My first round got called, I sat at the table, and while I waited for my opponent to show up, I just heard &#8220;I&#8217;m playing <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Bravo\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Bravo<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>&#8221; on the table over, and I had a moment of doubt.

My first round loss to Chane was due in part to an extremely aggressive start as well as spending cards to block <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Seeds of Agony red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Seeds of Agony<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> arcane damage. I&#8217;ll elaborate further on in the report about why I think this was a mistake on my part, but my opponent was very well-versed on Chane sequencing and leaned much heavier into <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Shrill of Skullform red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Shrill<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Hit the High Notes red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Hit the High Notes<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, playing a full six copies of each, leading to some dangerous turns. My other three rounds were pretty uneventful, though my second round Chane opponent (who I found out was friends and locals with the first Chane), played a Runechant-focused build that tried to go hard on <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Arcane Cussing red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Arcane Cussing<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> + <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Deadwood Dirge red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Deadwood Dirge<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and rune gate cards to put up 20-damage turns regularly.

The mirror was about as grindy as I expected, especially given that my opponent was playing a more fun build focusing on <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Miller&#8217;s Grindstone\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Miller&#8217;s Grindstone<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and dominate attacks, and the Ira match played out the way I wanted it to; Earth react on the first Kodachi and take one damage on the second, and value block my way to victory.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunday &#8211; 10:30 AM Commoner Gold Foil Event<\/h2>\n<p>The one change I made between Friday and Sunday was switching out one of the <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Steadfast blue\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">blue Steadfasts<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> for a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Emerging Avalanche blue\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">blue Emerging Avalanche<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, not that I was really going to be doing much in the way of playing it face up, but the blue Steadfasts felt extremely bad against Chane, and there was less <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Iyslander\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Iyslander<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Dash\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Dash<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> than I expected looking over the other player&#8217;s hero choices on Friday. So I felt safe in this switch to be more proactive on straight up blocking. I got to the venue, overpriced coffee in hand, and made a beeline for the vendors to buy a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Sow Tomorrow\u00a0 blue\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">blue Sow Tomorrow<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>. I somehow didn&#8217;t own any copies of this common so I paid an exorbitant $3 for a rainbow foil, sleeved it up, and waited for the event to start.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5496 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461009224_1701213860664967_2819477907483914219_n-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461009224_1701213860664967_2819477907483914219_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461009224_1701213860664967_2819477907483914219_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461009224_1701213860664967_2819477907483914219_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461009224_1701213860664967_2819477907483914219_n-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461009224_1701213860664967_2819477907483914219_n-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Round 1 &#8211; Robert on Chane &#8211; W<\/h3>\n<p>Robert was my round one opponent from Friday, and got into the game with Chane, so he was very clearly well-versed on the deck and its lines. Against Runeblades, I&#8217;ve decided to take <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Nullrune Boots\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Nullrune Boots<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> as my only piece of arcane barrier because the <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Quicken\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Quicken<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> off the <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Civic Steps\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Civic Steps<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> is absurdly detrimental in the face of <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Hit the High Notes red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Hit the High Notes<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>. I also noticed he added in some yellow <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Lead the Charge yellow\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Lead the Charge<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>s to the deck for some longer combat chains, which was potentially scary had I not seen one banished off a Soul Shackle on the second turn. The game came down to him deciding to not pop <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Goliath Gauntlet\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Goliath Gauntlet<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> on a Shrill and then forgetting to activate Chane a turn later, ending the turns abruptly and letting me get a small stabilizing position.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Hit the High Notes red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Lead the Charge yellow\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Meat and Greet red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>I think in terms of my play compared to my loss on Friday, I decided to not block out the Seeds arcane damage against Robert because he didn&#8217;t play <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Meat and Greet red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Meat and Greets<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, meaning taking the ping was rarely the start of a huge turn. Robert&#8217;s list also played <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Seeds of Agony blue\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">blue Seeds<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, which felt slightly awkward due to having fewer zero-costs in general, only being <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Bounding Demigon red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Bounding Demigon<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> from banish and <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Runerager Swarm red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">red Runerager Swarm<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, meaning that the blood debt damage started piling up and he was taking three to four damage and ultimately losing to an <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Oasis Respite yellow\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Oasis Respite<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> I sandbagged for a few turns in arsenal.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 2 &#8211; Aabhii on Chane &#8211; W<\/h3>\n<p>This round started in the worst way possible, I missed hearing the announcement that it had started, almost got an IP2 for tardiness and then my sleeves split during shuffling. Thankfully, the judge gave us a time extension due to the round starting earlier than scheduled so I didn&#8217;t get penalized.\u00a0Aabhii is also a Sydney-sider who picked up the new hotness in Chane, and is a self-confessed Wizard main, meaning he wasn&#8217;t the most familiar with the deck. This game was less closely-contested compared to my game against Robert as Aabhii had some unfortunate turns of not hitting a non-attack action nor drawing one, leading to some anemic combats.