SB: 1 Tormenting Voice

SB: 1 Dual Shot

SB: 2 Twin Bolt

SB: 2 Skin Invasion

SB: 1 Rush of Adrenaline

SB: 2 Stensia Masquerade

SB: 2 Smash to Smithereens

SB: 2 Act of Treason

SB: 1 Magmatic Chasm

SB: 1 Fiery Impulse

ok, now let's go to the reports.

We were only in 7 players, so one (not so) lucky guy will receive a bye.

Guess who?

Yes, me!

So:

1st Round - Bye - I didn't like. Well, it counts as a win and you don't even need to play. But it's sad as you are at the tournament to play and test your new deck.

2nd Round - 2-1 Kolaghan Control - Yes, that Kolaghan that I mentioned at the description. I played the second round against my friend Disrok. I was very nervous, because we both play a lot against each other and he usually wins. The first game I manage to hit him hard and I won. As expected, on game 2 he came up with lots of flaying tendrills and he could easyly control my creatures. He also disrupted some burns with duress. Nothing more to say. On game 3, I could hit lots of damage because on early game he lacked of black mana, and when he got his 4th land on board I already damaged him for more then 10 damage and I had a Scab-Clan Berserker Already Renowed on board. So he cast a Thunderbreak Regent and I finishd him by using an Act of Treason on the little dragon.

against him, I just sided 2 cars:

-2 Sin Prodder

+2 Act of Treason

3rd Round - 2-0 Bant Company - Two close games.

I started playing on game one, so I got a really nice advantage, as his first land drop entered the battlefield tapped. His first creature was cast on turn 2 and removed in the same turn. On turn 3 he played another land that entered tapped. He was slow, I hit hard. on turn 4 he used a CoCo that broke my field, putting a Reflector Mage and a Bounding Krasis. Fortunatly, the hard hitting on the earlier turn let his life on range of burns. To finish him I needed to cast 3 burn spells, he prevented a Exquisite Firecraft with Dromoka's Command, Countered a Fiery temper with Dispel and couldn't do anything for another Firecraft.

On game 2 my deck worked so well that I think nothing could stop it.

Turn 1 gorger

Turn 2 hit with gorger, cast Neonate and Lightning Berserker

Turn 3 cast another berserker an surge a Bushwhacker.

Again I needed burn spells to finish him, because on turn 4 it's very difficult to reach his life with creatures, but the "final word" on game 2 was a tormenting voice that gave me a Neonate and a Bushwhacker.

I had mana for both and he had 2 life and 2 blockers. GG

About the cards used:

Reckless Bushwhacker - Showed his valor in all the 5 games I played. Disrok and jmiller0326, Thanks again!

Lightning Berserker - Found his place on main deck. He means lots of damage without casting cards, so I can reach the mid/late game with more resources.

Village Messenger and Avacyn's Judgment - Confirmed that I don't want them in deck. When they showed up, they didn't helped me. So they will be the first cards I'll replace when I get more cards of the Original List

The other cards worked as expected!
