RD 1 Shardless Rhinos
Game one is here. Game two's MVP was Roiling Vortex.
in: +3 Roiling Vortex
out: -3 Rift Bolt
RD 2 Izzet Prowess
I won game one because of Mr. Sonogen's words of wisdom. First: Remember, the deck will only win if it has creatures. And second: Know your Role.
And that's what I did. I aimed whatever burn spells I had at his one-drop creatures with high hopes that the tactic will slow him down. It worked.
Game two is here.
in: +3 Roiling Vortex and +2 Dragon's Claw
out: - 4 Rift Bolt and -1 Goblin Guide
RD 3 Boros Burn
Game one: The opponent had one of the worst possible land combinations against a mirror game - a turn-one tapped shockland and pings from Sunbaked Canyons. And by the time the opponent was able to deal with my creatures (Goblin Guide and Monastery Swiftspear), his life point total was within three bolts spells away. My hand then was Lightning Bolt (which I fired at the end of his turn); then Skullcrack and Flame Rift on my turn.
Game two: Goblin Guides carried most of the scoring load for the home team. "Know your role. - Mr. Sonogen." Keeping these words in mind, I used most of my burn spells to keep the opponent's creatures at bay.
The opponent managed to summon a Kor Firewalker in mid-game but was greeted by Pyrite Spellbomb a turn after. Soon, the opponent did manage to eliminate both of my Goblin Guides but I think it was too late for his life total was down to five. Two bolt spells won me the round.
in: +2 Pyrite Spell Bomb and +2 Dragon's Claw
out: -4 Lava Spike
RD 4 Humans
Game one: And just like what I did in my two previous rounds, I aimed most of the bolt spells at his creatures and let my creatures do most of the scoring. And when his life points hit seven, I fired my last two cards, Flame Rift and Skewer the Critics.
Game two, I got stuck with two lands (Fiery Islet and a Mountain) on the table thus slowing down my progress. To make it more interesting, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben together with pro-red creatures, Auriok Champion and Sanctifer en-Vec, were all there against my team of a goblin and Roiling Vortex.
Game three: The opponent did not have enough gas because he opened the game with mulled to five cards in hand.
in: +3 Roiling Vortex, +2 Smash to Smithereens, and +2 Pyrite Spellbomb
out: -3 Rift Bolt and -4 Eidolon of the Great Revel
RD 5 Hammer Time
The opponent's build is not the typical mono-white. His build was on boros that heavily relied on spells that allow him to fling his creatures at you after it deals damage while holding a hammer.
Game one I died to a turn two Ornithopter with two hammers on it. Game two, after the Goblin Gaveleer attacked with a hammer, he cast Thud in his second main phase to deal lethal damage for the win.
in: +4 Smash to Smithereens and +2 Pyrite Spellbomb
out: +2 Lava Spike and +4 Flame Rift
