Unlocking the Vault #54: Looking back on the Invitational
Posted on December 31, 2013 by enderfall
Hey Scott,
I sadly didn’t get TNN out during the Invitational as much as I would have liked.
I think he hit the board a total of 2 games in total during the entire tournament.
Having said that he was very good when he hit the table. I don’t remember the situations exactly, but I know he was powerful when on board. TNN with equipment is pretty silly (also loves exalted).
I am still testing with him, but my initial impression is I like TNN a lot.
Some of the merfolk pilots may have omitted TNN simply for financial reasons, possibly. Nice article BTW, I wish I had some of the $$$ cards online, the format looks fun.
RE: Thoughtseize,Duress,Abrupt Decay
anymore non blue cards in oath and FOW becomes an issue =)
Engineered was my gameplan against cage.
@Montolio??: I imagine you will be pushing TNN further then?
@Matt: I hope you consider jumping into the format, even with some of the cheaper decks, like the White Weenie Sky Hussar deck. It’s extremely cheap, save for the Wastelands. Here is a link to the decklist that thewoof2 used: http://gatherling.com/deck.php?mode=view&id=17665
@Blue: I agree, watering down the deck with non-blue cards makes casting FoW less consistent. However, EE is also not a blue card. Maybe more Hurkyl’s Recall (or other bounce effects like Echoing Truth or Chain of Vapor) would be the answer to Cage?
The link to the archived videos says “no videos found.”
@GainsBanding: Damn, looks like they wiped the archive already. Woonder if I have to pay for premium services to keep them longer? Maybe next time I just record them normally instead. Sorry!
