Round 1
Dreadstill
He played a very tight game, he played slow and made sure he didn't make any play mistakes.
Game 1
I open hand 6 lands and a Top, I keep tho in hind sight my turn 1 play should have been different.
He go's land go, I draw a STP, go Land top and it is Dazed. I draw enough diruption to pake it a game but never recover from the daze I walked into. I have 12 land in play never missing a land drop and lost to 2 trinket mages and a Factory.
Game 2
Aggitated I shuffle some more and open 2 land and some nice control/aggro cards and keep.
I never get off 2 land and he hits a wasteland right before I get land 3 so I lose round 1.
0-1 0-2
On a Side note Geoff played the exact same deck and had baiscally the exact smae games.
Round 2
Some Aggro deck, did not see enough of it to see what it was.
Game 1
I am sitting next to Geoff and we talk a little and both win the die roll and play. I resolve a turn 2 doran, turn 3 goyf kill him turn 5.
Game 2
See game 1
Geoffs game played out much the same we are both done look over and Hollywood is still playing so we go over and ask him why he is holding up the tournament? Hollywood wins quickly thereafter.
1-1 2-2

Round 4
Burn (Goyf Sligh)
Game 1 takes a long time, he drops me down to 1 for a long time and I regrow Witness and do some witness STP tricks with my creatures as he has no cards In hand to stay alive, I stabalize and am swinging with Tombstalker/Goyf/Witness for 11 a turn he topdecks 2 burn spells and I can not survive I die with him at 1(HUGE MISTAKE, I recount Goyf after I scoop and he was a 5/6 and I would have won if I would have checked Goyf count)
Game 2
Pissed off I play I go land go he plays grim lavamancer I stp it, he says go I go land Chalice for 1, he grumbles and drops a mountain says go this gos for awhile till he gets a green mana and drops goyf I vindicate the goyf and drop Lillina shortly there after make him discard he tosses a fanatic a chain lightning, a bolt and I use lilianas living death he doesn't know how it works and puts his critters on his side and I say no I get them and is aggitated due to having a crypt on his side. He scoops shortly afterwards.
Game 3
I draw into 3 goyfs and proceed a beat down quickly I am at 13, he does Price of Progress I fetch out a basic and take 6, I swing getting him to 5 life, he draws drops goyf, I swing out and kill him with Tombstalker.
3-1 6-3
Round 5
Faerie/Wizard Control
This kid Beat Geoff in the round before so I am a little concerned.
He plays some Faries and says something about a 10 turn clock and I am a little confused untill I find out he beat Geoff that way with like 7 counters in a row. I stp a Faerie and drop a goyf he plays a Jitte at some point I get deed to resolve start the major beatdown and he gets another Jitte with Mutavault and I need to over extend into more critters and he survives for awhil till I just over oper him due to Jitte not staing on Muta Vault.
Game 2 He does a lot of the same stuff draws the Wizard bounce land and does some combat tricks that are annoying, I oper power him in the end but he could have bounced a flash wizard and jitted me out at one point.
4-1 8-3
Top 8
MUC
Game 1
I walk into Back to Basics and grumble about it and lose soon after.
Game 2
I have Shackle hate come in wait till I see some of it get 1 in the yard off a Fact or Fiction looking for an extirpate or a Krosan grip I resolve a deed only to have in needled before I can blow it. He drops Meluku and I need to topdeck a Grip to stabalize and get back into the game, I dont and lose 0-2
I use the credit I win and some cash to get a goyf.
