Got 5th last night (due to tiebreaker. 2-5th place all went 4-1). There was no Mono Blue in my meta, so my fears of that are gone.
1st round 2-1 vs Golgari Control
2nd round 2-0 vs Pack Rats
3rd round 2-1 vs Izzet control
4th round 2-0 vs Mono Blue Control
5th round 2-0 vs Rakdos Aggro
Esper Control was there like crazy, Mono Black Devotion (with white-splashed or blue-splashed variants), and Golgari Control. I ended up getting 2 Burning Earths before the tournament started for this reason.
My only loss was due to land flooding, and for the rest of the night, I sideboarded one of my Nykthos out to mainboard a Burning Earth. I'm now considering lowering the land count.
