Small report on my quarterfinal finish in Toowoomba on the weekend. I went 3-1-1 and came 6th in swiss. (RG Channel Monsters (8pts) was the deck I played) I ran pretty hot, but I don’t know how much of that is the deck just being built to run hot and mulliganing R1 – 2-0 v jund G1 I had a… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba COMP REL (22 Players) 11/02/2023 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
I’d been tuning my “Breya Bomber Breach” deck over the last few months and had come to a 75 that I felt really good about. The deck is an artifact based synergy deck with many combos with overlapping pieces. These include but aren’t limited to the “Slush Puppy” combo, bomberman combo, thopter/sword combo and a Karn the Great Creator package.… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba 7-Point Highlander – Competitive REL 15/11/2021 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
Wow! Thanks to two of our local judges we were still able to fire this event narrowly dodging the greater Brisbane lock down. Tyrone Phillips and Ryan Kruger worked tirelessly through all of the 5 rounds of swiss and the top 8 with Eventlink down (Challonge and spread sheets for tiebreakers). We can’t thank you enough for making this tournament… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba 7-Point Highlander – Competitive REL 14/08/2021 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
15 players battled it out over 4 rounds at Battlestation, Toowoomba in the first of two events to be held on successive Tuesday nights in July. This event was non-proxy, although there were still a lot of MH2 cards present, especially in the winning decks. In terms of deck archetypes in the room, my rough count was as follows: 2x… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba 7PH 06/07/2021 (15 players)| Deck Lists & Tournament Report

I wanted to build upon the “Slush Puppy” combo/control deck that I theory-crafted and piloted to a Top 8 finish in the previous Toowoomba Battlestation event. I feel that the package of Intution/Gifts Ungiven into a deterministic win is incredibly strong and I wanted to experiment with putting it into a more proactive shell. For the uninitiated, the combo in… Read More »QLD: 7-Point Highlander Tournament Toowoomba Battlestation (33 Players) 20/02/2021 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
In preparation for the upcoming Competitive REL event we held a few extra 7 point highlander tournaments over the last month. Just some good old fashioned midrange showed up to play this week. Noted this kind of meta should be a field day for Thoracle and other combo decks like UWR Breach. A few of our players have some very… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba 7-Point Fortnightly Highlander (13players) 16/02/2021 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
Non proxy event tend to show a higher variance between archtypes in the Toowoomba metagame. A nice wash of classic midrange decks made their way to the top.

After the big points update at the end of January we sleeved up some proxy cards to test out for the upcoming event COMP REL event in Feb. The pointing of Acall to 5 and Oko to 2 meant a lot of players just simply cut Oko altogether, others chose to push out True-Name Nemesis and some changed colour combinations… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba 7-Point (Proxy) Highlander (16 Players) 02/02/2021 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
What a way to finish Australia Day than to play our favourite format. This non-proxy event’s top 8 decks had a even spread of archetypes – 3 combo decks, 2 control decks, 3 aggro decks, 2 tempo decks and a splash of midrange that blead into other strategies. Only one piece of power in the top 8 in Ancestral Recall.… Read More »QLD: Toowoomba 7-Point Fortnightly Highlander (14 players) 26/01/2021 | Deck Lists & Tournament Report
