2. Well, if your card pool doesn’t seem to be working out, it’s better to drop and enter another flight.

   First pool: 0-3 (poor removal)
   Second pool: 4-1 (absolutely rigged. Beat my round 3 opponent in 6 turns)

   My deck (the good one):

   7 Plains
   7 Mountains
   1 Island
   1 Calciform pools
   1 Terramorphic Expanse
   -
   1 Magus of the scroll
   1 Keldon Marauders
   1 Mogg War Marshal
   1 Revered Dead
   1 Aven Riftwatcher
   1 Basalt Gargoyle
   1 Cloudchaser Kestrel
   1 Prodigial Sorcerer
   2 Stonecloaker
   1 Uthden Troll
   1 Needlepeak Spider
   1 Shade of Trokair
   1 Castle Raptors
   -
   2 Brute Force
   1 Dust Corona
   1 Momentary Blink
   1 Temporal Isolation

3. Our flight started at 3pm on the sunday. There was no other flights to go on besides the draft and due to me always doing poorly in limited and not wanting to fork out another $35 (as we’ve hired a mini van down which we under calculated the price of)

4. The bastards bumped me up a table after my 4th round loss (no competitive on sunday either, so had to face the really good players).
   Didn’t have enough time to join Balinor’s flight. Will post decklist later.

5. Well yeah, I came off a 4th round loss and got paired with an unbeaten guy in the last round. It probably happens alot.

6. Happens when there are more than 32 people.

   Deck list:
   Akroma, Angel of Fury
   Rift Bolt
   Aspect of Mongoose
   Reiterate
   Groundbreaker
   Nantuko Shaman
   Thornscape Battlemage
   Needlepeak Spider
   Keldon Halberdier
   Chameleon Blur
   Healing Leaves
   Seal of Primordium
   Sporesower Thallid
   Dead // Gone
   Essence Warden
   Clockwork Hydra
   Evolution Charm
   Fury Charm
   Might of Old Krosa
   Skirk Shaman x2
   Jaya Ballard, Taskmage
   Terramorphic Expanse
   Forest x8
   Mountain x8

   Brief analysis:
   Akroma is obviously very good, people don’t treat morph creatures seriously enough. She ate dragons and beat people around the head. Unfortunately her abilities don’t synergise well, if you morph her you can’t use firebreathing in the same turn and her ‘cannot be countered’ is useless; if you hardcast her, her morph ability is useless and she sits there for a turn.
   Reiterate is fun, I found myself copying Harmonize twice (although the first time I did it I drew 3 lands and lost shortly afterwards).
   Thornscape Battlemage is very good card advantage.
   Chameleon Blur won me games.
   Seal of Primordium was useful, both the times it hit the table it stopped Aura-based removal targetting my Akroma.
   Essence Warden is silly since on average it gained me 5 life and made them waste a 3cc removal spell on the 1drop.
   Jaya Ballard owns limited, killing annoying things like Twisted Abomination, destroying U decks and once, blowing up for the final 6 damage.
