3RD IN STATE!

[Kaleo42]

My favorite problem solving story is the Chapin high tide story. The deck is meant to massive ramp into forcing them to draw their library. The opponent was playing {survival of the fittest} kinda same concept as the old {birthing pod} decks. The opponent took his {high tide} with {lobotomy} and the combo was gone. No real wincon the match was over an survival won the major event, but Chapin carried on a pleasant conversation saying things like "we're gunna play this out", "im gunna make you kill me". The next turns kept going in the same manor. What his opponent didnt know is that Patrick Chapin had not given up. He thought about what he had to do to win and came up with an idea. He drew a many cards as he could to play as many islands as possible. His opponent was showing lethal but grabbed one more creature card out of the deck. Patrick lunged at the opportunity having calculated he was one card away from being able to force the drawing mill and that last creature cards openned the window. Chapin won and shocked everyone.

I had three game like this yesterday. I won these with the extorts off the singleton {blind obediance} while i couldnt fully answer what I was facing. I looked at my lack of relevant answers and te low likelyhood of drawing the relevant ones and just used the less relevant to stem the bleeding while I extorted every spell I cast making their first an third turn shocks from lands their death sentence.

Amazing story  +1. This is what I do when I am about to lose.. I use every spell like it is the last I have , I always need to remember to do the most Logical thing possible!

As of about 30min ago I got to 3rd in state piloting Esper control. Videos of the first round in top 8 will be posted tonight, but the second round the battery died and I lost to weak draws against godly aggro draws.

This is for Idaho btw.

NVM, Great Job!

Shapies, a blank mat, and a lot of patience. Dillon was a big help on this one too. His input helped make the final design look very high quality.
