High card quality + good fixing + lots of removal = easy 7-0.
P1P1
Creation Chant into P1P2
Trail Maker and P1P3
Ijin's Choice pushed me pretty strongly in the direction of creation factions. Fortunately, those colors ended up being incredibly open - I had to cut down from 48 cards or so. I would have liked to pick up a little more fixing, but the sheer number of good cards being passed meant it was hard to cut down on my greed.
Cards that got cut include
Tattoo Dragon, a second
Oni Battledriver, and a third
Disappear. It was... pretty tough to squeeze everything in. Fortunately, playing only 16 power didn't end up being an issue due to all my incidental ramp / smoothing.
Overall, the run went pretty smoothly - play a few early drops, gum up the ground, then ramp into some nonsense and tear my opponent's board apart with removal.
MVP: Hard to pick. I'm going to tentatively say
Hunting Allosaur due to being a solid finisher / 2-for-1 - a respectable body, plus a piece of removal.
Blurhaze Wurm also was pretty good though - I had more than enough fast effects to turn it online consistently.
Highlight: eating every
Platinum Qirin I saw with
Humbug Nest. Is there a more classic predator-prey relationship?
