When he has six mana up, he plays a Tangle Spider to block one of my 1/1s, but I have Ferocious Charge ready. Before he plays anything of note, I manage to Whispersilk Cloak up my Arcbound Slith. Game One: He doesn’t really do anything for the first five turns or so, but I can’t really capitalize since my beats consist of an Engineer and a Myr. Game One: He plays fliers, along with Cranial Plating to smash through my Thunderstaff. His deck is aggressive with lots of fliers and a bounce spell or two in case I ever live long enough to play big Plats. Somehow, and I’m not even sure how it’s possible, but this guy looks like a Takuya. Morita, who I haven’t wasted any time trying to damage, laughs and scoops up his cards. I untap, play Platinum Angel, and Cloak it up. When I scry, my baby’s waiting right on top for me. He swings in with Razor Golem and Prowler, and I Ferocious Charge the creature blocking the Golem.
The board is fairly cluttered and stable on the ground, but his Skyhunter Prowler threatens to kill me in a few turns. I play Farsight Mask and a few guys, while he plays Razor Golem and Wand of the Elements. I’m looting away all sorts of lands and spells: Fangren Hunter, Skyreach Manta, Islands. Morita plays a Skyhunter Prowler and equips it with Vulshok Gauntlets. I play Looters on turns 2 and 3 and start sifting through my deck like mad. My objective was simply to stay alive until I could cast Angel. I have three Looters and a Platinum Angel. Game Three: Morita’s deck is a solid, standard Red/White creature deck with no artifact removal. At that point, I was almost positive that he had no way to kill both Whispersilk Cloak and Platinum Angel, and I probably would have bet decent money he couldn’t even kill the unequipped Angel. After a few turns of beats from the Angel, he concedes at around nine life. Morita Stands Firm on a random guy and scrys two cards to the bottom. Thanks to some mana creatures and Farsight Mask, I’m able to get out a Platinum Angel and Cloak it up in fairly short order. Game Two: Morita’s draw is a little slower than the previous game’s, but it features a Wand of the Elements. I think I have a chance to stabilize and mount a counteroffensive at around six life, but he drops a Cosmic Larva and moves the Cloak to that. His Razor Golem with Whispersilk Cloak takes me down two a turn. Game One: His Vulshok Sorcerer takes out my utility 1/1s, and Thunderstaff only serves to slow him down a little.
I also wish I could have Grafted up the Joiner for a nice turn 5 Sundering Titan. Grafted Wargear was the perfect card to plop down on one of my two-mana 1/1s after it had outlived its usefulness… not that I ever got to do that, but it would have been nice. The mana situation made the deck prone to flood, but the triple Looters could help assuage that problem. With sixteen lands and four mana-producing creatures, the deck would hopefully be able to power out a large monster on turn 4 or 5 and ride that to victory.
Nonetheless, you have to admire the deck’s spunk. The deck’s only real problems were fliers or decks that could bounce or kill Platinum Angel. I felt that something had gone awry, but I had a little more faith in the deck than Gerry. Thompson’s dismay when I returned from my draft pod with this: With Gerry’s and my collective hopes riding on my next draft (as well as my performance in Block Constructed), you can imagine Mr.
