Went 1-3 in my first magic tournament.

Round 1 - 0-2 First game I went against a different Merfolk deck that was more focused around Rhonas the Indomitable and Nissa, Steward of Elements. I lost game 1 very fast and once side boarded I went the distance and lost at stoppage time.

Round 2 - 0-2 I went up against RB Pirates and lost both games very very fast. Once he side boarded and went 4 Kitesail Freebooter 4 Duress and 4 Doomfall it was all over fast.

Round 3 - 2-0 I went up against the traditional Merfolk that relied on Hadana's Climb  ^Flip and exploring. I know this person and played against him multiple times so I knew what to expect. He did take me down to 3 life but once I got on top it was over.

Round 4 - 0-2 The last game of the day I went against RBW vehicals. I never knew this existed and it took me by surprise game 1. Game 2 I thought I was in a good spot but didn't know Walking Ballista can ping me even after it attacks and Lightning Strike to the face.

Summary - Definitely need the Vraska's Contempt to deal with plainswalkers. The Never / Return just doesn't get the job done. Might need to try and find a way to go more mid ranged to deal with the heavy aggro I went up against. Might try to add in some Champion of Wits, Gonti, Lord of Luxury, Demon of Dark Schemes, Dire Fleet Poisoner, Glint-Sleeve Siphoner. What other things can I do to make it more mid ranged without the addition of The Scarab God?
