2-1 8-man local event today with Yasooka list.
Round 1 2-0 MonoU Devotion. Game 1 he kept a loose hand and had no real action before I killed him.
Boarding: -4 Boros Charm -3 Skullcrack +3 Prophetic Flamespeaker +2 Banishing Light +2 Chandra, Pyromaster
Game 2 he played 2 Cloudfin Raptors, Thassa, Master of Waves, Tidebinder Mage, Master of Waves, Frostburn Weird. I Chained his 2 Masters, his Thassa and his Tidebinder. Flamespeaker was nuts (drew 4 cards in two combat steps) and he had to tap it down with Tidebinder. The 1x Mortars wiped his board once, I let him get to 5 Devo to Chain the Thassa, and he had to use Thassa to get rid of Chandra. Overall the post-sideboard game went very, very well and according to plan.
Round 2: 1-2 vs UW Control
Game 1 went as normal for this type of matchup.
Boarding: -4 Chained to the Rocks -4 Shock -1 Mizzium Mortars +3 Prophetic Flamespeaker +2 Banishing Light +2 Chandra +2 Wear//
Tear
Game 2 his Jace stonewalled my Flamespeaker, and I never drew a Skullcrack to counter his 3 Sphinx's Revelations. He had all of the answers and I had no real pressure.
Game 3 he went T2 Nyx-Fleece Ram T3 Nyx-Fleece Ram T4 Blind Obedience and Extorted himself back up to 20 life. I went Flamespeaker, used it + Helix to kill his first Ram, he Sphered it, I played a few more creatures that all got exiled, drew ten lands in a row and lost.
Overall, I liked Eidolon much more vs control than Flamespeaker, but we kind of have to board this way? That or we keep in Shocks...
Round 3 2-0 Jund Monsters
Game 1 he killed himself with an untapped Blood Crypt at 2 life on turn 7 when I was about to kill him. I love having 4 Chains maindeck and a Mortars.
Boarding: -2 Boros Charm -2 Skullcrack -4 Shock (I don't think he ran Mystics) +4 Boros Reckoner +2 Reprisal +2 Banishing Light
Game 2 was a long contest that I won because I drew 3(!!) Mutavaults and was able to put enough pressure to race him despite him
having 2 Demons, a Vraska(that killed a Chain) and 2 Mistcutter Hydras.
Mistcutter Hydra has been causing me trouble as of late.