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 3 &#8211; Logan on Ira &#8211; L<\/h3>\n<p>Ira, my dread nemesis, finally reared her head at me as I played the last rounds surrounded by her. A Melbournian, Logan&#8217;s Ira deck was as clean and well-oiled as they came, with the only real surprise being the <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Pouncing Paws\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Pouncing Paws<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> + <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Tearing Shuko\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Tearing Shuko<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> package. I had a few awkward hands of all reds or no Earth cards, and he navigated alternating between using Ira&#8217;s buff on the second Kodachi and generating good breakpoints extremely well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Pouncing Paws\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Tearing Shuko\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Heartened Cross Strap\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>I think I also played quite poorly with my <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Civic Steps\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Civic Steps<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, choosing to defend with it in inopportune moments that led to some huge damage turns on Logan&#8217;s side. I ultimately lost to the classic four-wide combat chain into closing the chain, popping <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Heartened Cross Strap\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Cross Strap<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> for a big attack after I expended all my cards. Great play from Logan, and a reminder to myself to tighten up when giving my opponents resources.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 4 &#8211; Jayden on Dash &#8211; W<\/h3>\n<p>This match was a funny one, in more ways than one. For starters, Jayden, another Sydney local, is just a <em>funny guy<\/em>. I immediately felt a more casual air to the match with him when he sat down, and really took everything in stride. Like Robert, Jayden got into the game with his hero of choice, and has stuck with Dash in all formats, meaning he really knew how to manage <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Hyper Driver red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Hyper Driver<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, even playing <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Re-Charge! red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">red Re-Charge!<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> to juice the next attack while maintaining resource advantage on me. However, his inexperience in Commoner came to be his undoing, as he chose to take <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Teklo Plasma Pistol\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Teklo Plasma Pistol<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and a defensive headpiece into me. As soon as equipment was revealed I let out a surprised &#8220;no <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Plasma Barrel Shot\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">shotgun<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>?&#8221; to which he replied &#8220;shotgun?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Hyper Driver red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Teklo Plasma Pistol\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Overblast red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Cue eight turns later, he&#8217;s popped the <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Achilles Accelerator\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Achilles Accelerator<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> after an <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Overblast red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Overblast<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> only to shoot me for two with the pistol and said &#8220;I should&#8217;ve taken the shotgun&#8230;&#8221; An extremely fun match, and a great sport of an opponent, but now I was 3-1, and needed a win to lock up a Top 8 spot. The real worry was that there was an Enigma player floating around my bracket, which was a nightmare matchup for me. In fact, I saw the same player dismantle my round three opponent on Friday with extreme ease, so that was the one matchup I absolutely wanted to dodge.<\/p>\n<h3>Round 5 &#8211; Alex on Iyslander &#8211; W<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, a matchup I <em>wanted<\/em> to see! Alex was a rare opponent in that he hailed from Tasmania, the one state separated from the rest of the country by sea, and was someone I saw playing on Friday, also on Iyslander. This match itself was pretty uneventful in that I took arcane barrier five into Alex&#8217;s Wizard deck and promptly blocked every single attack out. Alex took it all in stride however, and we had a little discussion after our match about how he should have sided in both <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Fyendal&#8217;s Fighting Spirit red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Fyendal&#039;s Fighting Spirit<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Wounded Bull red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Wounded Bull<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> for the matchup as opposed to just the Spirit because it makes the cards I decide to arsenal a real tough decision between stowing a red and getting it out of my hand or putting in a Steadfast or an Oasis Respite which aren&#8217;t amazing at value blocking those big attacks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Fyendal&#8217;s Fighting Spirit red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wounded Bull red\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>So I was 4-1 and locked for Top 8, there were at least two Ira players making their way there as well, and a high chance the Enigma player and Alex would also be there at 3-2 due to strength of schedule and breakers.<\/p>\n<h3>Quarterfinals &#8211; Rematch against Alex &#8211; L<\/h3>\n<p>In what can only be described as the funniest outcome possible, I paired back into Alex after telling him how to beat me and I must say his adaptation was excellent. He made a great read on my arsenal being a defense reaction and proactively used <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Glacial Horns\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Glacial Horns<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> to lock it up before going for a big turn that drained me of cards and allowing him to blast me out on my turn. Fantastic play all around from Alex, and a great set of opponents for the event itself. The Top 8 was also less homogenous than I expected, comprising of three Ira, Oldhim, Chane, Dash Database(!!!), Enigma, and Iyslander. I think a lot of the Chane players paired into each other early on and knocked each other out of contention, which is a shame, but overall a nice varied Top 8 with some unexpected faces. Realistically, I think I had a decent shot of making the finals if things broke my way, but as the third seed heading into the elimination playoffs, I would&#8217;ve struggled against an Ira who got to choose to go second.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion and Moving Forward<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m decently happy on my overall performance, with it being the first paper event I&#8217;ve played in almost a year now. I&#8217;ve got the drive and fire to play more Commoner, and have mentally committed to travel to the next big event in the region. Realistically speaking, I think I had a very strong chance at making Top 8 in the event, being the only Oldhim in the Sunday event, and having none of the rounds come close to going to time. I definitely felt the rust in some poor decision making and fell prey to the deck&#8217;s occasional brick hands of four reds, but the list itself felt smooth into the expected metagame.<\/p>\n<p>My regularly scheduled writing will continue next month, going over some deck updates with <em>Rosetta<\/em> affecting the existing meta in a meaningful way, as well as a revision on how to play Oldhim against certain matchups. Also I got my playmat signed by the Tall Timmy, so who&#8217;s the real winner at the end of the day?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5495 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461004484_1422293835839880_1377391123402326121_n-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"796\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461004484_1422293835839880_1377391123402326121_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461004484_1422293835839880_1377391123402326121_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461004484_1422293835839880_1377391123402326121_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461004484_1422293835839880_1377391123402326121_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/461004484_1422293835839880_1377391123402326121_n-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Further Reading:<\/h3>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/choosing-the-right-flesh-and-blood-deck-in-a-wide-metagame\/\">Choosing the Right Flesh and Blood Deck in a Wide Metagame<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/common-conquer-part-1-commoner-deckbuilding-the-hard-way\/\">How to Build a Commoner Deck For Flesh and Blood<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/common-conquer-3-gear\/\">The Best Equipment for the Commoner Format<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come check out this report from Calling: Sydney, where our Commoner writer Daniel battled in two tournaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":2441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[102,399,7],"tags":[193,103,157,126,307],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
