LA Conflux-Dential: Prerelease Round 2
bdm | February 1, 2009 | 3:36 amRound 2: Joe Garcia
“Its Murphy’s Law of tournaments,” laughed Joe Garcia as we sat down to play. Joe and I had been talking between rounds and he relayed a win that included Wooly Thoctar, Banefire, and Titanic Ultimatum. “If you talk to someone about a deck you will play them a round later.”
In game one we traded blow back and forth with Wild Leotaus on each side. Court Archers game him an edge in the race and by the time I tried to slow things down he was able to finish me off with Banefire.
The second game underscored the abilty of Wall of Reverance to change a game. I was gaining between 5 and 7 life a turn buy neither Joe or I were getting much damage through. Joe had O-Ringed my Behemoth so the Meglonoth was mortal, which meant neither of us was really attacking. I was well over 50 life and waiting on Naya Charm which showed up at some point to lock up the game.
Game three saw a turn four Meglonoth followed up by Rhox Charger. The game notation consists of maybe four pen strokes.
2-0 on the day so far against Banefire.




F those bombs!
I’ve been messing around with Wall of Reverence in Block and it is absolutely insane. Way better than it initially seems. Block their biggest threat and provides insurmountable life-gain if left unchecked. Having 2 of em out? Disgusting.
