Round 1: U/B Teaching
Game1: Its a very long game. My card play was great but in the end, his tendrils save his life. I bring him down to 6 life left and he Tendrils to 14 life and yet again .. i brought him down to 8 life left and he Tendrils to 17 life. That nuttin i can do anymore. He then beatdown me with Triskelavus.
Game2: When we decided to play game2, time was called. So the game ended with a draw.

Result: 0-0-1

Round 2: Mono-Blue Pickles
Game1: Its another mirror match-up. This game was fast, my cretures did not come out and i lost.
Game2: Just say, my opponent pull out a Brine Elemental and Vesuvan Shapeshifter and lock me up. Thats all over for me.

Result: 0-1-1

Round 3: Reanimator
Game1: This was a fun game, I remember that my opponent cast out a Hellkite and I copied it with Vesuvan Shapeshifter and then my opponent decide to bring back Hellkite from the graveyard into play and kill my Vesuvan... and its was over.
Game2: Kill my Hellkite 4 times and i lost.

Result: 0-2-1

So .. thats no way for me to go far or even make it to top 8. So .. i dropped the tourney and playing fun Magic with my frens. Now .. I hope to get top 4 in Nats Qualifiers.
