round one i play a jund deck. g1 i go canonist into screecher into battlemage and he's stuck on two swamps and discarding. he concedes at 8 life after not drawing land 3. g2 was much better. he mulls and i keep a 5 land hand with agony warp and capsule. in retrospect, i knew he was playing black so maybe i should've given more thought to shipping it. i lead with capsule and he has fodder. i draw guardians and battlemage, so i'm not too concerned. i drop guardians as bait and he spends the turn swinging and holding back to crack a panorama. i drop battlemage. he has skeletal kathari. i swing and slam my topdecked sculler, netting vein drinker. he still had violent ultimatum, though. i take from kathari and draw covenant of minds. i swing, he double blocks sculler, and i agony warp to clear his board. he drops an obelisk to enable ultimatum and my plan is to covenant for goodies. i draw gather specimens and fist pump. my covenant gets plains, battlemage, and welkin guide. he ultimatums my board of guardians, battlemage, and sculler. i drop gargoyle getting sculler back and take drinker again. he reveals blightning and deathraiders and casts both his next turn. i discard guide and serpent. i finally draw my island and that makes me pretty happy. i decide to battlemage. he holds back and i kill deathraiders with battlemage and swing. he takes, draws, and passes. i alpha and he skeletonizes sculler and blocks battlemage, going to 3. i wait for the drinker and specimens it for the concession.

round two i played a naya deck. i have early sculler revealing firestoker, cavern thoctar and some others but i took knight of the skyward eye. his firestoker got out thoctar but instead of killing a creature he hit me. i oringed thoctar and had battlemage. he got back the knight but i ground him down with regen and windwright mage. g2 he has cylian elf and i have sculler showing guide, benediction, plowbeast, and cavern thoctar. i take the plowbeast in order to slow his development. i follow with duelist which seems devastating. he attacks, though, so i let it through. i alpha and drop a screecher. he doesn't attack and drops goblin assault. i guide my sculler and swing him down to 6. he orings my guide and holds back the elf. i wave the oring for the win.

roung three i also played a naya deck. he has steward, guardians, double visionaries, gharial, steward, thoctar, quietus throughout the game. i do some damage in the air and hold on. at one point i chump with screecher. i unearth it and drop guide to take him down to 3. i'm also at 3 and have to chump with guide and something else, going to 1 from a spiked visionary. i rip guardians and swing with gargoyle for the win. g2 he has steward and i have duelist. unfortunately, he has guardians :(. i oring the guardians and next turn he dispellers it away :( x2. i play out to the board, but i can't get through on the ground and don't have enough time in the air. i see broodmate dragon this game. g3 he has a visionary and i have a battlemage that gets bolted. i have gargoyle to get it back. he has another visionary and i recast battlemage. i need one more island for specimens. he charms my battlemage away and i have mage. he submersions my mage and swings. i have guardians. he casts plowbeast. i have another mage. he drops doubledragon :( x3. i sculler and see paladin and gharial, taking quietus spike and drop screecher. he has both paladin and gharial. i have battlemage and he has guardians. turn 11, crumbling necropolis, my sixth land and third blue source comes into play tapped. this whole time, though he's just attacking with plowbeast. i make a clever play by blocking with gargoyle and bouncing it. instead, i could've tried to bounce dragon and then specimens on it when he recast. i gargoyled back mage, but it was pretty much over at that point - his board was overwhelming.
