----
Report from Memory, I didn't take any notes.
Sorry for the names, the english and whatever you want.
Let's begin !
After Paris 3 weeks ago where I was paired against 6 aggro/hate decks with my Thoughtcast painter, I decided to play control over combo.
So I drop my painter deck because I don't like it so much and I expect many control/combo in Breda.
I was right.
I build my "old" Control Slaver with some modifications:
-1 Fact of Fiction
-1 Misdirection
-1 Welder
-1 Triskelion
+1 Repeal
+1 Rack and Ruin
+1 Triskelavus
+1 Sensei's Divining Top

Notes:
I've never used Mindlsaver in the entire tournament.
I think I've never won the toss.
Round 1: Chen with UB Painter
Game 1:
A good starting hand with draw, mana acceleration and a Demonic tutor. He starts with a Duress, removing my Demonic tutor.
I got nothing relevant with my Thirst for Knowledge. He tries to cast Grindstone which gets his FoW. A couple of turns later he casts Tinker for Inkwell Leviathan with a backup Mana Drain.
He rides the Leviathan all the way to victory.
-1 Sundering Titan -1 Goblin Welder -2 random +1 Inkwell Leviathan +1 Rack and Ruin +2 Pithing Neddle
Game 2:
I kept a hand with counters and Mana. I going into mana flood while he gets loads of card advantage and mana.
I think he killed me with Leviathan aswell.
0-2
0-1-0
Round 2: Daan with Kobold-Clamp Storm
This round was pretty quick and disappointing for my opponenent. In both games he can't get more than 2 mana sources, while I had all the luck/skill needed ^^
Game 1:
He starts with a Swamp, Dark Ritual, Skullclamp and a Sol Ring, he burns for 1. I had a wonderful starting hand with enough mana to Tinker a Sundering Titan.
As I saw him playing a Basic Swamp and a Skullclamp, I thought he was Playing a weird kind of Suicide Black.
So I decide to play tinker without backup ... and a 7/10 comes into play destroying his unique land.
I swung 2 times with the 7/10 while he gets a Kobold and draws 2 extra card. He casts another Kobold to chumpblock my Titan, but I repeal it and attack for the win.
-1 Welder -1 Gifts Ungiven -1 Tormod's Crypt +1 Trinisphere +2 Pithing Needle
Game 2:
He opens with a Pearl and a Swamp. He casts Skullclamp which gets his FoW.
I have a tinker in my hand and cast it turn 2 for a Triskelavus. It's beatdown time !
2-0
1-1-0
Round 3: Robin with RBW Fish
Game 1:
Turn 1 we drop a land and pass. Then he plays a Confident, then a second a turn after. I havd a Tinker in my opening hand, again ^^.
On my turn Tinker -> 7/10. He blocks a couple of turns with 2 Grim lavamancers, while Confidents are taking care of his Life.
Eventually he casts a Hide/Seek trying to hide my Titan. Mana Drained ! I topdeck YWin -> Tinker -> Triskelavus, GG
-1 Goblin Welder -1 Gorilla Shaman -1 Sundering Titan -1 Mindsalver -1 Tormod's Crypt +2 Pyroclasm +2 Sower of Temptation +1 Inkwell Leviathan
Game 2:
As usual in this tournament, Tinker is not far away. Demonic tutor for Tinker -> Leviathan.
He has a Diabolic edict but I have a FoW.
He successfully plays a Hide/Seek, gaining 7 life from a Triskelavus. I eventually play a Time Walk for the win.
I have to admit I got extremely lucky in this round because this kind of fish deck is not a favorable match-up for me, and I topdecked everything I need when needed (Drain, FoW).
2-0
2-1-0
Round 4: Marco with Dragon Combo
This round was a joke !
Game 1:
I don't know what he was playing, so I kept a good hand with mana and Ancestral Recall.
He starts with Swamp, Dark Ritual, Black Lotus, Worldgorger Dragon !!!1!!11!!
I play Tinker, AGAIN, turn 2 for my Titan, but I can't race the Flying monster.
-1 random card -1 Mindslaver -1 goblin Welder -1 Triskelavus +1 Tormod's Crypt +2 Pithing Needle +1 Duplicant
Game 2:
I open with Fetchland, Lotus, Demonic tutor -> Pithing Needle naming bazzar of Baghdad.
On his turn he plays Swamp, a Mox, Dark Ritual, Duress (removing a FoW), Nyxathid !!!!
I didn't play anything relevant, a Welder. On his turn he plays a Parasitic Strix !!!! (wtf) and beat me to death.
I had 2 fetch on the table and I was at 4 when a drew a Vampiric tutor ... too late.
Maybe I could have won if I had 1 more life/mana:
He had 0 cards in hand, I could have tutored Tinker to Duplicant and weld his Strix out. Maybe ...
After the match he told me he sideboard out all his comba parts (even Bazzars) to switch into aggro mode !! >_>
0-2
2-2-0
Round 5:
Benjamin with TPS
Game 1: He plays Tinker -> Leviathan. I Fow, he FoWs, 'nuff said.
I don't know what he's playing. Probably Tezz, Remora or TPS.
-1 Sundering Titan -2 Random +2 Pithing Needle +1 Trinisphere maybe
Game 2:
We both draw-go for a couple of turns, 1 Ancestral Recall countered in both sides.
I cast a Welder and eventually he Tinkers for Leviathan while I discard and weld in a Titan from a Thrist for Knowledge.
The 2 dudes are looking into each other's eyes for many turns (I don't have any Islands in play).
We draw-go for 8-10 turns and finally he Tendrils me for 20.
0-2
2-3-0
Round 6: Bart with TPS
Game 1:
The first game is pretty easy for him. He plays a Necropotence by winning a counter war. Then he draws too many cards for me to race him.
He plays a huge Tendrils out of Ywill.
-1 Gifts Ungiven -1 Goblin Welder -1 ??? +1 Trinisphere +1 Tormod's Crypt +1 Yixlid Jailer (because I'm a noob)
Game 2:
I start with a Welder, then a TfK turn 2 discarding Trinisphere and welding it in. He draws some cards with Ponder? and Brainstorm.
On my turn I played a Mox monkey, another TfK, discarding and welding Titan. He scoops.
Game 3: Additional turns after a couple of minutes. It's a draw.
1-1
2-3-1
Not a good day of magic, but the Breda atmosphere was awesome.
Thanks to everybody, to my opponents for the great games (even if I lost).
