CardShark Content - Michael Potter (6/30/2003)

A quick note on who I selected for match coverage. In general, I tried to pick players who I didn’t recognize from the A list that Sideboard usually picks for features. Round 1 I cheated a little because Seth Burns has been writing articles for a long time and Adam Horvath’s name has shown up in a few tournament reports, but I knew Seth and felt more comfortable starting with a player I already knew.

I’ve also written up a few rounds of the coverage from today. I have a greater respect for the Sideboard staff. My typing skills are not great and I rely on handwriting and then typing later. The Sideboard reporters type on the fly and get the coverage posted very, very quickly.

Round 1

Seth Burn from NYC - playing GR
Adam Horvath from Hillsboro, NJ and a member of Team Togit - playing Wake

I’ve been exchanging emails with Seth Burns for a while (we both work as accountants for a living). I was able to confirm that my boring, accountant personality was in full force when we had lunch together a few months ago because he recognized me but couldn’t find my name after searching in his memory for a while.

Seth and Adam chatted a little before the match. They don’t live too far from each other and knew each other before playing at Nationals. Seth said he was going to play MBC until he saw how many Zombie decks there were out there and switched decks without play testing his new deck much.

Seth accidentally reveled a basking Rootwalla

while pile shuffling. He complained that his sleeves were a little slick but admitted that it was his fault if they were. He also said he was planning on going back to grad school and was just waiting to hear back from them to see if he was accepted.

Adam was much quieter during the initial shuffling.

Seth won the die roll and chose to play after joking he was going to draw.

Both players kept their opening hands.

Seth opened with a Forest

and a Rootwalla

Seth drew a card and then looked at his hand for a while. He decided to attack with both Rootwalla

back to Seth’s hand and the Guide Fizzled. Seth attacked for 1 with the remaining Rootwalla

and passed the turn as he was tapped out again.

Next turn, Adam changed his pattern and played a Brushland

. He used Moments Peace again the next turn and Seth added to his ground army by casting a Wild Mongrel

. Adam responded by hard casting Exalted Angel

.

This changed the board position dramatically, but Seth had been holding back cards in his hand. Adam took to the offensive and swung the life totals 8 points after tapping the Angel to attack. However, he had still not drawn Compulsion

	Set: Torment Cost: 2 Color: Blue Type: Enchantment Rarity: U Number: 34 Text: 1U, Discard a card from your hand: Draw a card. 1U, Sacrifice Compulsion: Draw a card.

to filter out the unneeded cards.

Seth kept the pressure up on via Volcanic Hammer

at Adam and attacking with his creatures. Adam played a Mirari

’s Wake which made his Angel bigger but he only had land remaining in his hand. Seth was able to resolve a Morph and then unmorph a Blistering Firecat

Morph RR (You may play this face down as a 2/2 creature for 3. Turn it face. up any time for its morph cost.)

. This took Adam to 3 but Seth had tapped out. A swing from the Angel brought his life back to 8, but Seth was able to attack and then use Violent eruption via Madness to win game 1.

Both players sideboarded and joked a little about what cards they could bring in. Both swapped in about 6 cards.

Game 2 was poor for Seth. He got off to a fairly slow start without much pressure - only Elves and a Rootwalla

in play. He wore down Adam’s life total, but Adam had again played Krosan Verge

shut down Seth’s attack and Seth conceded when Adam was able to hard cast a second Angel.

Seth tried to use Threaten

on the Angel, but the damage was canceled out via a Moment’s Peace.

Game 3 was very similar to Game 2. Seth was able to get a better start, but Adam started off with Krosan Verge

Krosan Verge

as his first two land drops. He weathered the early storm and then the game slowly slipped out of reach for Seth with every card Adam drew. Again a combination of Wrath of God

to filter through his cards meant that Adam always seemed to have the solution to the question Seth was asking him. Seth didn’t draw a Flaring Pain

in game 2 or 3 and might have been able to win one if he had. Again, Adam hard cast 2 Angels and Seth scooped it up.

Games 1 and 2 were fairly long (as Wake game usually are) and both players were good sports and sped up their play in order to try as hard as possible to make sure there was a winner.

Both players shared their sideboarding strategy with me. Seth brought in Threaten
