Haman's Plot
First, this deck was strange, and in retrospect, it's really bad, but I saw success in a tournament or two and this game was really good, although I don't think I had it won.
So Clift has always been known as a notoriously slow player, but was incredibly good during his peak period, which this game took place towards the very end of that peak. Clift was playing an Isaiah/Orange Hand Control that was beating the playerbase at this particular local really well. I had struggled a bit more, but both of us were the two undefeateds at 3-0. My offense was designed to shred defense and hit TGT walk-ins during the "late game" which was different in 2013 than now. I did a pretty good job of nailing defense, but not exceptional, as Clift was running 8-9 ECs. His offense got rolling with I am Holy, but I was still able to squeeze every possible block out of my deck. This lead to us finishing at 4-4 when 45 minutes elapsed. This was one of the most tense games of my career to this time, and I'll never forget that this was the first time I had a game go to time.
