55:30 I have played Dimir Frogtide in an RCQ and played against boros in preparations a lot. While guide of souls is a nasty card, on its own it is just a 1/2. Boros never evers has no turn two play with two mana except they are playing two one drops. As soon as the opp played GoS it was clear that another one drop will follow and even if not they just had a 1/2. Using Subtelty here was a mistake. Now you have to face a growing army with Ocelot. Best outcome just would be another GoS but you could have bounced that also. The turn after you had CS spell ready for other two drops and would be completly fine. 1:03:08 Another mistake is to use your CS here. The deck is basically 90% and you have to control the board. You already had a frog on the board and get your card advantage. While using the CS on the amulett you let the opp resolve Ajani or a raptor etc. And you only gain is a +1/+1 counter on a frog. The winning strat is to control the board state and let them not resolve anything that can give them a two for one. 1:07:39 Never let ajani flip. Its often game over. You have to take the dmg. You could have used bowmaster at the end of the turn to kill an ocelot and if the opp flipped ajani, you can kill it right away with Frog and even get another card draw. In your case you could have forced the amulett, and bowmaster in your turn before attacks. Mostly they won´t flip ajani but you can get kill the pride and go in for some dmg. Also use your bowmaster to block any creature it can kill. The deck has basically no card draw (if they don´t play the one ring) Those little things win or lose you the game here. I think you had the right answers but were not familiar enough with the match up. 1:42:43 If you have a fetch land you should bauble yourself before playing the land. If you see a card that you like and if it is a one like spell pierce, you could play just the island and pass. If it is a spell you like but don´t cast on opp turn, you play the fetchland, draw the card and fetch at the end of his turn. If it is a card you don´t like you fetch in your turn. By doing so you basically get a scry from your bauble for free instead of seeing a random card from your opp, which is defenelty the better option. Against storm you have to board in consign to memory. It counters the ruby but also the storm trigger. It is one of the best sideboard cards against storm. Image they invest all their power and cards to get to storm 15 and you counter the storm trigger and they ping you just for 1. Not only did you survive but they invester all they got to one shot you and it is really hard for them to get back from this.
50:56 they are at 3 life you counter the big eldrazi. But they would lose due to the ring trigger next turn wouldn’t you want to counter another onering?
Yeah, totally, the only thing I should have countered would be another Ring. I didn't play optimally/made mistakes in a few other situations as well. In the aftermath I was kind of embarrassed, but I give myself grace: nobody's playing perfectly, and I was particularly stressed during that tournament. But thanks for watching! :)
