Worldwake Prerelease 2010

Posted by Mr Z on January 31st, 2010 filed in Tournament Reports

Well the big day has been and gone – I am sitting down looking over the souvaneers I have of the day. I had a blast despite coming out on the wrong side of a 2-3 match tally. There are some amazing new cards to play around with in this set.

First, here is the deck I registered:

Worldwake Pre-release Deck 1

Format: Zendikar Block Limited
Colours: Black | Blue | Red

Notes:

Decklist:

17 Creatures	6 Other Spells	18 Lands
1 Blood Seeker 1 Bloodhusk Ritualist 1 Bojuka Brigand 2 Crypt Ripper 1 Gatekeeper of Malakir 1 Gomazoa 1 Halimar Excavator 1 Jagwasp Swarm 1 Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet 1 Ruthless Cullblade 1 Sphinx of Jwar Isle 1 Surrakar Banisher 1 Tideforce Elemental 1 Torch Slinger 1 Umara Raptor 1 Walking Atlas	1 Blood Tribute 1 Burst Lightning 1 Disfigure 1 Hammer of Ruin 1 Marsh Casualties 1 Vampire’s Bite	1 Creeping Tar Pit 1 Halimar Depths 3 Island 3 Mountain 1 Soaring Seacliff 9 Swamp

Nothing too stellar but a serviceable deck none the less. It just seemed to lack the ability to deal with big threats. The ultimate highlight was slipping through the final 5 points of unblockable damage with a Hammer of Ruin equipped Creeping Tar Pit while facing at least 26 points of incomming damage the following turn.

The second deck I played in the two games was:

Worldwake Pre-release Deck 2

Format: Zendikar Block Limited
