2011 Malaysian Nationals Finals
Lee Eing Yung (Valakut-Twin) vs Hiew Chee Choong (White Weenie)

Game 1



Lee had a rocky start as he mulligan twice while Hiew led off with a turn 2 Lynx along with a Marsh Flats. Hiew's Lynx punched in for 4 as he cracked his Marsh Flats before summoning a Gideon’s Lawkeeper.

Lee then summoned an Oracle of Mul Data to see a Deceiver Exarch on top of his library as Hiew’s Lynx punched in for another 4 before a Hero of Bladehold joined Hiew's board. Lee’s Oracle then revealed a Misty Rainforest which got played, revealing Deceiver Exarch on top, which led Lee to crack the Rainforest for an Island. He then found a Terramorphic Expanse to play on top, which gave way to a Harrow.

As Hiew tried to attack, Lee cast Harrow sacrificing the Expanse to summon a Deceiver Exarch to hold back the Hero of Bladehold, leaving an Overgrown Battlement on top. Hiew then exiled the Exarch an Oblivion Ring but Lee then summoned Primeval Titan to threaten to put the game out of Hiew’s reach.

Hiew then summoned Student of Warfare and used his Tectonic Edge on Lee’s Valakut. Misty Rainforest was revealed and played after Lee drew the revealed Exarch to see Avenger of Zendikar on top. Before he could attack with his Primeval Titan, Hiew tapped it down.

Lee then Explore-d to draw his revealed Avenger to reveal a Valakut that got played which then revealed a Primeval Titan which eventually got summoned on the following turn. The Titan killed off Hiew’s Hero of Bladehold and Gideon’s Lawkeeper with the help of his Valakut triggers.

The writing was on the wall for Hiew but it took an Avenger of Zendikar to get 12 plant tokens before he was finally willing throw in the towel.

Hiew Chee Choong 0 – Lee Eing Yung 1

Game 2

Hiew’s first turn Steppe Lynx and 2nd turn Student of Warfare delivered some quick beats on Lee as he Explore-d into a Misty Rainforest. Lee however then played Harrow into a Deceiver Exarch to put Hiew’s offense to a screeching halt as he tapped down the Lynx and blocked the 3/3 Student.

Primeval Titan was then summoned and along with Harrow, quickly made short work of Hiew and his title challenge, and with that, Lee Eing Yung is 2011 Malaysian National Champion!
