Played this at a TCGplayer Gold event in late August. Went 2-3 for 16th place. Had in the first round against Jund, and later lost a close round against RWU control. Lost the 2nd round due to having 2 too many cards in Sideboard (oops). Won against an Elf Cratorhoof deck and a BW humans list.

I'm more used to playing tricky combo/aggro decks, with on-board tricks and relentless attacking, so control is a very different playstyle for me. Many times I'd get mad at the deck for not having enough creatures in the deck, and when I'd go to sideboard I'd have no idea what to take out for the match-up.
