8 Men Standard #1

A couple of days ago I played and recorded an 8 men standard tournament on Magic Online.

I don’t know why, but YouTube can’t process the video about the first match. Anyway this isn’t a big problem because I played against a dumb deck filled with enter on the battlefield tapped lands and I easily won 2-0.

The list I played is the one which won US Nationals:

4  Celestial Colonnade
5  Forest
2  Island
1  Marsh Flats
4  Misty Rainforest
2  Plains
1  Sejiri Steppe
3  Stirring Wildwood
3  Verdant Catacombs

4  Birds of Paradise
4  Knight of the Reliquary
4  Lotus Cobra
4  Noble Hierarch
4  Sovereigns of Lost Alara

2  Eldrazi Conscription
3  Elspeth, Knight-Errant
2  Explore
4  Jace, the Mind Sculptor
4  Mana Leak

Sideboard

1  Bojuka Bog
4  Celestial Purge
2  Jace’s Ingenuity
4  Linvala, Keeper of Silence
2  Obstinate Baloth
2  Spell Pierce

We have only 2 Jaces on MtGO, so I played a Negate and the third Explore instead of them. This probably was an error. Playing two additional threats is probably better, I’m thinking about 2 Baneslayer Angel or a Baneslayer and a Gideon Jura.

This is the semifinal:

And this is the final:
