Match 1: Living End 2-1

Game 1:

Lost to Demonic Dread into Living End.

Game 2:

Won off Tarmogoyf and burn. 

Game 3:

Won off Deathrite Shaman and Grafdigger's Cage. Plus my opponent seemed a bit screwed on land, and Liliana of the Veil did work on his hand. 

Match 2: UW life-gain 2-0

Game 1: 

Opponent played two Elixir of Immortality and a Silvercoat Lion. I bolted the lion, and killed him with Tarmogoyf.

Game 2:

Bolted another Silvercoat Lion

I got the Liliana of the Veil Ultimate off on him, putting him down to 2 lands. Scoop. 

Match 3: Splinter Twin 0-2
A terrible matchup for me, since I don't have any Torpor OrbCombust, or Abrupt Decay in my 75. Needless to say it was a massacre.

Match 4: Jund mirror 2-1

Game 1:

Won off opponent taking a bunch of damage from his own shocklands + Dark Confidant. I made a mistake regarding his Chandra, Pyromaster, killing it suboptimally. I killed him with double Treetop Village

Game 2:
Lost to Batterskull + Chandra, Pyromaster + Raging Ravine.

Game 3:

Opponent got a bit landscrewed, and I swung into him twice with a 5/6 Tarmogoyf. He Abrupt Decay on my Goyf, but Deathrite ShamanDark Confidant and Pillar of Flame got there. 

Result: 3-1 in matches, 3rd out of 14. Six booster packs for my time. 

Lack of Abrupt Decay or Combust really hurt against Twin. I should have kept hands with Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek and just hope he had no counters. 

I won a couple games by doming opponents with Pillar of Flame.
