Notes
2 wins, 1 loss, and 2 draws was my record.
I could have converted the draws into win; but juggling two completely different things at the same time at the same place - is hard. Attending / guarding your kid in an event like this and trying to have a consistent firm grip of control on your opponent's board state are hard to accomplish.
Here are my errors / misplays. First, I kept bad opening hands (5 lands, 1 path, and 1 Absorb) and (Island, helix, Relic, FON, shackles, and ancient) during game one against an unknown opponents. The second one was: I should have double checked each card my opponent has on his side of the table before committing counters onto an Engineered Explosives. Next was when I had like ten untapped non-fetchlands lands on my table but still opted to pay mana for a counter spell (Dovin's Veto) instead of just simply paying two mana to negate the effect of his Spell Pierce. Fourth was when I decided to cut Sphinx Final Word from the main for the fourth Cryptic Command at the last minute before the event started. And lastly, I should have dropped the second Vedalken Shackles instead of just making it sit on my cards-at-hand the whole time.
On the positive note, here are the good things I experienced from this event. First, Academy Ruins bailed me out against the UB mill opponent. The second was when Kor Firewalker single-handedly won me the round against the Mono Red Prowess. Third was when Vedalken Shackles successfully 'borrowed' Gideon. Destroying multiple permanents, with the same casting cost, via Engineered Explosives is the fourth best thing. Fifth was when I get to stifle opponent's whatever ability he has for me. And lastly, the Jollibee-date before and after the event with Chabeng.

Notes
x-2-1 was my record.
I committed four misplays during the February 23rd event. The first was in the round one where I should have waited for the right moment before dropping Vedalken Shackles. The second misplay was forgetting to tic down the Ancestral Vision's counter.
As for the third: RTFC before doing something. This happened maybe like two or three times throughout the day, but the most irritating RTFC situation happened in my win-in game. I dropped Vedalken Shackles and immediately activated it to 'borrow' opponent's druid. Opponent simply tapped Giver of Runes to give it PROTECTION FROM COLORLESS.
And lastly, I thought I had a Lightning Helix in my graveyard. So when I casted a Snapcaster Mage, and I found out that there was none . So I opt for Archmage's Charm instead.
There were, well not really misplays, but should I say unfortunate circumstances because I lost games because of these. These were: (i) I got stuck with three lands; (ii) The lands I had on the table were: 2 Islands, Mountain, and an Academy Ruins on the board while my hand hand the following: Lightning Helix, Absorb, Magmatic Sinkhole, and a Cryptic Command; and (iii) he had a 4/5 Kalitas out and I had a Vedalken Shackles but my Island count was short by one.
So that's the end of the February tournament report. Thank you for reading.
