2HG (modified) - Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
From 3:00pm to 6:00pm
First of all, I'd like to apologize for the late result post. As many of you may already know, I participated in the TCGPlayer World Wizard Series in Toronto on March 19th. I piloted my Koth Red to 11th place, with a record of 6-1-1. I took the week off of War League activities to rest and review the event.
Anyways, back to results. On Wednesday, 4 people showed up for an event. To avoid a 3-Mirran, 1-Phyrexian round robin tournament, we decided on a best-of-five Two Headed Giant (2 vs 2) Match. For the Mirrans, Tai and Andrew both brought their Red/Black decks to compete. For the Phyrexians, Nolan filled in as backup, playing Mono-Black Infect, while Joe played Black/Green Infect with Glissa!
Game 1 and 2 went to the Phyrexians, with one player on either side each game getting mana screwed. It was decided at that point that it would a best-of-five match to give the Mirrans a chance, as their teamwork sorely needed improvement. In Game 3, the Mirrans' opening turns were explosive, consisting of an explosive Liquimetal Coating + Shatter combo (and a lot of giggling). Multiple shatters saw the destruction of at least 3 lands on the Phyrexian side. Well, at least it worked. Game 3 went to the Mirrans. However, in Game 4, the Phyrexians got serious and finished up the match.
This was the first time we had the Two Headed Giant format in the War League. This also occurred before the rules change regarding 2HG and poison counters. For future reference, life total is shared and fatal poison counter count is 15.
Tai and Andrew: 1 vs Nolan and Joe: 3
Phyrexia Wins!
