Regionals were fun, although disappointing from a win/loss standpoint. My overall record was 1-4. Yes, that’s one win and four losses. I had a decent deck built, but it just wasn’t enough. I faced 5 different decks, including a near mirror of my own, and each of them had their unique challenges. It was both unlucky draws and a couple of mistakes on my part. The only deck I won against was a Burning Bridges deck, with a lucky top-deck of Naturalize to remove his Ensaring Bridge. That was just before an ugly Haunting Echoes raped my deck of anything good. I finally beat him with a Roar of the Wurm, once Naturalize kicked in. About half the time, I acutally made a decent effort, but my opponent just had too much resistance.

After the tournament, Dan, Mike, and I ate at Spaghetti Warehouse, less than a block from the tournament and had a good time. After the drive home, longer because of the rain, we stopped at Mike’s house and spent the rest of the evening watching Star Trek: The Next Generation.
