[la Clapette (dit roumain 38)]

je comprends rien..y a trop de combo  :shock: :shock:

[nicofromtokyo]

Avec toutes ces combos de mana infini, il reste plus qu'a jouer Hellix Pinnacles dedans  :wub:

Pas mieux...

Torche selon Kaervek ftw  ;)
La t'es oblige d'attendre le next upkeep lol !

goblin cannon c'est mieux  :mrgreen:

j'ai pris le temps de lire plus la liste (enfin toute les cartes que je connaissais pas...)

j'ai un peu peur que le deck ne soit pas super stable. il développe plein de mana mais si t'a pas une des cartes clef du deck  aka baton/time vault/avarice/triskelavus/tinker (10 cartes en tout) le jeu reste un peu mou avec certe des grosses bete mais un blockeur suffit à perdre...

Il faut bien voir que ce jeu ne pack pas beaucoup de distrupt (1 trini) et goldfish tour 2 au mieux.

moi, je dis que ca vaut pas un bon belcher tout ca  ;)

on remarquera moins de carte à combo et plus de pioche. la distrupt étant boosté par les strip like...

Round one Matt Hensley: (BGW Teeg/Bob thingy)
So I am on the play:
I think he mulled to five
I cast turn one metalworker, he goes lotus, bob withered wretch
Turn 2 I play Umbral Mantle, metalworker swings with lethal and the game ends quick
Game 2: Figuring that he'd have a Null Rod, I side in my spheres and sides out I think some key, top, staff etc.
I open up with turn one trinisphere, then wastes his land, casts Jar and Karn, attack with Jar and Karn etc.
He had a turn 2 null rod that kept out of bay

1 - 0 (2-0)

Round 2 Against Mike (Mana'd Ichorid)

G1: He mulls to oblivion

G2: I sided out 2 crucible, 1 key, 1 mantle, 1 top, 1 trinisphere?  in 4 thorns, 2 masticore
He keeps a 7 card hand, starts with zaar
I wastes, he starts dredging
Therapies my metalworker
I casts staff of domination, he puts light pressure on me as he does not find nacromoebas and just beats with 2 ichorid. I dig with Top to find metalworker and hand 3 artifacts.

Since I have no real solution to beat ichorid, I just build my combo and ignored his other side

2-0 (4-0)

Noah Mono Blue

G1: I open up with a decent hand, 2x workers. I cast turn 1 worker with tomb + mox, he impulses and the worker gets forced. He casts tinker DSC on turn 2/3 can't rmb, think it was turn 2. I play my other worker and resolves, I have a 1 turn clock before I die, my hand was: Trike, Triskelavus, Street Wratih, Voltaic Key and Rings of the Brighthearth. I reveal for all my artifacts, plays Rings, then key gets negated. So at this point I didn't have my infinite mana combo. I just cycle the wraith to get 2 cards, (Time Vault and Umbral Mantle)
I asked the Judge earlier and he said that time vault uses the original wording instead of the errata today, so I just throw the vault and asks if he wants to concede. Then the argument comes up, and then it was rules as the current oracle text. Then I just play Umbral Mantle and swing ftw.
G2: He gets 2 flux and 1 Back to Basics, I scoop. First lost of the day
G3: I open with metalworker, sphere. I play Triskelavus and Karn, while he's slowed, he managed to drain my trinisphere and puts out a flux, which came too late for him. I reveal with my metalworker on upkeep to have the mana I need to keep the karn and sphere alive to secure the game.

3-0 (6-1)

Round 4 Kevin with Dragon/Oath

G1: I open with a decent hand that I can combo off turn 2, I play shop monolith + voltaic key. then I play rings, which gets countered. He pulls dragon + bazaar shortly.
G2: I sided in 8 sphere, 4 juggs, 1 duplicant and sided out most my combo. I lock him hard with 1 spheres, 2 thorns and a trinisphere, I have 2 workers, time vault in play, for 7 turns I drew nothing except a staff on the last turn. He broke the lock and got the dragon. He bounced my time vault, just in case that I pull something random with it, I chain myself and bounces a mox and I get infinite mana and draw from staff/worker. Fails to find a solution

3-1 (6-3)

Jason Pilarsky Mono Red Aggro:

G1: I mulled and I play rings followed by triskelavus. I topdeck time vault. It was getting close as I had 2 tombs and a crypt for my mana source. Given that I don't get dmg from crypt all 4 turns, I win the game, which I did.
G2: I sided out most my combo pieces, as I know that he would have null rod SB. 
I sided in 4 spheres, 2 Masticores, 4 Juggernauts
He mulls He casts null rod, couldn't do much.
G3: He said, I have 2 null rods, wasn't sure if he was bluffing. Instead of going T1 worker I played top trinisphere. in fact he did have 2 null rods and his gathan raiders and factory and friends beat ftw.

