I am going to apologize now. I have never written a tournament report before but I have read a bunch so I am going to try to make this the best as possible. I am not very good with names, that's why my score paper always says "Me" and "Him"
I played Bant and here is the list
// Lands
1 Forest
2 Island
1 Plains
3 Tropical Island
2 Tundra
4 Windswept Heath
4 Flooded Strand
1 [ Dryad Arbor
// Creatures
4 Noble Hierarch
1 Progenitus
2 Qasali Pridemage
3 Rhox War Monk
4 Tarmogoyf
// Spells
4 Brainstorm
3 Ponder
3 Daze
4 Force of Will
4 Swords to Plowshares
3 Natural Order
4 Counterbalance
3 Sensei's Divining Top
// Sideboard
1 Empyrial Archangel
3 Submerge
3 Krosan Grip
3 Gaddock Teeg
1 Relic of Progenitus
1 Tormod's Crypt
3 Path to Exile
Tournament had 32 players for 5 rounds.
Round 1 - Carl Winter, Dredge
Nothing really spectacular happened in this round. I don't have a really good sideboard against dredge so I think Carl took this round in 2 games, but I have won one of them. I do know that Carl mulled to 5 on game 2 but still didn't matter.
0-1
Round 2 - Unknown, BG Rock with Natural Order
Game 1 he had a few duresses and cabal therapys to remove my counters and my own natural order. He resolved a Natural Order and Progenitus beat my face.
Sided in 3 Submerge, 3 Paths. Sided Out 4 Counterbalance, 2 Tops
Game 2 I used my massive amount of removal to keep his creatures at bay and Tarmogoyf got there.
Game 3 I don't really remember this game, I'm sure it was similar to game 2 because thats basically what my deck does.
1-1
Round 3 - Unknown, Red Stax
Game 1 He leads with turn 1 Trinisphere, which I luckily can force. I drop a few land and he gets down a morph. It ended up being Gathan Raiders, I eventually StPed it and then resolved Natural Order. He dropped a Smokestack but it was just too late. Progenitus beat him down.
Sided in 3 Krosan Grip. Sided Out 3 Ponder
Game 2 He had a slow start and started hardcasting Simian Spirit Guides. I countered a Smokestack, and resolved CB. Eventually got off Natural Order and Progenitus beat him down again.
Who knew red couldn't deal with Progen?
2-1
Round 4 - Brian, Ant
Game 1 He duresses me a few times and neuters my counters. I have a Goyf down at a 5/6. He combos out and Infernal Tutors with storm count 9. I am at an 18, and he knows I have a StP in hand with white open. Or at least he had it written down. He goes and grabs Tendrils instead of Ill Gotten Gains, I swords my own Goyf and go to 3. I play a Warmonk and pass. He does nothing. I drop a Heirarch and swing 4. The life totals quickly change and I end up winning a game I shouldn't have.
Sided in 3 Gaddock Teeg, 1 Relic. Sided Out 4 StP.
Game 2 He duresses and sees a Teeg and Counterbalance. He takes a Daze I believe and passes. I get down Teeg on turn 2, and CB on turn 3. He burning wishes for Grapeshot. I'm not too worried because I have another Teeg in hand. He plays a Lotus Petal and then Grapeshots Teeg for 2. I fetch and brainstorm. He responds by REBing by CB. It ends up resolving but I still get to use my original CB trigger and counter 1 copy of Grapeshot. Teeg and Goyf get in there for the win.
3-1
Round 5 - David (I think), Bant Reliquery
I dont know if that is the title of his deck but it was basically UGW with Knight of Reliquery and Terravore.
Game 1 He mulls to 4 or 5 and can never really get started. He plays a Goyf to block my Goyf, but then I drop a Heirarch for exalted. Take down two of his Goyf and a Knight. Eventually I get through for the win.
Side in 3 Submerge, 3 Paths. Side Out, 3 Ponder, 1 CB, 1 Rhox War Monk, 1 Dryad Arbor
Game 2 It pretty much goes the same as game 1. I get out a Goyf, he plays one to block, I ended up resolving Heirarch. I resolve a Natural Order. I have Goyf and Progen on board, he has 10/10 Terravore and Goyf. He swings both and I Submerge his Terravore, he Misdirects it to my Goyf, but I have a StP to handle the Terravore and stay alive. It takes one more turn to kill but Progen gets there.
Top 8 - Unknown (brother to Unknown from Round 2), Bant with Jitte and Clique
Game 1 This is probably the best game I have had all day. We trade back and forth with Goyfs and his Clique. I end up being at 1 with him at a 4. He has a Goyf and Heirarch, I have just a Heirarch. I can only draw a Natural Order to win this game. I believe in the heart of the cards and top deck the Natural Order. Progen ends the game.
Side in 3 Submerge, 3 Paths, 2 Krosan Grip. Side out 4 Counterbalance, 3 Tops, 1 Ponder.
Game 2 He gets pretty land flooded and I end up resolving a Natural Order and again Progen wins me a game and round,
Top 4 - Colin, Left Field's Reanimator
Game 1 I mull to 6 and lead with land go. He drops Island and passes. I fetch and drop a Goyf as a 1/2. He Brainstorms in response, shows his cards to a friend and scoops. Easiest game I had all day. I guess he drew 3 Entomb, with 1 all ready in hand and no second land.
Side in 1 Relic of Progenitus, 1 Tormod's Crypt, 3 Krosan Grip. Sided out 3 Ponder, 1 War Monk, 1 Heirarch.
Game 2 He leads with land Duress. Takes something relevant. I resolve a CB. He does a few things but doesn't land a creature. I resolve Natural Order. He has an out in his hand and an Empyrial Archangel in yard. He Exhumes for his fog but it gets Dazed. Progen for the win. He never hit his 3rd land, which definitely set him back because his hand was mostly 3 drops.
Top 2 - I split with my teammate Justin and we each take 200 store credit.
