round one i play a gr deck. g1 i keep a rough hand and draw high ccs while he has a marauder on t2. he has foriysian totem t4 and i can't logic knot it. i judge it but ship two lands and blind phantasm only to reveal a land. i saltblast it on my turn and he responds with harmonize into storm entity. i drop jodahs and he has baloth. i respond with magus and he has evolution charm to fly the baloth, putting me to 4 and then casts warrens for 4 tokens. he drops archer and then busts. i fortify instead of logic knotting, like an idiot. i go to 1 and have two creatures to his 3.

g2 i suspend sursi then ephemeron and cast outrider while his first play is a t4 needlepeak spider. i swing with outrider and knight and then judge the spider. stacking saltblast and the land to cast it. he drops archer and storm entity. i morph aquamorph and he has imperiosaur. i saltblast the imperiosaur and swing, forgetting to hold ephemeron back. next turn i swing and drop jodahs for the concession.

g3 he has t1 baloth while i go sursi. he has marauders while i have deepwalker. he has no follow up to marauders, though, and misses land drop 4 and casts llanowar augur. i forsee on my turn to make sure i have land 5 for spin into myth when his baloth comes in. he empaths for archers. i spin baloth and leave a forest on top. he has nomad and i respond with calciderm. he drops archers and bonesplitter. and i drop valor. he augurs the nomad and swings for 7, which i take. he harmonizes and then casts totem which i logic knot. i then morph aquamorph and he ichor slicks my sursi. i decide to let it go rather than bounce with whitemane. i swing calciderm, valor, and aquamorph into his board of archer, nomad, and bonesplitter. he blocks archer on calciderm and nomad on valor. after damage, i save calciderm with whitemane and recast after combat. he has imperiosaur and pyrohemia. i swing with all but whitemane and he's left with imperiosaur. i drop liminid and realize that i should've probably flipped aquamorph to put him to 1. if he draws another mountain, i'm done. he activates twice, putting him at 2 and me at 4, drops virulent sliver, evolution charms back archer and casts it to empty his hand. i didn't have the heart to tell him evolution charming for a mountain would've won it. his final draw is a herd gnarr instead of the rift bolt he'd been wanting.

round two i play a rg deck. g1 i have a t3 outrider while he has germinator. i have no t4 play while he drops primarch. i dream stalker and pass blockers. i then forsee and keep calciderm, crusader, and a land. he drops phantom wurm and i have the saltblast for it. still swinging 2/2s at each other, then he drops penumbra spider and i get the land for jodahs. he drops omenreader and i attack with avenger. my stops are wrong so i give him first strike but not shadow before he can block it. he triple blocks, i assign 3 to primarch, he attempts to save with saproling, i judge the primarch revealing parasite, he ghostfires, and i give protection from red and let it die instead of saving it with whitemane. what a TERRIBLE turn. i drop big derm and he has emberwilde augur. i attack with calciderm and outrider. he doesn't block so i crusader him down to 3. he riddles me to 7, showing utopia vow, augurs me to 4, casts vow on stalker, and alpha strikes with germinator w/4 counters, spider, and omenreader. i drop whitemane bouncing stalker and block crusader on germinator and lion on omenreader. he makes a token and lets them die. he has a token blocker and one card to my outrider and calciderm. i swing, he blocks derm, and i fortify for the win.

g2 i mull into a questionable hand. he t0 cycles street wraith, and has a t2 lens to my ephemeron. he has a t3 omenreader while i drop aquamorph. he swings and drops clockwork hydra. i attack, he declines to block, and drop calciderm to slow things down. i drop liminid and hold back while he has no plays. ephemeron comes in and i hit for 7 in the air then morph parasite. he vows ephemeron and drops greenseeker. my calciderm's about to die so i swing with aquamorph, derm, and liminid. he blocks omenreader on entity and hydra on calciderm, pinging morph. i flip aquamorph as a wall to save it and parasite the hydra post combat to kill it. i swing with the liminid a couple times and that's it.

round three i play a br deck. g1 doesn't have a replay but he mulls and i get a good suspend draw and maul him after trading my scout with his blightspeaker, pushing through his trapper, and logic knotting his pact of the titan.

g2 he has a t1 corpse, while i follow with a t2 ephemeron. he has aether membrane and i don't have a t3 play. my t4 play is missing a land drop and suspending knight while he has arena and suspends mindstab. i miss another drop and lay nodes. his corpse comes in, nodes kills membrane, and i swing with ephemeron. i get a 4th land for foresee. i keep everything in prep for mindstab. he drops deepcavern and swings. nodes kills deepcavern, my knight comes in, and he midnight charms to tap ephemeron. i drop a liminid. nodes kills knight and i get in for 7. he's at 7 to my 9. i drop calciderm and pass. mindstab hits and i toss valor, outrider, and aquamorph. he doesn't draw anything and concedes.

i'd usually side in the stalker for magus, as i didn't have too many cheap cards to really capitalize off the magus. an early wall if needed and another way to recycle calciderm was nice.
