I went over to Versus Games for modern. I was playing RUG Twin, with 4 Dig Through Time, 3 Thought Scour, and only 2 Splinter Twin.
Match 1: Bogles
Game 1:
My opponent mulls to 5, and I kill his Kor Spiritdancer. He fails to draw any other creatures to suit up.
Game 2:
Kept a hand with no disruption, managed to stabilize at 2 life with a 5/6 Tarmogoyf, but then my opponent swarmed me with 1/1's.
Game 3:
This was kind of an intense match. I played a turn 2 Spellskite, he tried to Path to Exile, I had Negate. Then he had another Path to Exile, and I had no answer. Then he played a 7/7 Bogle, and got up to 34 life. I resolved an Engineered Explosives on 1, and a Scavenging Ooze. Eventually, I managed to kill his Bogle with Anger of the Gods, and I had a 6/6 Ooze and a 4/5 Tarmogoyf in play. I had a Cryptic Command and a Counterflux in hand. He tried to suit up another guy, and then I used Counterflux. He tried to counter it with Guttural Response, and someone else pointed out that Counterflux couldnt be countered. So I swung for lethal.
Match 2: 4C Gifts (2-0)
Played against my friend who I drove to the store with.
Game 1:
Milled one of my Splinter Twin with Thought Scour, next turn, I drew the other one. Combo'd off and won.
Game 2:
This was a grindy match, where my opponent was making me discard all my stuff with Raven's Crime, while at 1 life. I managed to topdeck Tarmogoyf and he was out of removal, so he scooped.
Match 3: Ad Nauseum (0-2)
Game 1:
Kept a weak hand with a bunch of cantrips, couldn't draw any pressure besides a Tarmogoyf on turn 3. Lost to the combo on turn 5.
Game 2.
I kept a hand with some disruption and Tarmogoyf, but my opponent had turn 3 combo protected with Pact of Negation.
Result: 2-1, ended up 3rd place out of 6 people, for 5 dollars store credit. :\
Added: My round 3 matchup from my opponent's side:
