Match 1: UB control 2-0
Game 1 my opponent wrecked me with maindeck Flaying Tendrils to kill 2 of my creatures. But resolved Gideon did work.
Game 2 I remember playing around Negate super hard, then ultimately resolving a Chandra Torch of Defiance.
Match 2: UB Tezzeret's touch 2-0
I don't remember this match too much. I just remember Tezzeret's touch on Pacification Array game 1, and I had Fatal push to deal with it. Game 2 I boarded into more Gideons/Abrades, and it worked out well.
Match 3: Monoblack Eldrazi 2-1
Game 1: I got in some quality aggro here between Toolcraft Exemplar, Scrapheap Scrounger, Heart of Kiran, and Gideon.
Game 2: Lost to double Kalitas into Yahenni's Expertise.
Game 3: Double Doomfall to exile Scrapheap Scrounger, and exile Yahenni's Expertise was clutch.

Match 1: Merfolk 2-1
Game 1: He had no land hate this game, and I managed to kill him by going Prime Time into Scapeshift.
Punted game 2 by not playing out a land on turn 3. So I could have had 5 lands in play turn 3. he also had a Spreading Seas for my turn 2 Valakut. I got run over by lord spam.
Game 3: He spreading Sea's my first Valakut, and Sea's Claimed my second one. He got me kind of low on life with Mutavault and lords, but then I got two more Valakuts in play and started playing mountains.
Match 2: Human aggro/intruder alarm 0-2
Game 1 I had two bolts. Killed his Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant. Then he played a Steward of Solidarity into Intruder Alarm and I died.
Game 2 I used Engineered Explosives on 1 to kill Champion of Parish, Sage of Epityr, Wingcrafter. Then he played another Champion of the Parish, Kytheon, and a Wingcrafter. I died.
Match 3: BG rock 2-0
Game 1 Opponent had turn 3 Liliana of the Veil, but I managed to kill it with Prime Time + Valakut triggers (I had two in play that I searched up with Titan). Once I had Valakuts in play I started nuking his board with land search spells.
Game 2 Opponent had turn 2 Dark Confidant which sucked since I didn't bring in EE. I kind of punted by letting my opponent untap with Scavenging Ooze when I had Relic of Progenitus and could have just exiled his GY then and there. So I ended up taking extra damage from his Ooze as a result.
