friend was 4-1 (was 0-1 in match and his comp crashed mws)
p.s.myos master pls :)

---

by Canabiest on 2008-12-28 08:45 CET

I kinda threw my deck together minutes before the tournament without really having played the format before, so I did not make an informed metagame decission.
I always liked Martyrs and was expecting some red burn and storm, so in it was. It did not disappoint me.
I'm not sure if I would play Raven's Crime again, it never really helped in the games I had it, but I did not play vs. control or storm.
The Terrors in the Sideboard would be switched for Echoing Decay if i build a new Version, forgot about that card.
Grim Harvest never did anything and was more of an filler 15th card for sb.

I won vs.:
RG Aggro
Affinity
Five Color Ramp
Blink
Blink

I lost vs.:
Blink and another Blink

by Tink903 on 2008-12-28 11:52 CET

what a great top 8...hope your picking up the sarcasm....this format wasnt the best master idea

---

by Diablo49 on 2008-12-28 12:23 CET

hi

ronnan don't have luck in last game, because he do mull at 4, i think and i tap your lands in upkeep with early frost

in my turn i do combo

re-organize deck lists

cya

by SchwipSchwap on 2008-12-28 15:19 CET

Yay #mtg.de!

---

by Shindeiru on 2008-12-28 15:39 CET

Congratz to Diablo but this format sucks ;).

---

by Holzi on 2008-12-28 15:58 CET

pauper is the nuts

---

by Ashmatan on 2008-12-28 16:26 CET

I played storm too, and the only matches I lost were the matches I didn't see Empty the Warrens. Prob the same for the other players that played storm and didn't top 8. Unfortunately the deck is 100% reliant that you see that card before you get wrecked by discard.dec. I just love playing combo though...

---

by [ms] on 2008-12-28 18:06 CET

sigh i wanted to play the freed combo deck sigh

---

by FlyingFreak on 2008-12-28 19:45 CET

nj mtg.de ;)

I also would like another format for next masters ... maybe we can try a sealed masters with top 8 draft ... ? But then we should try to fix our draftsystem first ...

---

by FreshVeggies on 2008-12-28 19:46 CET

I was working on the same storm idea, I just never could get empty the warrens to hit constantly. I was also playing grapeshot, which was a terrible idea...

Glad to see you stomp all the blinks with the UR tech. GJ!

---

by GUnit on 2008-12-28 22:45 CET

Hooray for irrelevant formats.

---

by Eldariel on 2008-12-28 22:59 CET

But hey, there's a single deck without Islands in the Top 8. Healthy format!

---

by RiQuSP on 2008-12-28 23:19 CET

Why has this tournament taken place anyway :(

---

by Boogaloo on 2008-12-28 23:25 CET

That was nice, was 3-1 vs blink during this master. It was fun and rewarding to play in a format where people actually built their own decks.

---

by Lynolf on 2008-12-28 23:28 CET

GO GO GO DIABLO!!!

PORTUGAL > ALL

by Eldariel on 2008-12-28 21:59 GMT

"But hey, there's a single deck without Islands in the Top 8. Healthy format!"

Another proof on how this format sucks. :/

---

by FreshVeggies on 2008-12-29 03:50 CET

I vote for a Random Format Master with a 1 hour deck building time....that would be really cool.

@Boogaloo: I totally agree. I know a lot of people talk shit about net-decking, but very few ever note how it makes the game stale. Magic-League needs to continue experimenting with the Other formats because Magic is more than just tier 1 cards.

---

by Holzi on 2008-12-29 17:01 CET

ill vote for more random format masters, then people will take time to learn the format..

when there are theese random format minis by these strange judges (that are rlly into such shit as rainbow "anything") noone wants to join^^

if a master is announced, you have enough time to build your own deck

what about ext highlander or sth, everybody knows the ext cards and can use his own ideas^^

---

by coolcreep on 2008-12-29 23:33 CET

How about sealed with top8 draft

---

by Holzi on 2008-12-30 00:08 CET

or ala block

---

by TugaChampion on 2009-01-10 17:05 CET

or Ext seeing it's Ext PTQ season?
