Recap of bad beats from yesterday cause I feel like complaining.
Game 2, round 1, opponent at 3, 5 turns to draw dig or burn, blank die.
Round 4, game 1, dig through time, see in order land, stokex2, valorous stancex4. Needed a creature or a cheap burn spell.
Round 8 game 2. I read my opponent for jeskai charm and new he was gonna blow me out but I was banking on drawing one of my 3 angers. My hand is dig, Elspeth and something. He attacks with double rabble, 7 tokens and seeker. I block both rabbles, he charms and gains like 30 life dealing me fifteen. I untap, whiff, dig whiff. Game 3, hand is stacked but I end up fetching once with 2 basics in hand, draw the fourth basic followed by strand 3 and 4. Ended up using a strand as a lotus petal for a dig, draw no red source for the anger in hand.
I had some sweet games, where I destroyed an abzan control deck where I played a dig with buyback and had both keranos and outpost siege going. There was a game where I abzan advantaged to make a seeker a 3/3 at the end of my opponents turn, then angered killing a rabble and token using a slash and strike to clean up a Stormbreath and brimaz followed up by an attack to gain 6 life and stabilize me vs. RW. I also won an unwinnable game vs. Green devotion where I topdecked perfect spells for 4 turns in a row.
Mostly though, had a ton of bad variance over the weekend. Won 1 die roll in 8 rounds. Lost all game ones for the first 5 rounds. Mulled upwards of 10 times in my first 13 games. Was miserable.

You gotta understand, I love the beatdown. I really do. I always have.
Beatdown is hard, though.

Be comfortable with the idea that you could lose all your matches. Know top pros Gp win% is generally around 66%(x-3).
Basically there's a lot of stuff that's outside of your control, so just deal with it. If you must tilt off, do it in between rounds, not games. Learn to compartmentalize.

Didn't we go over this already a week ago?Anyone have articles / strategies for not tilting? I'm trying to better myself and looking for places to start.
In a pinch, Khaos' beard can help turn this around.
I rarely skip a Khaospawn wall of text because I know there is always piss at the end of the rainbow.

Funny story: me and friends play modern on cockatrice with our various different band lists. Was playing UW tron vs. Melira pod. Pod gains infinite life.
He asks if I concede.
I say watch this.
I emrakeul him annihilating his board minus a finks which persists, then I verdict pass. Eot gifts for emrakeul, rev, verdict, gifts. he gives me rev and verdict. I pass, rev for bunch.
Game goes on until he figures out I can replay emrakeul and verdict it forever and deck him since emrakeul reshuffles back in.
His tears were delicious.

All I see are Siege Rhinos failing when they were needed most. Most glorious indeed. May we feast on rhino meat and gain cosmic power!

In most of the games Stark won, they where very elementary. The one game of the finals that he won though was pretty impressive considering how patient he was playing around bile blights every turn and holding his burn spells.

Only if it was a stampede to the inevitable barbecue.
