Went 2/2 placing 6th out of 16. I played against the people who ultimately placed 1st, 2nd and 4th so my opponents' win % was significantly higher than others with my record.

I was happy with my mana base. I did initially start with 8 Swamps and only one Corrupted Crossroads but found I had Black mana when I needed it. One game I lost 4 life to a Corrupted Crossroads but was never actually colour-screwed.

My deck was a little faster than the ones I faced. I had good opening hands and strong starts almost every game. I only mulled to 6 three times. However my Creatures were not powerful enough to get through enough damage early and quickly games devolved to board stalls where my Creatures just didn't match up to my opponents'.

I really would have liked more removal. It was handy that my 3 pieces were nigh unconditional but a number of games I lost simply because I'd used them all and my opponent played a ~5/5. Having to save the removal I drew meant I couldn't play aggressively early-game.

However my opponents' didn't seem to have much removal either with far more Creatures dying to trades and blocks.

However despite this negativity, I got a very good impression of the format. The games were strategic, fun and not dictated by bombs.
