Philippines had just finished its first of three legs of 2016 World Magic Cup Qualifiers (WMCQ)
The format is standard, and we had 486 attendees on the said event.
Overall I placed 183th with a 4 - 4 - 2 record (win - loss - draw).
The event gave me 100 yearly points, now I am 200 shy on competing on next years WMCQ.
I played Mono Blue Brain in a jar deck, below is the deck list
(link here)
The Narset are last minute changes, which i don't regret as I had ultimate her on the matches where she drop on the board.
Notable matches:
- Drop a Narset, Ultimate her but still lost to an Ulamog (the exile 20 card clause hurts much)
- Mulligan to 5 cards (on the play)... keeps a land, 2 anticipate, 2 nagging thoughts. The next 9 turns is a non land card. Conceded on the 9th turn, check my library, and land is still not coming until the 12th turn.
- Playing against Prison deck, I will win next turn via transformed thing in the ice, but opponent top deck a Send to Sleep (2 off on the deck) for the win with his 12/12 land.
Note for playing the deck
- Aggro is a tough match up, unless you have your engulf the shore.
- Displacement wave is good against token decks.
- Patience is virtue with this deck.
Changes on the deck
- Will add hydrolash on main deck, replacing send to sleep.
- Will replace some Mage Ring Network for another UW land.
- probably will add secure the waste, replacing Narset on the main.
- this combos well with westvale abbey, with counter back up.
- will move Narset on the side, narset is good against control (though the deck is already good at control match ups).
- will add more Thing in the Ice on the side (very against everything)
- remove engulf for control match up.
- add thing for aggro match up.
