Then he gives up because he has no sideboard.

Round 1
Against hannifish.
Game 1
he plays meddling mage I remand he forces my remand ok then I wish then I keep sudden shock in hand for a while and I combo off I play tide ok then reset making all a ruckus about it I win the counter war and he plays stifle on my brain freeze and I force.
Game 2
He has no mage only a army of a lot of guys and I am on 4 something like that when I combo off.
Round 2
Against tes
Game 1
He plays gemstone mine I play island he plays gemstone mine I play island he plays eot plunge into darkness and he takes his turn and while he is comboing I combo off in response with 3 land he completely did not expect it.
Game 2
Well I am with 3 land he plays a lot of mana and ill gotten gains I am ok and then I take back tide remand brainstorm and he plays burning wish leaving 5 mana I think and the level 5 judge gives me a warning for slow play perhaps he was not seeing something or he wanted to go home fast and I remand the burning wish knowing that he has only 4 mana spells while he has 3 mana and I am like weeee and he scoops.
Finals!!!!
Against goblins
It was there that you could see each others decklist and the judge just layed it somewhere on the table while I was going to the bathroom and I never saw it and he said I laid in on the table and with all the other games he said heres the decklist of the opponent.
Well against a goblins player who was 15th all goblins were hated out but some dropped before the top 8
Game 1
Not knowing he plays goblins I keep a hand with 2 volcanics and I lose.
Game 2
I got a really bad hand.
So goblins mostly only need luck and some playskill mostly luck though to win.
He wins the trip to Columbus and I got second.
This was my first really big tournament And I am happy on the results!
Props
For me making soo few mistakes.
For the other guys who wished me good luck.
Slops
The level 5 judge for being a bit irritated and giving me a slow play warning and for not showing me the decklist.
And for goblins having luck again.
