Infernal Plague Results

I made it to the final table two weeks ago at the Infernal Plague storyline event, my second finals table at a storyline tourney. Now if only my luck can extend to the sanctioned tournaments...

Anyway, I used my Gangrel combat and bleed, remodified with the Dragonbound event card. In the first round, my prey, R, served me and L up to my predator, which was one of the weirder experiences I've had in tournaments.

In the second round, I was luckier. My Dragonbound came out pretty early, so I was able to torpor L's vampires, and take him out. A Fame on one of D's vamps sealed his fate, and I took the table, which was enough to get me into the finals.

I lasted approximately 3-4 minutes in the finals table, thanks in large part to J's 5 Anarch Revolts. That, and I had made a colossal blunder. Instead of Sophia Watson and Gustavo Morales, I elected to bring out Brunhilde and Omaya. The larger vampires depleted my pool too quickly, and I fell to the infernalists. The rest of the finals match found me testing my City Gangrel deck with the other players.

The Infernal Plague

Well, I made it to the final table at the Infernal Plague, only to last a little more than ten minutes, as 5 Anarch Revolts did me in. I also made a tactical error by bringing out Brunhilde first. I should have brought out Gustavo Morales instead, so as to manage my pool more wisely. I made a second blunder by bringing out Omaya in the hopes that she would be able to do something. Ah, well. c'est la vie.

Strange Bedfellows

As I write this, the Strange Bedfellows tourney is under way at CCHQ. I would've liked to have participated, but family comes first. Besides, there's still the Infernal Plague storyline tournament two Saturdays from now, and I was able to free up time to be able to join it.

In Strange Bedfellows, players compete in teams, which are created right there and then. In short, the players have no idea who they're going to be paired up with. I've never played this format, so I'm not able to see how it works out.
