First time at a tournament (1-2-1) —Dec. 30, 2015

Went to a 4 Game tournament and i did alright.

round 1- 2-0 (some sort of graveyard value deck using Zombie Infestation and Life from the Loam. Detention Sphere did its job game one and i just basically didn't let anything stick to the board. In game 2 I had Leyline of Sanctitiy in my hand but forgot to put it down, which he proceded to thouhtseize and Raven's Crime me repeatedly, but retracing it destroyed his tempo, and I Swan Song his Zombie Infestation. I had bad luck with draws and he nearly killed me with the swan, but managed to eventually deal with it and i puled the game out with Heliod, God of the Sun cleric tokens.

Round 2- Grixis Control (0-2) Game 1- he had to many Mana Leaks to let anything resolve, and some Inquisition of Kozileks certainly didn't help. Painful Truths sealed my fate when he took a huge lead in card advantage. I surprisingly put up a fight with my removal, but it wasn't enough. Game 2- he started right away with the hand attack, and used Surgical Extraction on the Ghostly Prison he forced me to discard, and did the same with Sphere of Safety. All i had were Suppression Fields and and my Rest in Peace was too late. I drew into barely enough removal and no other sideboard cards.

Round 3- Amulet Bloom (0-2) Game 1- took a decent hand, and i was on the draw. My T2 Nyx-Fleece Ram didnt stop his T3 Hive Mind combo Game 2=- I mulliganed down to 4, and i had nothing, despite boarding a large amt of hate for this combo, such as spells to counter Summer Bloom and Hive Mind.

Round4- (1-1) Game 1-My friend was playing a weird Splinterfright dredge deck, which a puled a nice combo of Path to Exile and Detention Sphere. Game 2- We went to turns, and mainly because my friend plays so slow. I had a lot of removal, but for some reason he just kept pulling Unburial Rites and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, and i made a bad judgement call on T3 of turns to Detention Sphere his Ghoultree instead of Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and he puled an unburila rites and flung a revived Splinterfright for the win just at time of the round.

I had fun and plan to keep using this deck, and the manabase suprisingly with very few flaws worked like a charm.
