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. Happens when there are more than 32 people.

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.

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

Didn't have enough time to join Balinor's flight. Will post decklist later.

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) Our flight started at 3pm on the sunday.
