Hi people, this weekend I played 2 tornaments (saturday and sunday) in Belo Horizonte - Brazil.
The deck choice:
I used to be a fanatic Dreadstill player and get some good results from it but recently i was disapointed with it.
"Nought is awful , CB and Goyf is great, just drop the bad cards and put some good ones" by Fuzzy the magus of MTG
So i decided to leave Dreadstill and try some CB/Top list that could deal with the aggros(Merfolks , Goblins and Zoo in my meta).That guide me to the Supreme Blue( CB japanese list by Sasou) and is was INCREDIBLE AWSOME FOR ME.

Round 2: Tharso playing Goyf Slight
Game 1: He begins and start to burn out me to 1 ( 8 dmg from price of progress) , then i control the matchu with CB + Top lock but lost to a 3cc spell cause with 1 life i could not fetchland to refresh the top of deck.
Game 2: T1 Top , T2 CB protected by Daze + Goyf beats 5 times finish the game.
Game 3:Got some burns , keep FoW for Price , counter his Goyf and i play RWM then counter Fireblast targeting RWM and he gives up.
Round 3: Willian Pro-Bant
Game 1: I begin and play T2 CB which counters his T2 CB with a blind flip.Then I play Top and Goyfs.CB countered his blockers ftw.
Game 2: We I play Goyfs and he monks but then he plays Quasali and starts to beat me while i try to find a StP or some other BigGuy , when i found it he plays natural order and i couldn't race his progenitus.
Game 3: He starts beating me but i StP his threat and start beating with RWM and countering his blocks once he missed 3 land drops.When he try a order i double daze it ( sensei's top help me find enought counters and Threats) and its game.
Round 4: Henrique Enchatress
Game 1: T2 CB + Top and Goyf swings 5 times.
Game 2: I beat him to 1 but he locks me and i give up cause i need time to play game 3.
Game 3: I counter his good stuffs and beats , he plays replanish and locks me but i find EE destroy his enchatment protections and grips his others thing FTW in the last turn of the game.
Round 5: Renato Loam
Game 1: CB + Top + Stp in his goyf and he give up.
Game 2: He plays Goyfs , Relicarys and Crusher and overcome my goyf and StP.CA form loam was the key for him.
Game 3: StP his Goyf , i play one and start beating , he plays Crusher when I'm at 12 and he is at 7 , so i hit him to 1 with goyf and plays Trygon then pass, his Crusher goes to 10/10 (4 lands from the top + loam dreadge + Cycling land) but trygon finish next turn.
Round 6: Alan Goblin RBg
Game 1: he begins with vial + lackeys + MANY goblins and i can't find firespouts, he kills my blockers and game.
Game 2: I play Goyf + Goyf + RWM and become the aggro player.His goblins could not race or block my threats.
Game 3: This game was VERY LONG , firespout stabilished the table but ringleader was always bringing more gas to goblins.At the end I play Goyf and firespout ftw.He brings in Perish which made this game be so long with board sweepers from both sides.
Top8 game:
Canadian Trash Ramon
Game 1: I played around daze and stifle, get hurt by goose but CB lock + Goyf races him.
Game 2: He mulls to 4 and i keep a hand with 4 lands + 2 daze + 1 FoW, he draws 2 lands play goyf i play daze he plays force i play daze countering but he draw another goyf which i StP but i flood lands and he plays 2 goose 3/3 and i can't find EE and he submerge my blocker.
Game 3: CB alone blind flip counters goyf reveling my goyf , i play goyf but he counters , then i play monk and hit 2 times , he take control of my RWM for 4 turn, then i hits him and counters other threats , he ices RWM to gain tempo but at the end his 4 stifles in his hand were useless.
Top4 game ( once i was at Top4 i got the invitation to the final on sunday):
Alan with goblins.
I lost my notes but it was 2-1 for him.
Got the invitation and 7 zendikar boosters( opened U/R fetch , Nissa Foil and Lotus Cobra)
Sunday:
Mainboard:
2 Island
2 Volcanic Island
4 Tundra
4 Tropical Island
4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
4 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Counterbalance
3 Firespout
3 Ponder
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Force of Will

Sideboard:

2 Relic of Progenitus
2 Tormod's Crypt
2 Engineered Explosives
Zoo , goblins and merfolks in metagame made me change my list.Sower is there to stole some bob's , goyfs and Tombstalkers under CB protection.
The final had 16 players and 4 rounds , with cut for top8.
Lost notes and I'm to tired to write so i will just say my impressions.
Round 1: 2-0 vs Pro-Bant
Round 2: Got my teammate so we decided to ID since it is not bad for both.
Round 3: 2-1 vs goblins RB (Lebarion)
A intense matchup decided by every top deck from both, the deck has some hands that can just eat aggro but sometimes your hand can't control without firespout or 2+ goyfs or RWM in early game.
Round 4: My opponent suggested to ID so he can pass to top8 and i agree since if i ID i will not get any teammate before the final.
Top8 match Francis TempoTrash:
2-1 , RWM and playing wisely around daze and stifle was the key.Got some good luck blind CB flips.
Semifinal: Zoo
Game1:Got stomped by many burns and a fat relicary (7/7) and goyf.
Game2:Played StP in his big guys and 2 RWM which made him sac 4 mountains to 2 fireblast so he stayed at 2 lands and can't respond to CB and Goyf.
Game3:I miss readed my hand with 1 Volcanic 2 Tundra , 1 FoW and 3 RWM.
Thought one tundra was a Tropical.Since i could not find a fetch or another cantrip with Ponder(draw in T2) and just found a Fetch in T5 (with Top played in T3) , i played RWM but it was too late, 2 lavamancers burned me 6 over my 3 life gain and i conceded.
Props:
Fuzzy and his wise advice.
Mimo and ScatmanX my Teammates.
Lebarion , Nuclear and Mauro the nice guys that made this trip so funny.
Fuzzy coping my list.
Good food by fair price.
Slops:
Fuzzy coping my list BUT playing with Sowers in maindeck.
Needed to play agains Lebarion for Top8 in final.
Crazy roads and bus drivers from Belo Horizonte.
