Sideboard...
3 extirpate
1 path to exile
2 pulse of the fields
2 spell pierce
2 llawan
2 rule of law
3 ethersworn canonist

Quick run through of what I beat...
Round 1- High tide (2-1 win)
Game 1- I lose as expected to his shenanigans
Game 2- We have a counter war over a spiral, he wins the war, and actually shuffles it back in instead of RFG. I call judge and they cant fix it so he has an extra spiral in his deck. He wiffs on the spiral getting all counters and lands off of it. I then land a canonist and extirpate and it quickly gets a scoop.
Game 3- I land a rule of law and its shortly over from there on

Round 2- Merfolk (2-0 win)
Game 1- He mulls to 6 I believe. I have a good hand with lots of removal and crucible. I wrath his board once he gets ahead with no vial in play then drop crucible and win from there.
Game 2- He mulls to 5 and I keep a good 7. I resolve a jace and elspeth and thats it.

Round 3- Goblins (2-1 win)
Game 1- I resolve 3 standstills and win off of retarded card advantage and removal afterwards.
Game 2- I mull to 6 and its not good enough he wins pretty easily
Game 3- I have 2 swords and explosives and a standstill, so I can stop lackey, vial, and have a standstill. I get there in the late game. Very close though

Round 4- Tes (0-2 loss)
Game 1- He goes off very fast and I have no chance
Game 2- He goes off fast again with duress effect and silence turn 2 I believe

Round 5- Junk (2-0 win)
Game 1/2- This type of deck I love to play against....No vials, no counters, just a midrange deck. I beat it pretty easily both games, removal and card advantage as usual

Round 6- ID

Record 4-1-1

Top 8- Junk (2-0 win)
Game 1/2- Same opponent as swiss and same outcome.

Top 4- NO bant (2-0 win)
Game 1- He resolves some spells and resolves natural order. I play a disk. He gets me to 1 life and I then stabilize just barely. This deck seems to be a closer matchup.
Game 2- He mulls to 5, I have 2 llawan, standstill, force, swords, and 2 land in opening hand and just gets better and better drawing into wrath. He will not beat this hand with prog. I win

Finals- ANT (2-1 win)
Game 1- He beats me as expected on game 1's vs combo
Game 2- My hand has 1 jace, 2 pierce, force, 3 land. I decide to keep and survive long enough to resolve a jace then win shortly after that resolving a rule and canpnist
Game 3- He has turn 1 ad naus. I get nervous but I know his deck isnt suited like TES to consistently go off with no mana floating turn 1. He uses it to get ahead. My hand has 2 pierce, extirpate, rule, canonist, brainstorm, 1 land. I keep knowing my deck likes to draw lands, and I have BS. I get a extirpate off targeting infernal tutor. Then land canonist and its over soon.

I won a MINT time walk for the day so it was a great day and wouldn't change a thing about the deck. About a month previous to this tournament a ran a very similar list but 4 misstep over the snares and lost in the finals. I love this deck and I always perform with it!!!:wink:
