This tournamet was at University of Detroit - Mercy Outer Drive Campus - Marian Hall (Rooms 102, 116)
Corner of Southfield Freeway and W. Outer Drive Detroit, Michigan. the cost was 12 dollars and 1st place
won and invite to NY and $200 travel prize.
I just got home from the super-series qualifier, and, i suprisingly ended up winning.
There were 9 people for the UNDER15 bracket, and 11 people for the 16 to 18 bracket.
The deck i was using was:
4 x Ball Lightning
4 x Mogg Fanatic
4 x Fireslinger
3 x Ironclaw Orcs
4 x Fireblast
4 x Incinerate
4 x Kindle
2 x Thunderbolt (Last minute addition, thanx KING and CRUZ)
1 x Hammer (just in case the game lasted long enough)
1 x Earthquake
1 x Fireball
2 x Torch (I killed 4 people with XR spells, and Mike Donais said that they shouldn't be in the deck)
4 x Cursed Scroll
Sideboard:
4 x Scalding Tongs
3 x Boil
4 x Pyroblast
2 x Dwarven Miner
2 x Flashfires
Round one:
I was only wanted to play in the tournament for fun, so i didn't really care what happened
I was paired up against Justin Nelson(he was playing 3CG)
First Game: First turn he laid an Undiscovered P. and i knew right away that he was playing a Multi-coloured deck.
then i drew and laid a land and a Fanatic. I ended up getting 3 Fireslingers out against him before he ended up
getting 2 tradewinds and four other creatures out and took the first game
2nd game: I got the mana curve. 1st turn Fanatic, 2nd turn slinger, 3rd turn Ball lightning, 4th turn Ball,
then fireblast/fireblast.
3rd game:LOOK AT GAME 2
Round two:
this round took me only 5 minutes.
Round three:
Finally a good deck, NECRO
The first gam he beat me down. 2nd game: i used scalding tongs and scrolls to beat him down,
3rd game:See second game round 1
4th round:
My opponent scared me when he put out a first turn EvilEyeofOrmsByGore!!!!
but i eventually gained control and won that game and the next.
Thanx to Jeff Donais for the deck idea, and thanx to Sean Mangin for the cards for the deck.
