Round 1: LOSS
vs RDW: 1 – 2
God Hand mode on game 1 with this tempo: Doom Traveler, Honor of the Pure, Geist of Saint Traft, Angelic Destiny!
I lost on Game 2 because of Stromkirk Noble.
Same scene on game 3… errr, 3 Stromkirk to be exact. My SOWAP came late to rescue me.

Round 2: WIN
vs Illusions: 2 – 1
Lost on game 1 from 5 spirit tokens and Vapor Snag.
Game 2 and 3 was mine. Thanks to this article… I’ve used Gitaxian Probe to my advantage.

Round 3: WIN
vs GW Tokens: 2 – 1
Game 1 win, Geist of Saint Traft + Sword of War and Peace for the win!
Game 2, 4 spirit tokens from Midnight with enchantment killed me.
Game 3, just my luck! Play first but mull to 4: Seachrome Coast, Moorland, Island, Honor of the Pure
Me: Seachrome, pass.
Op: Plains, pass.
Me: Island, Honor of the Pure
Op: Pass, Discard
Yeah right, he’s stuck with one Plains and it’s obvious he was waiting for one Forest or any green mana to cast his mana-producing creatures. Probably multiple Avacyn’s Pilgrim or Birds of Paradise on his hand.
I finally drew one creature on my turn – Geist of Saint Traft
Me: Moorland, GST.
Op: Pass, Discard.
Me: Attacked, opponent took 8 damage.
Op: Concede.

Round 4: LOSS
vs Tempered Steel: 0 – 2
Game 1: On the draw, mull to 5. So yeah, those artifacts kept on coming and I conceded quickly.
Game 2: I still couldn’t make up with my opponent’s tempo even with my Timely Reinforcements. And even if I’ve Negated one of his Tempered Steel, another one came in. Not my day.

Whew! I’m getting revved up! Gotta play more!
