2nd place
Round one vs golgari reanimator 2-1
game 1 i took swift victory with an early sorin and keeper combo. By rootborn defense bating him i turned his 5 creature army down to 2, with all of my stuff being indestructible for the turn. Next turn produced another token with sorin and keeper then transformed him and he conceded.
game 2 he won, he drew two Kessig Cagebreakers one i managed to Oblivion Ring but no removal for the second, it lasted midgame at that point he had 12 creatures in his graveyard. By the time the second was able to attack i had 5 vamps including keeper transformed, but he drew a grisley salvage depositing 2 more creatures in the graveyard and overran me.
game 3 i won. He never got a cagebreaker this time, went alot like game 1.
round 2 vs mono green elf 2-1
game 1 lost to Primal Surge, guy had all draw cards and elves for mana producers, then drew half his deck with Primal Surge including a acromas memorial and swung for lethal.
game 2 won rushed him with tokens and Intangible Virtue until he was nearly dead. Second to last turn he got a worldspire wurm out. I rootborn defnesed with 5 vamps on the field 3 being lifelink using the nighthawk to kill his 19/19 trample wurm and a token to block additional damage. Put out another keeper next turn and transformed both giving all my vamps +4/+4 and he conceded.
game 3 won easily as he didnt draw much other than mana producers.
round 3 vs u/r control 2-1
game 1 lost out to counterspells and burn until he milled me to death with three Nephalia Drownyard
games 2 and 3 with my sideboard and playing very carefully, managed to bait the counter and burns with Lingering Souls and Intangible Virtue, until he was out and overran him with vamps.
round 4 vs a 4 color deck 1-2
game 1 lost to a whole bunch of creature kill followed by garruk the primal hunter and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
game 2 won by overruning him with vamp tokens and baiting his kill spells till i got baron, sorin and keeper out.
game 3 he changed the entire theme of his deck, going from mostly kill to populate draw. Guy had a ton of tokens he kept spawning, never drew a Mutilate and he used Beck / Call to draw six cards in one turn by populating.
((that guy took first))
round 5 vs mono red aggro 2-1
game 1 early Lingering Souls stopped his creatures from doing just enough damage to where i could stabilize with sorin and nighthawk. Was at 2 life at one point, but by the end of the game ended up at 17.
game 2 he either had an awesome hand or drew into one. a Hellrider and double Thundermaw Hellkite overran me
game 3 put out Blind Obedience turn 2 and Mutilate turn 5 with Lingering Souls once again taking the brunt of his assault away. as soon as i laid down my second keeper he conceded.
