wildfire1 2-0 AgentSythe

That submerge! I was tapped out, no counter backup. AgentSythe absolutely correctly decided to go all in and got destroyed by Submerge.

But yeah, I'll be on mtgoon all weekend long after ~6PM EST today?

So I'll be around tomorrow night (Sunday night/Monday morning) after my modern match. I'm working 4-12 EST Sunday so we're (hopefully) doing the whole Father's Day thing on Monday, but I'm relatively open Tuesday. I think the week is somewhat open for me after that, too.

Presently on mtgoon, though if we can't make it today, I can fit in some time on Wednesday or Friday of this week.

So I'm around tonight for a while and Tuesday-Thursday until around 10 PM EST.

Confirmed, I'm out!

Had a judgment call to make in game 3; on a mull to 5, I had a hand with Brainstorm, Ponder, StP, Volcanic Island, and something I can't remember.

Opponent: Plains, Mother of Runes
Me: Drew a Tundra

The options are to either Tundra -> Swords the Mom, or Volcanic -> Ponder. What I actually did was pick the first one, then second-guess myself and try to transition into the second one, and went Tundra -> Ponder, which was the worst option of all! I proceeded to get blown out by Wasteland as I was expecting, and a hand of 2x Moms, 2x Thalias, 1x Revoker is pretty much the worst case scenario for me.

The thing about that is by not swords'ing right there you basically agreed to throw away at least one swords later for no value if you never got to terminus, which would obviously be my top priority to stop you from doing. I think it threw off your entire game plan from the start.

0/2. Game 1 I mull to 5 before finding a colored land and lose to infinite creatures. Game 2 I mull to 6 and draw 0 of my like, 30 outs for 7 turns.

For the record, in the second game, I was holding onto a Vines of Vastwood still along with a pair of Dazes. No idea how big of a difference that would have made based on your hand though.

Yeah I noticed that earlier but because you quoted it I didn't bother fixing it! I'm game to play, but times are tricky. I'm playing another match on your Sunday morning, but timing is tight. Otherwise, your Tuesday evening should work for me.

Tuesdays really bad. I'm home right now and will have the whole weekend available pretty much with enough advance warning.

Sorry for the late response - been a hectic weekend.

Evenings this week for me are pretty bad. If we can find a time before 9am Cali time that would work - that would put it in your evening I think?

It will suck to get up that early but I think it's better than waiting until next weekend.

I think 6.30 your Wednesday is my Wednesday night, so that works. I can't easily double check since I'm phone posting but will have a look when I'm home.

I am in Scotland now until the end of july. If there is a way to play mtg on a chromebook, feel free to let me know and I might have a minute at some point. Play by mail? Who knows.
