Round 7: School's In    • Print Author Image  Guillaume Wafo-
Tapa of France and Shuu Komuro of Japan, both at 5-1, sat down
for the final round of Day 1.  Game 1  Komuro led the first game
off with an Elvish Handservant and a Leaf Gilder, which is
always a quality start for an Elf deck that tends to want as
many Elves in play as possible. His Leaf Gilder allowed also
allowed him to get a Cloudcrown Oak into play before Wafo-Tapa
had a third land. Wafo-Tapa didn't let himself fall too far
behind, though, and a Weight of Conscience turned the Oak into a
treehouse.  Guillaume Wafo-Tapa keeps his cool... Wafo-Tapa
simply drew his card, played a fourth land, and passed the turn,
which for his blue-white deck could signify anything from Neck
Snap to some sort of Faerie. When Komuro attacked with his
Handservant, Wafo-Tapa revealed that he was holding a Sentinels
of Glen Elendra. Komuro was expecting this, though, and killed
it with Violet Pall before it could block. Wafo-Tapa just
shrugged and moved onto his turn.
