Was expecting to see a room full of delver and BUG midrange, which there was, so I played a pretty stock BUG Aluren version at the classic this weekend. Ended up 5-3. Two Fourth Bridge Prowlers and one diabolic edict in the board were impressive.

Losses to burn, grixis delver, and lands. Burn guy drew well, played tight and killed my creatures at appropriate moments. Grixis delver had probe-therapy both games with a clock and I saw zero baleful strix. Against lands I lost game 1 to mulligans and game 3 to T1 sphere, T2 second sphere. Wins against D&T, Wb D&T, Miracles, Burn, and Eldrazi. I haven't played against burn twice in a tournament in a long time. Good weekend. I have a little trouble deciding when to aggressively flood the board without Aluren. I think I could have gotten a game against the better burn player if I had thrown down a parasitic strix for no value and attempted to clock him, but I was too focused on paths for his victory and thought I should hold the strix for a turn or two to hopefully draw a black creature. Because of the matchups I saw, I only used about half my board cards (only brought in grave hate against lands, didn't bring in mindbreaks or CTherapy at all). I played one Kgrip in the board, which I know is not super popular, but it is a favorite of mine and was solid in the matchups I faced. Thanks to the posters on this thread, it is enjoyable.
