Roughly 210 people, played this Dega list.

Round 1: Melira Pod 1-2
Game 1: Mull to 5 on draw, Came down to my opponent at 2 life, playing his Spike Feeder. He removed a counter to go to 4 life. I had to use my Lightning Bolt to kill it, as he had a Murderous Redcap in play ready to fetch for an Archangel of Thune. So of course he went to 6 in response. Had to be done.
I hit him with a Boros Charm to bring him to 2. fingers crossed for any top deck burn. drew a 7th land, passed the turn.. he fetched a Cartel Aristocrat and combo'd off with his Melira in play.

Game 2: Mull to 6
Simple beat down, Searing Blaze on Birds of Paradise, Molten Rain on his only black source, tempo'd him out.
-
Game 3: Mull to 6, kept 4 lands, Skullcrack, Searing Blaze. Turn 1 Thoughtseize, lost blaze. He ramped up, fetched up and combo'd with Murderous Redcap again. I had him low, but once again flooded to 8 lands, even after the 4 land keep while thinning with 3 fetches.
