Went 4-1-1 to the Top 8 with these matches:
UW Control with Snapcaster, Clique, Squadron Hawks and Jitte's , grind out both games with Strixes and Deeds 2-0 (1-0)
Deathguy Ale (B/W Stoneblade) I grind out both games with Standstills and Deeds 2-0 (2-0)
Sneak&Show Win game 1 on chaining Standstills and Counters, Lose Game 2&3 to Sneak Attack :( 1-2 (2-1)
Show Omniscience Win game 1 on well timed counters and Standstills, Lose game 2 when i kept Island, Brainstorm, FoW, FoW, Counterspell, Krosan Grip, Krosan Grip, my brainstorm finds FoW, Flusterstorm and Standstill but i never get a 2nd land Game 3 i win on chaining Standstills with counter backup 2-1 (3-1)
UW Stoneblade with Entreats and Terminus I again grind out games with Standstills, Strixes and well-timed Pernicious Deeds, Game 2 he Brainstorms turn 2 without dropping a land, i Spell Pierce he passes, Brainstorms turn 3 i Counterspell he passes and doesn't find a land untill 2 turns later, when he was too far behind. 2-0 (4-1)
Merfolk ID into top 8
Top 8:
Merfolk Game 1 i get Islandwalked to death by turn 4 or 5, Game 2 I controlled the board long enough to get out Deeds and he scooped when i resolved a Jace, Game 3 he has to Mulligan to 5 which contains Mutavault, Vial, Vial, random, random and i Maelstrom Pulse the 2 Vials on turn 3 with FoW backup. 2-1 (5-1-1)
RUG Tempo, Game 1 he has triple Stifle and triple Wasteland, by turn 6 i played 6 lands and have 0 in play and die without having played a single spell, Game 2 he has double Stifle and double Wasteland + Life from the Loam and has a 3rd Stifle for my fetch when i try to get green sources for my own Loam 0-2 (5-2-1)
Overall we were both really happy with the list, and we just need to make a few minor adjustments to make the RUG matchup more doable.
