Overall the night went really well with a final score of 5-1-1.
Round 1
Opponent: G/U Hydras
Game 1: He curved out very well. Turn 1 Elvish Mystic, turn 2 Sylvan Caryatid, followed by a turn 3 Prophet of Kruphix. Many large Hydras then flooded the board.
Game 2: Game went just as planned. Got in some damage early with a Fencing Ace and Fleecemane Lion. Cleaned up with a Ghor-Clan Rampager on the Ace.
Game 3: Don't remember the exact plays, but very similar to game 2.
Overall: 2-1 Win.
Round 2
Opponent: R/G Aggro
Game 1: Took some damage but laid em out with a good combination of combat tricks on my double strikers.
Game 2: 3 Brave the Elements kept my Selesnya Charm token and Fleecemane Lion which just did work.
Overall: 2-0 Win.
Round 3
Opponent: R/G Monsters
Game 1: Kept a hand with a 2 drop creature and a Mizzium Mortars. I followed with a Preeminent Captain, which flooded my guys in as I was able to use the Mizzium Mortars to remove his Stormbreath Dragon.
Game 2: We both laid down guys, notably his Generator Servant. He sped out a Polis Crusher with it but I answered with another Mizzium Mortars.
Overall: 2-0 Win.
Round 4
Opponent: G/W Aggro
Game 1: Mulliganed down to 5 cards. He curved out well and I scooped on turn 3.
Game 2: He led with a Sunblade Elf. I put a turn 2 Selesnya Charm token in the way and dropped a Fabled Hero on turn 3. Turn 4 he blocked the knight token and I used 2 Ghor-Clan Rampagers on my hero. 20 clean.
Game 3: I had a strong creature on turn 2 and turn 3. Turn 4 I buffed with a Boros Charm and Ghor-Clan Rampager for the win.
Overall: 2-1 Win.
Round 5
Opponent: Jeskai Aggro
Intentional draw into Top 8.
Top 8 Round 1
Opponent: R/B Aggro
Game 1: Turn 3 Master of the Feast went unanswered.
Game 2: Curved out Fencing Ace into Loxodon Smiter and finished turn 4 with 2 combat tricks.
Game 3: Swarmed hard on 2 drops. My creatures were bigger than his.
Overall: 2-1 Win.
Top 8 Quarterfinals
Opponent: Jeskai Aggro
Game 1: He had amazing answers with one Chained to the Rocks and 2 Boros Charms.
Game 2: Got amazing 2 Fiendslayer Paladin, but all of my lands came in tapped, causing the paladin to come in slow with an Imposing Sovereign already in play.
Overall: 0-2 Loss.
Overall
Ended either 3rd or 4th on points, but I don't quite remember which (I think 3rd). Better than I really expected without knowing anything about the meta.
