Since the middle of the week when I recognized that I'm rankend under the thousand best Warcraft 3 - Reign of Chaos players at the Northrend Portal (Europe) I want to play as often as possible to become better and better in this statistic.
But today I lost 2 out of 3 games and I'm dissapointed ... :-(
- tomorrow will be a new day and my Nightelf forces will rise again.

I like to play with the small, fast elves and their powerful spells assisted by the mighty Demon Hunter Illidan, who is the key to my wins all the time. I need his power, quickness and his skills - like the powerful Mana Burn and the ultimate Metamorphosis, when Illidan becomes a powerful demon. So the main aim in my tactics is to boost my Demon Hunter to Level 6 as fast as I can.

This weekend was Magic-time at the Spielraum in Salzburg and my brother Jakob, my friend Max and I decided to take part.
I played with my R/G beatdown-deck, Max with his famous Aluren-Deck and Jakob with his W/B Clerics-Deck.
So we started to play ...

• My first game was against a deck type which I never won against: Suicide-Black.
  And it was starting badly: First round my opponet played Sarcomancy and the second round once again and so I was confronted with two 2/2 Zombies. But I handled them with two Magma Jet and played my weapon Wild Mongrel, Firstborn Fangren and a few other cretures too. He killed many of them but at the end I won all two games easily and was celebrating my first victory. Standing 1:0
  
• Second round I had to play against one of my best friends Max and his famous Aluren-Deck
  I knew his deck and I knew that I don't have much against it except speed, to kill him as fast as I can. First match started fast: with Cabal Therapy he made me short of Rancor but he did not managed to start his combo and so I killed him. Second match he initiated his combo really fast and so I had no chance. So the third game had to decide who will be the winner in this matter of prestige! And I had a perfect start: First game-round I played Birds of Paradise and second round my best card Troll Ascetic came into play. Third round I boosted him with two Rancor and I played a Wild Mongrel which means 7 and next round 9 damage to Max and so I had my greatest triumph in magic history. Standing 2:0
  
• Third match was against Peter, a member of the Spielraum Crew and his Red-Deck-Wins.
  It was really tough fight but this time luck was not on my side and so I lost the decisive game only for 1 (one) lifepoint. Standing 2:1
  
• Fourth game I was without a chance against a Counter-Burn-Deck.
  He countered nearly all of my powerful cards and at later game he attacked my with Lightning Angel, Prophetic Bolt and removed my power with Hibernation. Standing 2:2
  
• The last game was nearly a mirror match against a R/G Beatdown-Deck.
  My deck was the better one and so I managed to win this game easily 2:1 - loosing one of the matches only with bad luck. Standing 3:2
  

Summary:
I finished the tournament at the 9. place which was really satisfying, because I managed to win against hard players and won against a Suicide-Black-Deck for the first time and (much more important) against Max, who finished 13. with the result of 2:3. Jakob finished 16. with the result 2:3 - see again next time there ...
