Finally, success.
I went to Top 4 out of 43 opponents (if I remember correctly), losing only once, and then funnily enough playing the only person who beat me in top 8 (he was #1, I was #8), where I had my revenge, taking his deck out instead.
Honestly, based on the skill level of the other person I faced in top four, I should have won. The problem I ran into was that in game 1, my deck totally flooded again (I had 7 lands to 12 total cards, go figure- through 20% of the deck and 50% of the lands- I'd say the ratio was just a tad off), while this guy just leveled the field with zombie creatures. Game two, it just stalled out, and I got a lot of support/counter (mutagenic growth, Tainted strikes, negates) and no creatures to apply it with. Also went a little land heavy. I lasted longer, but fell out in the end.
I am hoping this week to do even better. For one thing, I changed the sleeves over again, to see if that helps smooth this out some more. I really need to work on the sideboard some, so any suggestions for that would be greatly appreciated.
All around, stoked to have gotten some good success out of this, considering this is one incredibly cheap deck. :P
