Modo PTQ

[Gary Lynch]

Was awake so decided to join the PTQ at 4am my time (prob not the best idea).

Didnt open any amazing bombs, no mythics :(

Lucky my 2 best colours were G/W, so hoping to beat face before they can draw and play bombs.

My deck:

2 Avacyn's Pilgrim
1 Chapel Geist
2 Darkthicket Wolf
1 Elder Cathar
1 Fiend Hunter
1 Gallows Warden
1 Gatstaf Shepherd
1 Geistcatcher's Rig
1 Grizzled Outcasts
1 Kessig Cagebreakers
1 Mentor of the Meek
1 Orchard Spirit
1 Thraben Sentry
1 Voiceless Spirit
1 Prey Upon
1 Sharpened Pitchfork
1 Butcher's Cleaver
1 Midnight Haunting
1 Moment of Heroism
1 Travel Preparations
9 Plains
8 Forest

LOL, my luck hasnt changed. First round play a similar deck except he has Mayor of Avabrook, Geist Honored Monk and Eldar of Laurels.

Games 1 and 2 are close, game 3 I mull to 5 and cant ever get back in the game :(

[Gary Lynch]

Pulled it back to 2-1, only 6 more rounds, lol

[Gary Lynch]

BAH! 2-2, mulliganed 9 times in 4 rounds :(

Looks pretty good to me ... You didn't open too bad - cagebreakers, mentor and cleaver!

happy x'mas Gary! not a bad pool but I personally dont like plaing G/W, boring.  did you manage to use the mentor much? he could be incredibly silly.  you have bombs but the lack of removal is bad news.  good luck, if you are still playing.

These online PTQs are such a grind.. I was 5-0 in a 10 round tournament, went 5-2 and all of a sudden I was completely out of contention after having invested 8 hours!

[Gary Lynch]

Lack of removal was unfortunate. When I didnt have to mulligan the deck worked really well. Its actually hard for a lot of decks to beat the nut draw of turn 2 and 3 guy, turn 4 travel preparations then flashback.

G/W is boring but each other colur had only like 2 good cards in.

Online PTQ's are a bit mental but as we only get 1 PTQ per season its gonna be my only real choice now. There is no point me getting a deck for the 1 Modern PTQ, waste of money.

Hope everyone had a good xmas. Things are good here, we bought a house and now have 2 dogs.
