Round 1
Loss in 3 against Burn.
Game 1, he has the nuts, there's nothing I can do. Game 2, I have a pretty great keep that happens to have a Leyline of Sanctity and some lifelink in it, so I run away with it. Game 3, he has a couple creatures on the board, and I only have one, and it doesn't have many enchantments on it. My life total is such that if I leave a blocker up, he takes it in two turns, but if I swing, I lose on the backswing. I draw an Etheral Armor, do some bad math, and decide to swing. I took him to 1, not 0. Counting is hard.
Lesson Learned: Counting is Hard
Round 2
Win in 3 against Jund.
Game 1, he takes with Thoughtseize, a Liliana of the Veil and a Dark Confidant. Game 2, I have a Leyline, so it's difficult to lose. Game 3 ended up sort of grindy, but I took it eventually with a topdecked Path to Exile.
Round 3
Win in 2 against Grixis Control.
Game 1, Bolt-Snap-Bolt did a lot of work, but I took over after sticking a Coronet. Game 2 is similar, but with Unflinching Courage instead of Coronet.
Round 4
Loss in 2 against Dredge.
I only have the vaguest recollection of this match. I just don't have much game here, I think. Relic can help me hold on for a while, but I can't rely on it completely. Went badly, to say the least.
Round 5
Loss in 2 against Ad Nauseam.
Game 1, he combos off on turn 4 on the play, so I just can't do anything. Game 2, I should have been able to take, but I'm not smart. He has Phyrexian Unlife, and is at -7 life and 8 poison. I have a Dromoka's Command in my hand that I just completely ignore. Then he combos, uses Patrician's Scorn to get through Leyline, and does his thing.
