Dogleash

After soldiering through the whole Paris Week of Nightmares with one single deck (The unnamed), it was high time to change into something else for the Swedish Nationals trip. I didn't land very far away, though, because the deck I chose wasn't only based on my old signature deck but also emplyed quite a few Baali friends. One of my motives was to try and make the most of the last chances to play Parity Shift in its old form. I was expecting violent metas (and was right), so I decided to improve the combat defense by including Unleashes. The previous versions had included Scout Youngwood, and Arishat as the only Baali, but I decided the other Baalis would do just fine, and their specials would come handy (I used all of them, too). The preliminary rounds of the tournament were very difficult with rush decks all around. In the second round, I brought up my first minion after an hour and 50 minutes, just to be immediately rushed and eaten. Luckily though, I had somehow managed to win the first game and squeezed into the final as the last seed. In the final, more or less everything went my way. Khursid behind me wasn't drawing his Legionnaires and the weenie Auspex in front of me couldn't match my consistent five-stealth actions. I was in no danger whatsoever during the whole game and just rolled into a completely unexpected sweep.
