6 rounds of swiss to determine top 8. I went 4-0-0 with no game losses. My last two opponents opted to draw out. In the single elimination top 8 I won out to the top 2, and kept a single land mulligan to six on the 3rd game, which ultimately costed me the match.

6 rounds of swiss to determine top 8. I went 4-0-0 with no game losses. My last two opponents opted to draw out, making my final score 4-0-2.

In Top 8, I lost the first match to an almost identical mirror match.On the third game, I mulligan to 5 and had almost identical hands, but he had 3 more burn spells, due to the excessive mulligans.

This FNM uses six rounds of swiss to determine the top 8. I went 4-1-1 and barely squeezed in.

First round I knocked out my opponent, and in the next match I faced the guy I lost to in swiss, and lost yet again to tezzeret with Spellskite s stopping my Shrine of Burning Rage . For the next event I am definitely sideboarding Flame Slash to deal with that card.

Was a standard on a Wednesday night. Before the top 4 was cut, at the end of the fourth round. Two players played a game one with 3 points and the other with 6 points. The player with 3 points won. After they put their decks away and were about to sign the results slip they made a choice,...seeing as they were friends he gave the game to his bud so he could have 9 points and make the top 4, and then split the packs he would win in the top 4. The store owner said "yeah sure, that's fine" and even printed off standings with the false match results to show that it would work to make his friend into the top 4. Basically this screwed the other 2-2's from even having a chance. Breaking DCI rules all over the place, section 4.3, 4.4. Go somewhere else if you want to actually play a tournament that follows DCI rules.
