Volevo fare un breve report, ma siccome sono ancora mezzo morto, posto quello che ho scritto su thesource, sperando poi di fare un report come si deve coi controfiocchi per celebrare l'evento e ricordare le millemila gag della best trasferta ever!
Finally home!
Man, GP Ghent was awesome, from every point of view (except for the rainy weather maybe...). I'll make a brief report of my first GP, playing (of course) the deck I've been playing for the last 4 years, my beloved canadian threshold!
On friday I took my chances with a gpt, going 5-0 and being awarded 3byes-rounds for the day to come.
(you can also find my decklist on the mothership, it's the 2nd from the gpt winner decklists)
http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazin...gpgnt12/day1#12-0 reanimator
2-0 bant/maverick
2-1 ugwr punishing/zenith (same list played by Niklas Kronberger)
2-0 UW miracles countertop
2-0 ANT ubr
On day1 things are getting serious, 1345 players are ready to play the best legacy possible, and I'm quite nervous because of how difficult it will be to make it to day2.
T1-3 byes
T4 0-2 43lands (played by a friend of mine, couldn't just believe how unlucky I was)
T5 2-0 reanimator
T6 2-1 merfolk (being played by Andre Mueller, maybe you've heard of him)
T7 2-0 uw stoneblade
T8 2-1 canadian threshold (won game 3 otp after a mulligan on 5, with him keeping his 7)
T9 2-0 reanimator
So I ended up performing quite well in day1, going 8-1 and losing only an awful MU.
I was quite excited because things were looking good for me, maybe too much...
Day2
T10 1-2 show&tell (game3 he made 4 mana on turn 2, played a daze-proof show, protected by fow for griselbrand....)
T11 0-2 death&taxes (ended up in 12th place, probably no one was expecting that deck on day2)
T12 0-2 maverick (I tried to trick him several times but he just had everything)
T13 2-0 reanimator
T14 2-0 canadian threshold (ended up in 23rd place, in my opinion his line of play and boarding techniques against the mirror were totally wrong)
T15 1-2 against a deck I just can't believe I could lost to (you'll never know what it was )
T16 2-1 omniscience (played by former PT champ Simon Gortzen)
3-4 on day2, for a grand total of 11-5 (minus the first 3 rounds, plus going 5-0 on friday), ending up in 75th place, just out of money unfortunately.
Man, I had so much fun I couldn't stop laughing and smiling, the best weekend ever for sure. Also, 2 of my travelmates made it to the top8 (marcotti and milillo), couldn't really ask more than this.
