Nighthawk wins 3-0!

Game one my draw lined up really well vs his, with his aethersphere harvister being killed by my rec sage and i got some insane luck when my first grapple flipped over a kozilek return, meaning i had the fuse ready whenever i wanted to with a deep fiend in hand. Eventually i pulled the trigger and a misclick with blossoming defence meant instead of saving a creature his board got sweeped any way and i was then able to tempo him out with a second deep fiend.


Game 2 was another grinder where a turn 3 nissa could've been problamatic for me to deal with, however a topdecked baby chandra allowed me to kill it (and was then immediately killed by a fleetwheel cruiser) then i drew an Ulamog so knew what my gameplan was, i just made the board as cluttered and awkward as possible for him and then stalled the game out till i could cast him and that was that.
Again my first grapple flipped over koz return so i had a safety blanked i could use at any time, this meant roma couldn't really put the pressure on without risking it all.

Game 3 was by far the best and it started with... A mulligan to 5 from roma. I was expecting an easy game after that but his draw was kind to him and he ended up going OFF with snek + gearhulk making a 4/5 snake/ 6/6 hulk and a 8/5 fleetwheel for reference that's pretty hard to beat!
I ended up stalling over and over with chump blockers and pulses just to stay alive (must've gained well over 30 life this game) and eventually i drew a scuttler to flashback a expertise to take the pressure off at least - it was not over there however as he kept throwing it all at me while i was making horrific misplay after horrific misplay meaning instead of closing the game out i ended up at parity and eventually behind again. Luckily my draw was kind and i eventually managed to put enough pressure on that i few blank draws from him meant he couldn't recover - i cannot stress how badly i played this, definitely my worst game in the tournament after the halfway point into the game.


GG's Roma and congrats on second place finish, he's a really nice guy as i found out after our post match chat

Also thanks Kryder for hosting another great tournament, and for making that post after round 1 saying "nighthawk try and get some wins first" which motivated me to become a winning machine alongside the allure of the Reddit tag

It was your signature that did the trick. Congrats nighthawk, long live the 61 card deck!

He should write something like future queen of England
Congratz to both the finalists, my prediction was wrong and the curse is now broken. No more 3-2 record for me, probably worse.

Giocher i broke a bunch of curses this season, i'd never had a winning streak longer then one game and yet now i'm at 8 in a row in tournaments haha

Haven I swear i felt your presence about halfway through game 3, i was playing great and then suddenly i just started making awful plays, i felt your curse start working haha

Congrats on the win, NH!

Thanks guys, although i put all of it down 100% too the signature, 8-0 in tourney matches with it haha
