Current record

Ezuri elves
3-0 sets to me (unoptimised list with no glimpse or cradle yet)

BUG infect
4-1 to me

I still feel the list can be improved obviously tabernacle would be huge but expensive.
Lifeblood Hydra feels underwhelming

Took this to one of Francois tournament and came 2nd (lost to a really unlucky geist draw, I beat the deck before the top 8 so was a little annoyed)

game 1: 1-0 to me
Merfolk, they couldnt deal with Glacial Chasm and Thespian's Stage copy against Tidal Warrior Main board!!. Very long game but I won on the last turn of turns with sands of delirium.

game 2: 2-0 to me
Anafenza maverick / hatebears, this match was over very quickly, game 1 I made merit leige turn 2 and won by turn 4.game 2 same things but used Sylvan Safekeeper to protect against a Swords to Plowshares.

game 3: 2-0 to me
Geist tempo, they usually have 3 creatures in the deck and an entreat, I managed to make merit leige at 10 life and he had to Swords to Plowshares it, by the time he got me low again I had stabilized.

game 4: 2-0 to me
Fog Mill, well it turns out Sands of Delirium is a better mill card than every mill card in this deck :Pgame 2 was a bad mull to 5 on his part 1 lander and he shortly conceded after a turn 1 Exploration Elixir of Immortality, turn 2 Azusa, Lost but Seeking Wasteland Life from the Loam lock.

Top8Game 1: 2-0 to me
against my friend on BUG infect (now playing esper thoptor sword) we have played this match quite a bit in prepration and it is heavily in my favour without a very quick kill.Milled game 1, game 2 Crucible of Worlds Wasteland lock. He was playing 3 colours with no basics.

Game 2: 2-1 to me
Mill player again, same story as the games before the top 8

Game 3 (finals): 2-0 to opponent
Mul to 5 (no landers, the irony) lost game 1 but took a while with Zuran Orb and Glacial Chasm thought I might edge out.
game 2 lost to the enchant player mill card that milled all my ench hate, Sylvan Scrying, Exploration Map , Crop Rotation and the two lands Buried Ruin or Haunted Fengraf I needed to recur the hate were in my last 3 cards. Really unlucky in this game, otherwise would have been fine.

Quite happy overall with the tournament
It has inspired a few changes to the deck
Got rid of Terravore which came out most games and was generally never played. brought in Sylvan Safekeeper to main board.
Arcane Lighthouse was never really good so going to put in Ensnaring Bridge when I have the funds.
Homeward Path for Tajuru Preserver as I noticed alot of edicts around the room which I'm happy I dodged.
Realms Uncharted came out every game, so I will be changing to main board Mouth of Ronom



ORIGINS :)
More play testing with friends, mainly thoptor sword and geist tempo.
Origins has bought me two new cards
Animist's Awakening for Ancient Stirrings wow this card is fantastic its card draw land advantage, quite possibly the most broken card in the deck as it lets you play the lands game without the requirement for Life from the Loam and folding as much to graveyard hate.

Nissa, Vastwood Seer   for Budoka Gardener , much better and harder to remove. I've had alot more success with this as an alternate win con over gardener.

I now use Bow of Nylea in the side over the empty slot before, this is a new trial will update on how it works.

Still need to buy a Ensnaring Bridge, and need to find replacements for Grafdigger's Cage and Cavern of Souls both I find myself very rarely sideboarding in, preferably Living Wish targets otherwise that might need to come out of main board.Any advice is welcome.

I love this deck and am a firm believe it is a tier 1 deck up there with geist. Even without The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale it still performs amazingly and I am yet to lose another set of 3 since the tournament.

Let me know what you think I am very open to alterations
