Cursecatcher only counters instants or sorceries. He can't counter your Baloth, only hope to lock you out with Tidal Warrior.

Liq had a deck with Lightning Bolt, which was banned Round 34.

Guess people are finding their way around this dreaded deck. To be honest, I only copied and pasted it to get rid of it, because it annoyed the heck out of me.

pretty sure your match against wayne is wrong. he swings for 5, not 4, due to exalted x 3.

edit:
same thing with BoT. He can cast Journey on your elephant by not playing Savannah until you have the elephant out.

I will review and rescore later tonight if need be. Thanks.

Edit -

If he doesn't play his Savannah my play, I keep turning Llanowar into an Island ftw and attacking for one until he does. On his play he plays Llanowar and I play Tidal Warrior, he plays Skyshroud on T2, I Play Cursecatcher, T3 He swings for 3 me 17, My T3 I play Rogue Elephant making his guy 2/2. It is a draw, my fault on that one...unless there is a better play somewhere. WD? 4

4. wayne - WL 3

Forest
Noble Hierarch
Noble Hierarch
Qasali Pridemage

Play
Tidal, Hierarch
Curse, (turn forest into island) Hierarch
Rogue Swing 2, Qasali
Rogue Swing 3 (15), Qasali Swing 5 (15)
Rogue + 2 little guys (10), I still win...I think.

I'm marking as i go first then second.

On his play, he plays turn 1 city, jinxed idol. Turn 2, he floats 2 from city, play his forest, and casts awakening zone.

You're right that my analysis is not correct, but I think it's still WW for me:

Turn 1 Idol. I play Bog. He goes to 18 and plays Awakening Zone. I play Creeper. He goes to 16, makes a token, and trades Idol. I go to 18 and attack him to 13 and play Fiend. From here he gets a chump blocker and blocks Creeper, letting Fiend through. The score changes on my turn: 16-12, 14-11, 12-10, 10-9, 8-8, 6-7. On the turn my life goes to 4, I attack him down to 6 and sacrifice Fiend to trade Idol. On his upkeep, he gets a token, takes 2 damage (going to 4), and trades Idol back to me. This leaves him without a chump-blocker for Creeper, so I go to 2 and attack him to 1 and trade the Idol back to him. He can trade it in his upkeep, but the trigger is still on the stack and he loses.

Thoughts?

Congrats! The meta is shifting so quickly that it's hard to keep up with :-P My last few decks would have crushed the previous weeks but don't do anything in the week I play them. For example, I go WW against the Mind Swords deck but only 1 person played it this week. And I also go WW against any Progenitus decks :-P So much for metagaming correctly!

This is how I see it:
Turn 1
Him: City, Idol
You: Bog

Turn 2
Him: 18, Awakening Zone
You: Creeper

Turn 3
Him: 16, 1 Token.
You: You cast Fiend, attack for 3. He chump with token, then sac it to idol.

Turn 4
Him: 1 Token.
You: 18, attack with both creatures. Creeper blocked, he takes 1 from Fiend, down to 15.

Turn 5
Him: 1 Token.
you: 16, attack with both creatures. Creeper blocked, he takes 1 from Fiend, down to 14.

If this trend continues, I dont think you can win.

I thought you can't sac a creature that's on it's way to the graveyard? It used to be that way, but things might have changed..

Thanks,

Jaz, you still can sac a creature after it blocks, it just will not be able to deal combat damage to the creature it blocked.
