Event Decks Dragon's Maze vs Magic 2014: Spidey (Rush of the Wild) vs Oversoul (Strength of Selesyna

[Spiderman]

Block a Centaur.

 

[Oversoul]

Man, I'm slipping lately. I completely forgot what's in my hand and what I was going to do this turn. I think that I had no responses for combat, but let me wait until I get home to make sure.

 

[Oversoul]

OK, I checked. No responses here. Centaur kills your Emissary and you take 4?

 

[Spiderman]

Yep

 

[Oversoul]

Block the Traveler.

 

[Oversoul]

Traveler dies and you take 4?

 

[Spiderman]

Yep

 

[Oversoul]

I kinda feel like Rush of the Wild didn't perform well for either of us, but it might be that this is also a bad matchup for it. Felt like the deck based around "Bloodrush" should be all smashy-smashy, but it was forced to play defensively in both games. :/

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, I mana-deprived because I had big creatures, and I wasn't drawing the little creatures/creature removal to take care of your guys while I waited for mana. Ah well.

Onto the next set!