After some deep thought, his threat wasn't really the welder, it was the null rod.
I should have sided in the thorns to keep rod out of the bay

3-2 (7-5)

Round 6 Chris with Painter.dec

G1: T1 Metalworker T2 Staff He thirsts and ancestral and could not find a solution.
G2: He plays a land and ruby, I Metalworker and he countered. he mystical for a tinker for on T2. He Tinker DSC, I play Rings, Street Wraith for 2 cards, fails to find combo (Lotus and land). He attacks, puts me to do or die. I get Staff!!!! I tap his DSC with tomb for 2 turns, puts me to 3 life. I have Juggernaut and Karn in hand, I felt that I shouldn't play them as they don't help stall the colossus. I find metalworker, cracks the lotus to stop him from attacking. With 2 Artifact, Rings + Worker Staff, I win the game. His force becomes online this turn, but I draw out my entire library, plays trike (FoW'ed) then multiple rings of brighthearth and trinisphere and shoots for like 50 with triskelavus

4-2 (9 - 5)

Being the highest tiebreaker, as pilarsky went 5-1 in swiss, I slipped in top 8

Top 8: Pilarsky again!

G1: T1 Worker T2 Staff
Then we thought it is best that I concede as he got better matchups against countertop and landstill, so I did, we played for fun anyways.
G2: He said that he'd mull into a null rod if this game was serious. But he didn't and starts off with Razormane. I get monolith turn one, then rings turn two, turn 3 I cast Staff of Domination and Sensei Top to get the win.

(11 - 5)

I think this deck is really fun and I built it so that every piece was a combo. I didn't rely 100% metalworker or the rings, it works in many many ways. In this tournament, in 7 rounds, 4 out of my 5 win matches I went 2-0, and the games weren't long at all too.  I think this deck can be developed more and be improved.

Props:
John for hosting a great tournament
People from States coming up

I liked how the deck beat out Tinker colossus twice in the swiss (both turn 2 casted). Tinker DSC gives me a 2 turn clock, which can happen a lot to find solution.   No SB for Ichorid and managed to raced it. I felt that the masticores were pretty useless throughout the entire day.  They were counter-interactive with welders when you discard an artifact.  Once I get infinite mana, I didn't need masticore to wipe the field, the deck just wins, most likely.

Even thought most games I attempted a transformation, I never casted a single juggernaut.
I figured that most people would have hate such as extirpate hitting staff or rings and over worrying the explosiveness of this combo.

Things I expected for this deck to do which didn't happen:
Crucible lock: well, a chance thing, really
Rings + Wastes to kill 2 lands.  It usually happens in late game, but all games lasted like 6 turns max, cept for 1 game
Win through Voltaic Key: There are 2 combos in the deck that uses key to win, never got out
Abuse Key & Top (+ Rings) to get a crapload of digging.

Street Wraiths were awesome in the deck, period.

[Sir Katana]

Win through Voltaic Key: There are 2 combos in the deck that uses key to win, never got out

Ok pour vault, mais je ne vois pas à quoi correspond la 2ème combo qui le fait gagner avec voltaic  :roll:

[astre]

ca doit être avec sensei pou piocher tout son deck avec mana infini

[Sir Katana]

EUh si t'as mana infini c'est soit par worker + staff et auquel cas tru pioches déjà tout ton deck, sinon c'est par basalt + rings et auquel cas si tu veux piocher avec top tu as déjà rings + top + mana infini pour le faire, donc pas besoin de voltaic en +. A moins que top soit contré...
Après reste worker + mantle pour le mana infini, + top + voltaic, mais je doute qu'il parle de ça sachant qu'il ne joue qu'un mantle...
Donc pas convaincu

[PeaceMaKeR]

G2: I sided out 2 crucible, 1 key, 1 mantle, 1 top, 1 trinisphere?

G1: T1 Metalworker T2 Staff He thirsts and ancestral and could not find a solution.

le mec il est énorme quand même ...
