Take a walk with me, if you will, to the promised land. Let’s drop in on the top four tables and see who’s playing what.
Table 1: David Brucker vs. Ryan Hartman
There can be only one. This match featured the last two undefeated players in $10K Indianapolis. This round showcases a GLEE mirror match. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as mirror as originally advertised. Ryan missed his first two turns, while David rocketed into a near perfect draw. Ryan did manage to get Dr. Light, Master of Holograms, and it allowed him to inch his way back into the game. Ultimately, though, the board advantage Brucker had built up was too much. He ended up winning the game and is now the only remaining undefeated player.
Table 2: Micky Ashford vs. Irving Diaz
This match pitted Mickey with Team Superman against Irving, who is playing GLEE. Mickey had an absolutely ideal draw, including the Phantom Zone to deal with Irving’s Dr. Light, Master of Holograms. During the course of the match, Irving spent at least two turns with unused resource points. Sadly, Mickey continued to just dominate this game and eventually ended up winning.
Table 3: David Santos vs. Richard Wood
David was playing GLAM against Richard’s GLEE deck. The match started almost perfectly for both players. Richard had a midgame stumble and ended up a little behind. Turn 4 saw him under drop a single Shadow Creatures, and the fifth turn wasn’t much better. David, on the other hand, had a Dr. Light, Master of Holograms —what else do I need to say? Luckily, Richard managed to stall out long enough to hit a Two-Face, Split Personality, but David had Krona and held on to win the game.
Table 4: Dan McLaren vs. Narayen Cook
Dan was playing Soldiers and Robots against Narayen, who was playing GLEE. Dan got a pretty standard draw, including a Phantom Zone, which is phenomenal against his opponent’s Dr. Light, Master of Holograms. Narayen started to overcome this deficit on turn 4 by playing Major Disaster, Roy Harper ◊ Speedy, and Arisia. Eventually, Narayen got a boosted Guy Gardner, Strong Arm of the Corps on turn 6. He rode the resulting momentum shift to win the game.
