List I played was Reid Duke Jund (from GP Detroit).
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 Orb, Combust, 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 Shaman, Dark 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.
