Affinity vs Splinter Twin 2-0
This article is part of a series on Affinity.
Game 1:
On the play, keep a one-land hand. Turn 2, I delay blowing up Ragavan so I have 6 things to tap for Kappa later. I go down to one life, but I'm able to win because of Arcbound Ravager's ridiculous pump anything ability.
Errors:
- Opponent plays a Voice of Victory which turns of my Metallic Rebuke, but I don't realize it and keep mana open for it.
Sideboard
- In: 3 Whipflare
- Out: 1 Aether Spellbomb
- Out: 3 Metallic Rebuke turned off by Voice of Victory
- In: Harbinger of the Seas
Maybe should have brought in Grafdigger's Cage instead of the Harbinger of the Seas.
Game 2:
I keep a hand that's leaning heavily into Pinnacle Emissary and drones. I get lucky because opponent doesn't have Galvanic Discharge up and I draw a Kappa.
- Turn 2, Opponent bricks and doesn't have a two-drop.
- Turn 3, Opponent bricks again and doesn't find a third land, or a two-drop.
Opponent concedes after seeing I have lethal on turn 5.
Errors:
- I tap wrong for Kappa on turn 2. Should have tapped Mox Opal and kept the Mishra's Bauble up.
