p1: witch and vanquisher can be nuts, but inversion doesn't limit my colors.
p2: LOLWHUT; i can only imagine that he took a mulldrifter or misclick (or some crazy forcing strategy)
p3: removal and trying to keep my options open. note that at this point i've passed vanquisher, huntmaster, elf harbinger, and incremental growth.
p4: it was between aethersnipe and crush underfoot for me. i didn't have any giants, so i'm looking to go BRx elementals.
p5: i don't think the adept's viable at this point, so i take blind spot for curve.
p6: i'm pretty sure the changeling is correct to turn on blind spot. furthermore, i have one giant that won't be able to attack and i'm nowhere near white.
p7: preparing to splash.
p8: another giant... sorta.
p11: maybe i can get enough changelings to run sprite chasers and blind spots...
p18: goatnapper might have been a better pick here
p19: pilferers instead of changeling.
p22: just what i needed
p23: ditto
p32: considered the spitfire and i honestly am not sure.

the late braiders really made my deck something more than just a heap. i was pretty happy with the way this played. i took some games siding out an ingot chewer and spiderwig or goatnapper for the sprite chasers.

i can't remember much of the matches except that round three was a beating. oh yeah, now i remember. he had both purity and arbiter. i think he cast arbiter at around 6 life both games and brought himself up to 18. :(
