Rounds: 1-0, Games:2-0

Round 2: Zach Tartell (Lonelybaritone), GW Enchantress
Game 1: He manages to get Solitary Confinement +2 Sterling Groves so I scoop.
Game 2: I Orim's Chant Him 3 turns in a row while assembling a good combo hand and then I tendrils him for 24.
Game 3: See Game 2.

Round 3: Evan (LegoArmyMan), Ichorid
He asks to I.D. and I'm feeling super nice so I do.
Rounds 2-0-1, Games: 4-1

Round 4: FoolofaTook, UB Stifle-Nought
Game 1: I Stall him with Orim's Chant until I eventually Combo out after another Orim's Chant around turn 5/6.
Game 2: He starts with Leyline of the Void in play and drops a turn 1 chalice then he starts swing with a tombstalker which I Wipe Away and then at EOT I Chain of Vapor his Leyline into his hand. On my turn I Orim's Chant him and he forces then I follow up by abeyancing him and then combo for win while he looks at his Tormod's Crypt with a sad face on.
Rounds: 3-0-1, Games: 6-1

Round 5: Alan (Scrumdogg), I Will Survive
Game 1: I combo out very quickly and kill with a tendrils.
Game 2: I combo for some EtW's tokens, but he combo's too and 10 Goblins can't deal infinite damage... so on to g3.
Game 3: I Combo out for 16 tokens then the turn before I kill him he needs to topdeck a land so he can combo for infinite Life but he top-decks MURMURING BOSK which comes into play tapped and I then swing for lethal.
Rounds: 4-0-1, Games: 8-2

Round 6: Jared (Jaynel), GRB Burning Survival
Boring thing about the 1/2 seeds in the last round of swiss is they draw.
Rounds: 4-0-2, Games: 8-2
At the end of Swiss I was in 2nd place with 14 points.

Top 8: Geoff (Konsultant), Tombstone
Game 1: Neither of us no what the other is playing but his turn 1 Cabal therapy basically clears that up. I top-deck a dark ritual and combo out on my turn.
Game 2: I'm in mid combo for the win and when I go to play the Ill-Gotten Gains in my hand someone said something to me and I play infernal tutor instead and pick up my library. Since it is top 8 I'm not going to ask him if I can undo it because of the distraction and I lose.
Game 3: It not looking good, I start by mulling down to 5. Then he cabal therapy's me 11 (this is not an exaggeration or typo, I kept tally.) with Eternal Witness' etc. The 11th is on a brainstorm he know I have and he kills me the following turn with the 2 eternal witness' after the game we look at the 3 card I would have brainstormed into and it turn out I would have got Dark Ritual, Lion's Eye Diamond, Infernal Tutor, throwing back Volcanic island and a Lotus petal and I would have combo'd for the win. Oh well They were good games and the tournament was a blast.
